As far as bar service, I can't see tipping $1 because a 12 oz beer was opened and handed to me. If there is extra effort for a mixed drink etc, I understand - that takes knowledge. But I don't go to bars much, in fact, the last bar I went to that had a doorman (bouncer) was in Dec 2006 in Atlantic City.

Tipping the bartender like that is 'cause they are most likely going to have a big mass of people yelling at them for drinks at one point or another during the night, and that is when they're not pouring the drinks for the waiters, and you want that bartender to know that serving you is going to get him something.
A BIG thing that some people don't get with tipping is tipping friends. If you go to a bar to visit a friend who works there, chances are you are going to be getting a couple of your beers knocked off for free. A good friend will calculate half of the free stuff that their friend voided for them, and tip them that. A best friend will calculate all of the free stuff that was given to them, and tip them that.
