Time to find a new bar!

 

yeah sound like you just went to a terrible bar, where was this?

 

So what's the name of this bar that will soon be on the show "Bar Rescue"?

 

Dirty is with olive juice, not water. That is super weird..

 

That would be hilarious, show is full of stupid owners

 

I have been drinking at bars since I was 16 and I have never seen a bartender put water in a shot unless someone asked for it.

Why didn't you just ask for it with out the water and ask why they would do that in the first place?

Edit: They put water (just a few drops) in my Scotch when I order the good stuff at my local bar. Only because they know I like it that way and only with high quality h2o.

 

some drops of water in expensive scotch is a good thing, commonly done. it helps bring out flavor. other people sip it on the rocks and drink it in a predetermined amount of time to allow the ice to melt a slight bit.

vodka though....wtf. wouldn't see me ordering shots first of all, but if I did I would never want water in it

 

Authentic Russian vodka shot! Water make better!

 

hmm... if you friend had ordered the vodka chilled, adding water would be an easy way of killing the flavor. if not, then I have no idea what the bartender was thinking.
I'm old school myself, shots straight. if it's chilled or i need a chaser, I probably shouldn't be drinking that particular liquor LoL. When people order whiskies chilled (WHISKEY!) and then have the audacity to ask for a coke or some kind of juice chase, I usually offer a hand hold to help them get through it

 

That bartender was probably the owner and was trying to save money lol

 

This was a private event so I'm not sure where the bartenders came from. Wierd.

Honestly, I was not watching every single "shot" they poured, but after seeing my friends, and a few more, I thought that's what they were doing.

Wierd.

 

haha how many 'water shots' did you have before watching the bartenders?

 

silly!

really I didn't drink that much. But I guess the truth doesn't matter.

 

if it was private event, maybe there was a limited amount of vodka compared to guests, so the bartenders were told to water down the vodka a bit so there would be more hypothetical vodka. Also, it may have been a means to get people to drive home safely; under the legal limit, and placebo effect of drinking true vodka compared to watered down vodka so people would believe they are drinking alot, but in reality not much.

But then what do I know.. just a kid..

 

I was gonna say he probably ordered vodka and tonic shots without rocks. But if it was a private event then idk. I work at a restaurant where a lot of people order lots and lots of drinks and I've never heard or seen my bartenders do that. I don't think they're allowed to unless its asked for. Hell, if anything, you ask for a shot you end up getting a double lol. They tend to be generous with the alcohol haha.
