According to a recent survey via upgradedpoints.com, how much patrons tip can vary greatly between not only states but also the type of bar.

The survey found that in Louisiana, our favorite places to grab some drinks to wind down are our good ole local dive bars.

Across the U.S. the average patron tips 20% of their bar tab.

Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, and Colorado all tip their bartenders 25% or higher.

The majority of people surveyed in Kansas, Minnesota, and Iowa say...they don't tip at all.
