The fine print

Rules of the Bar

Every good bar has a few. Ours are simple, and the bartender enforces them with a smile.

  1. Phones down, glasses up

    A photo of your drink is fine. A photo of the penny wall is encouraged. Then come back to the conversation.

  2. Be good to each other

    Everyone at the bar is a friend, or about to be. Kindness is the only dress code.

  3. Politics and religion stay at the door

    Check them on the way in. They'll be right where you left them on the way out.

  4. Shaken or stirred is not up for debate

    Citrus gets shaken. Spirit-forward gets stirred. We will explain why, at length, if asked.

  5. Know when to call it

    Water is free, rides home are easy to get, and nobody drives after drinking here. Ever.

  6. Leave it the way you found it

    Bring your glass back, push in your stool, and help us keep this place a secret. We are truly a speakeasy.

  7. The bartender's word is final

    On recipes, on last call, and on whether pineapple belongs in that.

  8. Drinks are free, tips are appreciated

    There's no tab at the Common Cents Bar. If you'd like to thank the bartender, the tip jar is always happy to take your pennies.
