Question about bars?

I think it depends on the bar, but if you want a more top shelf liquor than you usually have to specify. 🤔

That being said, I did most of my drinking in a room at home by myself, so I'm not fully qualified to answer this. XD Just hazarding a guess haha.

Funny story when I was on exchange with the USAF I went to the officer's mess and ordered a whisky. They served a bourbon. I explained that I was from Canada and that in Canada whisky is RYE whisky. The bartender laughed and said next time order a CC (Canadian Club). Here in Canada you get either house whisky or a specific whisky like CC or Crown Royal only if you order it. Back when I drank it non house brands were extra charges.

Usually they go with the house spirit unless you specifically state otherwise. The house spirit might be a brand name. Also you might get high-end liquor on special depending on what day you attend the bar of your choice.

Depends on the bar. It varies. Some cheap places will even water it down.

Yet once went after hours to a certain place, just to pickup their discarded bottles. They actually were throwing away the expensive good stuff with just a little bit remaining.

As much as a couple of shots. Actually got around ¾ of a bottle of Scotch whiskey from all the same brand bottles.
This goes for between $74 to $106 a bottle on the Internet.

order by brand. a Tanquerary and tonic or Patron margarita

I guess u could ask him or her to make it with Jack Daniel’s if u want

At a proper bar they will ask you if you prefer a brand. If not you say “Well is fine.” The well is below the bar where they keep the cheap stuff.

It legit depends on the bar. Although you can ask specifically for Jack Daniels in your old fashioned, and I'm sure they'll do it.
