How do you feel about the Varsity charging for water?

Bowen call-out thread

I think it's shitty for them to charge for tap water. People need designated drivers. Those designated drivers should get free non-alcoholic beverages, imo.

However, I'm not familiar with the Varsity. Is it a club/venue, or is it just a pure music venue/auditorium? I think that makes some difference. That being said, they can do what they want.

They don't charge for water in the Chimes, so if you're that cheap, just walk the extra 30 ft to the bar at The Chimes and drink you some (I have done this many times )

tap water I usually tip $1 every drink

This, but tap water is all I have during shows.

Pretty much everywhere you get free cups of water


Eta: come on Bowen, this is some bullshite

They, literally, just fill Gott coolers full of water with plastic cups next to them everywhere at EDM shows around here. That way those people aren't bothering the bartenders and standing in line for water.

I'm like others, though. If I'm drinking water instead of booze (not often), I tip the bartenders every couple of glasses of water.

It is often up to the discretion of the bartender.

nailed it...

It's tacky. I could see charging for bottled, but there should be a free option of ice in a plastic cup.

Please tell me where you can get free water at any show with paid admission.

Pretty much every show I go to. A lot of places have water coolers set up w/ cups so you can get it yourself and not bother the bartender.
