How much should you tip in Ireland 🇮🇪?

In Ireland, tipping is appreciated but not expected or required. Service workers are paid a decent wage, so they don't rely on tips for their income. However, if you receive good service, it's common to show appreciation by tipping. For bars, tipping bartenders is not a common practice. If someone brings a drink to your table in a pub, a tip of around a euro is acceptable. For restaurants, a tip of around 10% for table service is common, especially if the service is exceptional. If you're paying by card and wish to tip, you need to inform the staff before they process your payment as the card machines don't usually prompt for a tip. Alternatively, you can tip in cash. Remember, if you're not satisfied with the service or the quality of the food, you're not expected to tip. Unlike in the US, if you have a complaint, you're expected to voice it and possibly receive a discount or rectification, rather than tipping regardless. Please note that this is a general guideline and practices can vary.
