What do u guys think?
You're right, you should tip. Those tips are still spread among the waitstaff.

I don't go to bars often, but when I do its generally somewhere boujee-ish on a date or something, so I follow the same rules I follow at restaurants:

$3 minimum for tips, if I spend $6 they get a 50% tip, $9 33.3% tip, $12 25% tip and so on.

Over $12 it is dependent on service, for great service I'll do 30%, something less I might go 18-20% at worst.

To be honest, in my adult life I've only had a bad server once. I'm always nice to the hosts/servers and they're always nice back.

I think tipping is an archaic thing and servers should be paid a livable wage, that said, so long as they are not and I can afford to eat out I'm going to tip well.
