Do you tip bartenders in Indonesia?

Short answer

Rp 10,000–20,000 per round

10,000–20,000 rupiah a round, or round up.

OptionalCash preferred

Beach clubs and hotel bars add a service charge, so nothing extra is needed there. At an independent bar, rounding up or leaving a 10,000–20,000 note per round is generous.

Cash or card?

Card terminals rarely have a tip option. Tip in cash rupiah; small notes are far more useful than large ones.
