System
There is no definite rule or regulation but you can remember several general information about the payment. If you can be seated to the table, it would be similar to the system of restaurant, while if at the counter, you need to pay per order including tips. The most of bars or clubs will be closed at 4:00 a.m. so that you should keep your saftey to go back to your hotel by yourself. If you can hail a taxi, I will recommend you to take a taxi to your hotel, anyway.
