What is a well drink in a bar, and what the difference between single and triple wells?


This bar has drink specials, quarter wells and dollar triple wells, what is a well and what is the difference between single and triple. I am new to the bar scene.

well is the cheapest liquor offered. it is what they use if you dont specify any actual brand name, it saves the rest. or bar money. A dollar triple well would mean you pay one dollar for three times as much liquor as a usual serving drink.

A well drink is made from juice/pop & alcohol that comes from a bag that is usually a no name type brand that is dispensed through a tap with a head on it that looks a bit like a gun(that's why they say it is "off the gun") They press a button on this "gun" depending on what type of alcohol was requested and a pre measured constant amount will come out every time. The quarter well and dollar tripple well just signifies how many times they hit the button to release the pre measured amount of alcohaul.

well liquor is the cheap stuff ( 5 O'clock Vodka). It is the stuff likely to get you sick. A double is usually a double shot of liquor and a triple is usually a triple shot of liquor. A drink usually has one shot of liquor and the rest is mix. As an experienced drinker I never drink well liquor and pay the extra for the top shelf stuff. I recommend this to all other bar patrons as well.

"Well" is the term used for the cheaper brands of liquors and they are found on the rail. This is what you get if you don't specify a certain brand of liquor.

A Double is double amount the alcohol and a Triple is triple the amount of alcohol in the drink.

"Calls" are the liquors on the wall. Like Grey Goose vodka, or Patron Tequila etc...etc... you literally call what you want if you want a certain brand. Like; "I want a Bacardi and Diet Coke".

If you say "Rye and ginger" you'll get whatever's on sale.that's a well drink If you say "Seagram's and ginger" then you'll get Seagrams.
