Likewise. Though if the bartender is a real jerk, I usually give a buck for every other beer.

Buck a drink, always.  And if I order a bunch, I don't short the tip...

Always $1/drink. But if the bartender hooks me up like the Black Cat bartender with a tall strong drink, I'll tip more since I won't have to come back to the bar as often as I normally would.

I always tip $1 a drink
 
  if the bartender sucks, that $1 is in the form of a loonie.

$1 per drink, even in bad service.  Been there done that, and most times it's not the bartenders fault.
 
 More if I get amazing service or if she's a hot bartender.

i must admit, i practice the "law of diminishing tips" at times. for example:
 
 1 drink - $1
 2 drinks - $2
 if 3 drinks comes to $17.50...i'll drop the $20 and clear out of there.

same thing but pertaining to cabfare:
 
 DC cabs went up again. $9.10 is the price now for 1 passenger and 2 zones travelled.
 
 do you give $11 or leave a $.90 tip?

i admit to it too, but partly cause i am a cheap canadian.
 
  generally i run tabs though, as its just easier.
   
  and then do a 20-25%

Easiest way for you to take care of your bartender and get good service AND get remembered the next time is to start a tab and get the bartender's name. Please and thank you also are notable.
