I was a bartender and I can tell you that I have given out free drinks before but not because I was flirting or even liked the guy in anyway..honestly it's too much of a trouble for me to make you get a different card and hold up the line ups behind you. Besides if I make you happy as a customer you will be back eventually to the bar and possibly even tip me really well because I was nice to you. All in the customer service!
he was being nice. its better customer service just to give you the drink no hassle than refuse to give you the drink and leave a bad taste in your mouth
Idk. Seems like he was being nice. he could have liked you or you were taking too long. if he was cute you should have flirted. haha.
He's a bartender, he's going to make hundreds of drinks and some will probably be on a tab that doesn't get paid for immediately, in the grand scheme the bottom line isn't going to be effected by one or two free drinks as long as he doesn't make a huge habit of it. Just count it as him being nice, maybe he linked your face, or thought you looked like an honest person and gave out a no strings attached freebie.
I don't think he was hitting on you, just being nice. Maybe now you'll come back and tip a little better than you otherwise would. Unless he winked at you while he gave you the glass I wouldn't read too much into it.

It's his job to be nice to people.
When it comes to service, you should never think that those people are flirting to you.
I do it when I tend bar. Sometimes a flirt, but usually to keep a customer. I want you to return. Ideally with friends. Even your boyfriend lol
he already made the drink, its too much to bother to make you go get another card. so he was nice and gave the drink for free.
Just a guy that's good at his job.
