Post Malone Leaves Massive Tip At Arizona Dive Bar: “15 People On Staff & Everyone Can Pay Their Bills This Month”
Post Malone might be the most prolific tipper of the celebrity community.
It’s always great to hear stories of celebrities and artists participating in random acts of kindness. The latest example we have is out Phoenix, Arizona, where a dive bar got the surprise visit – and tip – of a lifetime. Post Malone had wrapped up his 2o25 Big A** Stadium Tour stop at State Farm Stadium when, sometime during the night, the artist decided he could use a nightcap.
So late Saturday night (or Sunday morning rather) around 1 a.m., Post Malone came strolling into Gracie’s Tax Bar. The place was already close to capacity, and the place flooded with even more energy when the “I Had Some Help” singer swung open the door. I’d imagine a lot of people had to do a double take, or ask their more-sober friend if they were also seeing what they were seeing.
Sure enough, it was Post Malone, and he quickly became a man of the people. Chris Banks, a bartender at the popular Phoenix dive bar, was truly impressed with how the pop-star-turned-country-artist handled himself, snapping pictures and taking time to talk with anyone who approached him. Banks told 12 News:
“Just to see how he moved and interacted with everyone was honestly impressive. He talked to every single person that walked up to him, and entertained everybody. He was taking pictures and never seemed fazed or annoyed by it. It meant the world honestly.”
Grace Perry, the bar’s owner, also had nothing but great things to say about Posty. She couldn’t get over how generous Post Malone was – both with his time and his money. The way he carried himself while at her bar apparently made Grace Perry a fan of his for life:
“It just was really nice to see him treating humans like humans. I’m just happy that it was such a positive experience for everybody. I just was so impressed at how respectful he was at this space and generous towards my staff and you know, you don’t see that every day. So that really just kind of made me, who didn’t know Post Malone that well at all now a Post Malone fan.”
Obviously, the surprise appearance and presence of Post Malone would have been enough on its own to make the day memorable – but the “Pour Me A Drink” singer had one more trick up his sleeve. Once he had closed out the bar (at 2 a.m.) with the rest of the bar goers, Malone went to pay for his bill, and left a substantial tip.
Bartender Chris Banks didn’t want to share just how much the amount of money Post Malone gifted the staff was, but he did reveal that the tip left by the F-1 Trillion artist was going to be very helpful to those who were working that night:
“I don’t want to throw out a figure, but I will say that there were about 15 people on staff that night, and everyone can pay their bills this month.”

Post Malone is clearly one of the best in the business.
Story after story paints Post Malone as a stand-up, world-class, nice-as-can-be individual. He truly seems to be a light wherever he goes, and social media users were loving that he once again showed off his generosity:
“Post Malone genuinely seems like the ONE person who deserves his fame and success. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a story of him treating someone bad.”
“That’s so awesome! I love Post Malone.”
“He seems like a genuinely good dude.”
“Post Malone is an awesome guy! One famous person actually worth meeting!”
“It makes you wonder what he was like Pre Malone.”
Only included that last one because I’m a sucker for a good pun.
And in case I wasn’t clear, that’s not the first time that the country/pop star changed someone’s life through generous giving. Last December, Post Malone visited a Houston, Texas restaurant called The Railyard on Christmas Eve and tipped a bartender there by the name of Renee Brown $20,000. He also stopped by a yet-to-open Pizza Hut in Utah earlier this year, hung out with workers there, and then left them a hefty tip for opening up the store a little early.
