In movies characters always say “ put it on my tab” and don’t pay. Do u have to have an account set up with the bar? What happens if you run a tab, order a bunch of drink and never return to that bar to pay?

Most modern tab systems open a tab with a credit card. They scan your card and let you run up charges. When the tab is closed the receipt is printed. If you don’t close your tab before the close of business the bar will likely close the tab regardless which send the charges to your credit card. Some bars even have a “gratuity” for any unclosed tabs at the end of the night as a way to hopefully remind people to close their tabs.
More local bars might allow familiar customers to open tabs and keep track simply through writing things down.
