Granted, I'm no bartender but, I do know a few things from doing cocktails.  

At the casinos, etiquette is 20% or a little more if your barback is doing 
barback duties ONLY.  If s/he is consistently serving, taking orders, and 
building rapport with your clientele because you are busy, Vegas etiquette 
would be to pull with them (or with the one who is busting butt to make money 
for YOU).

I saw in 2Rude4MyOwnGood's reply to tip 12-15% if they do barback duties ONLY. 
 Like I mentioned before, 20% or a little more is our threshold because out 
here when you tip in that range, "word gets around" and your barbacks may not 
be there to help you out.  Think about it, they're working for tips just like 
you and I.
