Many may not as a goodwill gesture but they dont have to supply it free. the water costs them, the glass is supplied by them and cleaned, its poured by a member of staff so it costs the restaurant to provide it

i think it depends where you live i dont think london can drink tapwater ones i know drink bottled, come to wales and drink from the tap i think its all down to where your supplies come from , i am not being a bigot saying that just from what i know i have family in cornwall and remember the problems they had ,the council was giving them free bottled water because there tap water was contaminated
Geography is relevant to the answer.
It is a legal requirement in Scotland that "Tap water fit for drinking must be provided free of charge on request" on premises with a licence that authorises the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises.

Tap water is not free. Bars, clubs restaurants are all on a water meter. That means they are charged, therefore you can be. If they serve alcohol then they should all have a licence.
Only if the customer buys a drink then they can have free tap water if they have this facility by law. If it warm then ask them to out ice in.
If you don’t buy anything, then you’re not a customer, you’re a waste of space and should go bother someone else.
