Its been a long time since I worked in a bar, but in the front-of-house we used a three-sink station where the sinks were: soap, water, sanitizing-solution. Then you sit the glasses to drip-dry.

Actually here is a link explaining it: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/article/620/three-compartme...

I've seen something like this in the Netherlands, although even more disgusting: They take the used glass, dunk it in a bucket that has brushes all around and in the middle and is full of soapwater, rotate the glass three times against the glass, take it out, and pour the beer in the glass.

Yes, the glass's sides are still full of the disgusting soapwater from the bucket that's now basically 95% other people's drink dregs.

People in the UK bery often do the whole "washing dishes in the bucket" thing which is ridiculous

I certainly won't be first in line for that beer, but I'd wager that from a hygiene perspective they're cleaner than the door. It takes surprisingly little to sanitize dishes; that 3 part system is basically lightly scrubbing twice, and then either using a sanitizer or 30 seconds or more in water over 171F.

From a health perspective, I'd be more worried about the leftover sanitizer in the water in the glass. Bleach is pretty common, and it's honestly a tossup whether I'd rather drink someone else's dregs or bleach. It's probably the dregs, I'll take a stomach flu over melting my stomach lining with chronic low-grade bleach exposure.

I'm fairly sure it's just dish soap in there, so it's not really a risk. Disgusting, though.
