How to unlock the Saloon Master achievement in Root Beer Tapper - Definitive Guide
My goal to get this achievement was to set up a pattern to be able to easily serve customers so they left the bar quickly. The customer at the bottom takes the longest to get to the serving end of the bar, so I wanted to keep him at the bar forever. So, I served the second customer from the bottom, then the third from the bottom, then the top customer. That cleared those three customers and allowed me to work with the bottom customer. Serve him, but only hafter he has moved close enough that you won't serve him out of the bar. Get the glass, and serve him again when you won't push him out of the bar. The second time you serve him, you'll get a tip, so go down the bar and get the tip.
Now that you have the tip, you can start your pattern. Serve the second customer from the bottom off the screen, then the third from the bottom, then the top customer. Again, go down to the bottom customer and serve him, but don't serve him out of the bar. I always run down the bar to get the glass (immediately after serving... you can always stand next to the customer and wait). I do that because when you run down to get the glass, you can easily push UP to move to the next bar (you don't need to move back to the right before moving up). By getting the glass quickly, you won't have to worry about going back to catch the glass while you're pushing the other three off the bar.
Rinse and repeat. Keep the bottom customer at the bar, and serve the next three off in order. Once you break about 6000 points, they really move quickly. If you keep the pattern going, you'll have a good chance at getting 7000. It took me about 30 attempts to get this one.

I recently got this achievement after probably about 15 tries. Just like SwamiMacGyver says in the other solution, KEEP THE BOTTOM GUY IN THE BAR! Now you don't have to get the 7,000 points before you complete the level, I got around 6,000 or 6,200 points and i ended the game by serving all four customers out of the bar. Don't try and get to 7,000 before ending the game, it just makes it harder for you to get it. Oh, and make sure that if you end the game before 7,000 points, you have to serve all four customers out in order to get the rest of the points, you cant just get rid of the bottom guy and hope to get it. Good Luck!
When level 1 of the Saloon starts, go to the top guy and serve him out of the bar. Work your way down serving patrons out of the bar, except for the last guy on the bottom of the screen. You want to wait a little bit before serving him, so that you don't serve him out. Hold back a bit and serve him a beer (erm, root beer) just enough so that he stays indoors. When the top customer comes back to the top, hit down on your analog stick to automatically place your character back at the top and repeat the process of serving people out of the bar from top down except the last guy.
They will get faster, so just remain calm and focused. This was pretty hard for me, not gonna lie.
*Hint: Toward the beginning of the level, the bottom guy will leave a tip that's worth 1500 points.
Grab it for a big point boost!
Keep repeating this process until you reach 6,000 points. At 6,000 points, start serving everyone out of the bar, including the last guy on the bottom, to end the level. You will get 1,000 points for ending the level, putting you past the 7,000 point mark for the Saloon Master achievement.

Kind of tricky, but use this pattern and you should get it after a few tries: Knock out rows 1-3 and wait for row 4 to get halfway, knocking him back but not out, rush to get his glass and the tip he leaves. Let him continue up and wait for rows 1-3 to come back, then knock them out as soon as they appear and knock row 4 back again. It gets faster and faster, but just keep repeating this until you have over 6,000 points and quickly knock everyone out of the bar. You get 1,000 points for clearing the level, so that will put you over the mark.
