However, I received a large glass of rum filled to the very top (~6 ounches / 180ml) and a glass of coke filled to the very top.
My first thought was "what the heck
", but I´m wondering: Is there any place in the world where this would have been the standard?
There was a bar in Austin (Bar Fly... not sure if it still exists) but it was great because I would order a rum and coke and they would give you a glass of rum with a splash of Coke, so you know you were getting your money's worth. I think the bartender was the owner so he was a little more liberal with his measurements, plus I recall the prices being reasonable.
