When a woman walks up to a bartender and orders an “angel shot,” the bartender knows it isn’t because she wants a drink. Angel shot is code a way for someone who feels unsafe to ask for help. The bartender can then help the customer to a taxi or otherwise separate her from whomever is a potential threat, be it a Tinder date, a longtime partner or a stranger in the corner.
