Oh yes. DuckDuck every time.

Plus only log in with real details to any site when you need to, and then log out again. Better to use an anonymous account if you can. If you do use a real account (one that means they can get money off you if they steal the credentials) then don't save them in the browser.

Use Adblock Plus and No Script, and delete ALL your cookies on exit. Then make sure you exit the browser at least once per day.

None of the above guarantees security, but at least you can make it a little harder for the bar stewards to get anything useful off you.
