This is probably just me, but I don't think the bartender is qualified to dispense deep and profound advice.

She didn't give him advice; she just asked him a question. He put it together on his own.

She's also proven that she isn't a very good listener.

How so? in one carefully aimed question, she got to the heart of the matter. And the real problem was not simply that Clinton was wrong about why he was angry; it was that he was so blinded by his disappointment at rejection (and maybe embarrassment because it was rather public) that he hadn't the perspective to step back and consider whether what Claire did was really right or wrong (a bit of both, it seems to me: good intentions, poorly executed)
Whatever Clinton's answer might have been, forcing him to think through an alternative scenario gave him a new perspective on what happened. Also he's learned that in the future he may have to face the discomfort of rejection without anyone to blame for it.
I'm starting to like Bar lady's 'rough diamond' character.
Dust:
He also had to raise his voice and begin storming out before being heard out and getting the drink he initially ordered, so I don't know if she's the best anger-management advocate. (With or without the harpoon japery.)

There is also an existing cocktail with that name and appearance; it's vodka, lime, Blue curacao and triple sec. Or apparently gin, in the case of #3071.
Speaking of Cocktails, poor D.J. Barry prob had one too many Blue Dolphin (v similar to Windex) ...
