How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
Although there are many ways to order drinks at a local bar, you need to be able to identify the drink you desire before you approach the counter. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. One example is "I'd love a glass" of beer. Next, tell your server what beer you prefer. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
