How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
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 what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This is where you speak with your server, and tell them what kind of drink that you desire. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
