How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
