How To
How to Order Drinks at the Bar Without Embarrassing Yourself
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to 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 embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. 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). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
