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. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. 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!
