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 what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. This will ensure that you don't feel embarrassed asking your server for suggestions.

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. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
