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 which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. 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. 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. 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 will never feel awkward again once you are done.
