How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many ways to order drinks at the local bar, but these methods require you to know what kind of drink you want before you go up to the counter. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their recommendations.
This is where you speak with your server, and tell them what kind of drink that you desire. 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). When you're done, he/she will give you the correct price, and you'll never feel awkward again!
