How To
How to order drinks at a bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. 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. You could say, "I would like a glass beer." Next, tell the server what kind of beer it is. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
