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. You can ask your server to recommend what kind of drink you would like. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. 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!
