How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
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 the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This method involves speaking with your server and telling them what type of drink you want. 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, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). Once you are done, the server will give you the correct price and you won't feel awkward ever again.
