How To
How to Order Drinks at the Bar Without Embarrassing Yourself
There are many options for ordering drinks at your local bar. However, these methods require that you know the type of drink you want before you go to the counter. If you don't know which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. This way, you won't embarrass yourself when asking them to make recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. Perhaps you say "I'd prefer a glass," and then tell your server exactly which beer you desire. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
