How To
How to order drinks from 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. If you don’t know the type of drink that you want, ask your server for their recommendations. This way you won't be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This is where you speak with your server, and tell them what kind of drink that you desire. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. For example, if you wanted Budweiser, you could say "a Budweiser." Next, tell your server what size you want (e.g., small, medium, large). You'll never feel awkward again after you have finished.
