How To
How to Order Drinks at The Bar without Being Embarrassed
There are many ways to order drinks at the local bar, but these methods require you to know what kind of drink you want before you go up 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 be embarrassed when they make recommendations.
This involves talking to your server and telling him/her what kind of drink you would like. 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). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
