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 which drink you want, you can ask your server what order they would recommend. You won't have any embarrassment asking for their recommendations.
This is done by speaking to your server and telling her what type of drink it is. You might say something like, "I'd like a glass of beer." Then tell him/her exactly what kind of beer you want. You could, for instance, say that you would like Budweiser. Next, tell the server how big you'd like it to be (e.g. medium, large). You will never feel awkward again once you are done.
