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. Ask your server what they recommend ordering if you are unsure of the drink you desire. You won't have to embarrass your server by asking for recommendations.
This involves talking with your server to tell them what type you want. One example is "I'd love a glass" of beer. Next, tell your server what beer you prefer. For example, you could say, "A Budweiser." Next, tell you server which size you desire (e.g., small medium large). After you're done, your server will give the correct price. You won't ever feel awkward!
