How To
How to order drinks at the bar without embarrassing yourself
There are many ways you can order drinks at your local pub, but you must know what type of drink it is before you go up to the bar. If you don't know what drink you want, then you should ask your server how they would recommend ordering it. 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. It might sound like this: "I'd like to have a glass of beer." Next, tell your server exactly what type of beer you would like. For example, if Budweiser is what you are looking for, you could say "a Budweiser." Next you will tell your server the size of beer you want (e.g. large, medium or large). Once you are done, the server will give you the correct price and you won't feel awkward ever again.
