The trick to ordering a drink in a crowded bar? Make it as easy on the bartender as possible.
You Will Need
- Cash or a credit card
- A drink in mind, and a second choice
Step 1: Decide what you want
Decide what you want before you approach the bartender. Many places have drinks menus on the bar or posted behind it.
Step 2: Smile & be polite
Smile and be polite, even if it takes the bartender a while to get to you.
Don’t shout “Yo,” wave your arms wildly, or snap your fingers—or you might just find that you’ve become invisible.
Step 3: Have cash/credit card ready
Have your cash or credit card ready when you order.
Be specific about which brand of alcohol or kind of wine you want—unless you don’t mind being served the lower quality “well” liquor and “house” wine.
Step 4: Choose fallback drink
Have a fallback drink in mind, especially if your beverage of choice is obscure or complicated.
Step 5: Ordering a round
If you’re ordering a round, enlist one of your friends to help you carry the drinks.
Step 6: Tip generously
Pay promptly and tip generously. If you’re a pleasant customer, maybe your next drink will be on the house!
Vodka is the spirit of choice, accounting for 27% of all liquor sales.
