First Timer into a bar?

Question

This will be my first time in bar, there's one thing that's been nagging me. I am used to see the bar only from movies, and I really wonder how people know about the price of a certain cocktail or drinks that they order.

is there usually a price list plastered somewhere ? or must I ready to spend a large number of cash since I've no idea how much long island or mojito should cost? would it be strange to ask the bartender for the price each time I want to order a drink?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can always ask or depending on where you go, there will be a drink menu with prices.

Answer 2

some bars have price lists for wine, beer and martinis.  some don't.  beer is usually the cheapest especially if you get a domestic beer.  bartenders are usually most helpful at telling you the price should you want to ask them.  just make sure you don't forget to tip for good service!!!

Answer 3

Just ask.  Most bartenders are extremely nice and humble people that would be happy to answer any questions you have.

Answer 4

There is usually a standard drink price per cocktail and bar brand beers or imports etc with some exceptions ofcourse, so dont be shy to ask the bartender they are there to help.
