When a person goes to a bar or a club, how do they know what alcoholic drink to get?

Question

When I go 2 a bar or a club I don't see the names of drinks anywhere

Answer 1

Tell the bartender a couple of flavors you like and ask for a suggestion.  Remember to tip ;)

Answer 2

Most people order what they think is fashionable or what they think is "cool".

Answer 3

I used to feel really weird when I first started going to clubs and drinking because I wanted to see a menu or prices. But after a while you figure out what you like or dont like and what those drinks tend to cost.

Back when I used to drink I would go to different types of bars with different types of people. At the dive bars or sports bars I usually just asked what kind of beer they had on draft. A cold beer was usually my preference but after hitting a few trendy spots and being told "the don't DO beer" I started to rely on whiskey over ice as my backup or ask if there were any specials for that night.

Friends of mine would encourage me to try something new especially if a bartender had a reputation for making a good drink- Ive noticed some places can do a great tequila sunrise and others just make it taste terrible. If you arent out with a group of friends take a good look around and see what people have in their hands as a good sign of whats good or cheap to drink that night.

Always bring enough money. At one place they might only charge 2 dollars for a mixed drink while at another place it can be up to 12 bucks. It all depends on the quality of liquor and whether it is top shelf (meaning more expensive). Be generous with your tip the first round.

Answer 4

I always order the same thing every time i go out...normally its a jagerbomb or ameretta sour...my faves!

Answer 5

you order ur favorite drinks.

Answer 6

most people know what they want before they go to the bar.If you are unsure maybe try mixing drinks at home first or if you really want to be savvy,pick up a bartenders guide and read up on different drinks.The best way is for you to just try something or ask a friend.

When I use to go to bars,I took a friend once who had never been to a bar (she just turned 21) but she knew she didn't like the flavor of alcohol or any beer flavors.So she just told the bartender that she wanted a drink that would be fruity and wouldn't taste like alcohol...so he mixed her a watermelon kamakazi and she loved it.Just ask the bartender,tell him what kinda flavors you like and most of the time if he/she is a real true bartender,they will mix you something up.

Answer 7

Well usually, one orders their favourite drink, it is a personal preference.  It is not like in a restaurant where you are given a menu, you just know what you want to drink.  If you are unsure, then ask a friend sitting at the same table.
