How to Order a Drink at a Bar

First, choose what kind of drink you want to have. Next, order the drink from your bartender using standard bar terminology. After you receive the drink, pay for it and leave a tip. If you aren’t familiar with alcohol, spend time learning about the different bar types and terminology. This will help you become more comfortable when ordering drinks.

Talking to the Bartender

1，Choose your drink. While you choose, stand away from the bar to indicate that you’re not ready to order. If the bar isn’t very busy, consider talking to the bartender for drink recommendations. If the bar is busy and you don’t know what you want:

Order a simple well drink, such as a rum and Coke.

Look at the beer taps on the wall and choose one that looks interesting.

Look at the bar menu for cocktail or wine choices.

2，Wait to be noticed. Once you’re ready to order, stand close to the bar with your hands on the counter. This will indicate that you want to order a drink. Once the bartender is ready, they will approach you and ask you for your order.

Never whistle, snap, yell, or wave money at the bartender.

3，Order your drink. Speak loudly and clearly, especially if the bar is crowded. If you’re ordering multiple drinks, order them all at the same time. If the bartender needs clarification on your order, they will say so.

“I would like a rum and Coke, please.”

4，Pay for your drinks. Once the bartender hands you your drinks, they will tell you the total. Make sure you already have your cash or credit card ready. Otherwise, you will waste time rummaging through your pockets or your purse.

If you want to keep ordering drinks, use your credit card to open a tab. Your bartender will add drinks to this tab and charge your card at the end of the night.

5，Tip your bartender. Depending on where you live, it may be appropriate to tip your bartender. You can leave a cash tip in the tip jar or write a tip on your credit card receipt.

In the US, you should leave 10%-20% of the bill total as a tip.

In France, the service charge is included in the bill.

In Brazil, tips are not expected but they are appreciated. Consider tipping 10% of the bill total.
