Bar Etiquette: Ordering Drinks

Video Transcript

So we're going to talk about ordering drinks. You're in a busy bar, how do you get the bartender's attention without being that guy? You generally don't want to yell at the bartender, HEY or anything like that. The bartender knows you're there, good bartenders know when somebody walks through the front door, they know where they are at the bar. Be patient, we're coming. A good way to get yourself moved to the front of the line sometimes is to have your cash ready. Bartender sees you have cash, that means they don't have to go through the process of running a credit card. So show them that you have the cash, that's a good way to go. If it's busy there's a certain way you need to order your drinks. Bartender's remember a lot of drinks especially if you're ordering 5 or 6 at a time, so don't order a Budweiser, a Cranberry Vodka, Corona, Gin and Tonic and Grapefruit and Stoli. No, that's not how you do it. You want a Bud Light, a Corona, a Gin and Tonic, a Vodka Tonic and Stoli Cranberry. It's very simple. So get your thoughts in order before the bartender gets there. Don't ever turn around or the bartender is likely going to leave you. So my name is Eric Miller, today we made a Margarita, we made a White Russian, made a Lynchburg Lemonade, we went over some of our tools of the trade, went over some basic things that customers need to know, somethings that bartenders need to know and watch this video, keep it mind and good luck out there, be safe.
