Going to a bar might be scary, especially if it’s your first time. Some people are not sure how to act when they go to a bar for the first time.

This will allow you to get your drink(s) faster and help the line from moving forward. 2. Order your drinks all at once If you are ordering multiple drinks, order them all at once. Don’t order one drink and then wait until the bartender comes back with that drink to order the rest. This will slow down the bartender.

Don’t start waving your money, snapping your fingers, whistling or yelling at the bartender. Chances are that they already saw you, but they are first helping the customers who were ahead of you. Just continue to make eye contact with the bartender and they will get to you. 5. Don’t place the same drink order twice If you give your drink to one of the bartenders, wait until they make you the drink. Don’t go up to another bartender and give them the same order. This will result in both bartenders making the orders and now you will have to pay for double the drinks you intended on. In conclusion, when you are ordering at a bar it is important to remember that you should be ready with your drink order, order all your drinks at once, have your money ready, be patient and respectful, and don’t place the same drink order twice.
