Can someone please explain clearly how you actually order a drink at a bar? I’m scared to go to one because I feel as though I’ll be humiliated by everyone for not knowing the terminology that they use.

What is “on tap”? What is “on the rocks”? Can I just say “one beer please”? What’s the difference between beer, liquor, vodka, alcohol, mixed drinks etc.? Do you pay right then and there or do you put it on a “tab”? What if you say “put it on my tab” but then you just get the drink and leave?

Can someone please explain to me how to order a burger at a steakhouse? I'm scared to go to one because I feel as though I'll be humiliated by everyone for not knowing the terminology that they use.

What is "grilled"? What is "medium rare"? Can I just say "one burger please"? What's the difference between ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc?

Fuck it, I don't know why I'm doing this. But here you go.

1. On tap means what beer is well, in a tap.

2. On the rocks means ice in your drink.

3. One beer might not cure your obvious agoraphobia. Stick to the shots, it'll do the trick faster.

4. Alcohol percentage.

5 and 6. I'd suggest paying your tab, I've skipped out on tabs a few times, but honestly, don't be a fuckhead and just pay the poor bastard.

Godspeed.

I'm going to assume you aren't baiting for the sake of possibly helping someone this bad at how to into bars.
>on tap
Most bars will have beers on tap in chilled pressurized kegs. These come out of the pull handles behind the bar. They're typically domestic brews if you're in a dive (shitty) bar, but nicer establishments will have a wider variety on tap. This will usually come in a 16oz glass, as opposed to a 12oz bottle or can.
Most bars also have bottles if you prefer them.
>on the rocks
This just refers to straight liquor on ice. The rocks are ice.
>one beer please
Of course you can ask for "one beer please". They will often ask you what kind you want, so don't sperg out. Even if you feel your spaghetti coming on, just ask them what they'd recommend. Or "I don't know, do you have a beer menu?"
>put it on my tab
When you order your first drink they will ask you if you would like to start a tab. Nearly everywhere will ask for your ID or for your credit/debit card to hold onto so that you don't walk out on your tab. Walking out on your tab is what you described.
Lets review
>on tap
they have it there in a keg and will serve it in a glass.
>on the rocks
on ice.
>put it on my tab
Don't pay for your drink and tip immediately, leave them with your card to accumulate drinks and pay/tip when you're leaving.
There you go, anon. I truly hope you were baiting, but if you weren't, then cheers m80.

grilled is... cooked on a grill, yunno. It has crsipy black lines on it.

Rare=more pink, well done=no pink, and all the way in between.

The menu says whats on the different burgers. Just let me know if you want to leave something off or add it.

Heres a shot of house whiskey on me, might help you relax a bit. All friends here.

>>11597463
well what kind?

>> No.11597502

>>11597427
I missed that one part. Liquor is typically 80 proof, or 40% alcohol by volume. Beer usually hovers between 3.5%-8% depending on what you like. Mixed drinks are somewhere in the middle.
Just figure out what you like. If you don't have a lot of experience drinking in public, just stick to beer. Mixed drinks can tend to creep up on you because they're so sweet usually, and probably 7/10 adults I know just downright can't hold their liquor.
Assuming you're a man, nobody is going to be sympathetic if you throw up on a bar floor, let alone a pool table.
Godspeed you sweet, autismo, wannabe drunkard anon.

>> No.11597513

>>11597486
To add to this, if you explain you're a raging autist and haven't been to a bar or tried much alcohol, they'll typically serve you a free sample of whatever you want on tap. The beer pours out of the dispenser device. They can point you in the right direction for mixed drinks that don't taste too alcoholic too.

*don't pay for your drink OR tip immediately
That read a little wrong. Don't tip them every time you get a new drink. Tip at the end.

I don't really drink at bars, but if I do I will order a long island iced tea, or if the bartender is a lady I use my cult leader tier charisma and offer to buy her a drink (vodka cranberry, vodka something) if she mixes mine stiff.
I don't bother with clubs or anything where it's too loud to really talk to a bartender.
If someone else is buying I just make it easy and get whatever they're having.

It's not food related, but I'm wondering what's up with you. Do you smoke or shoot pool? Both of those things are god tier for socializing if you're out drinking anyways.
I wouldn't say START smoking to make friends, though. You said you want to meet people your age. You aren't over 30, are you?

You'll make it. The bartenders are there to make you feel more comfortable, believe it or not. They don't mind casual conversation if you need to warm up or something. Just mention that you're new to the area, ask how's it going, where ya from, etc.
If you see three people awkwardly shooting pool and you can muster up the courage, ask them if they could use a fourth.
Introduce yourself and mention that you could use some practice (everybody agrees that they're not that good). Remember names as best you can, and shoot ONE game.
End things off by saying "Thank you guys that was fun. I'm going to go have a seat at the bar for a bit, if you'd like to shoot another game, then you know where to find me."
wa-la
It might be weird at first, but the more you do it the more natural and easily it'll come to you.

There's a difference between obnoxiously hitting on someone and offering to buy them a drink in exchange for better service at a place where they're known to drink on the job.

I don't think this is that autistic.
But then again whenever I go anywhere with my girlfriend, friends, or family I always take my own car (and make sure anyone that rides with me has room in another car) so that at any point I can leave on my own if I feel like it.
I've only ever just straight up peaced out a handful of times (out of the hundreds this has happened), but I still do it all the time.
Is... Is that autistic? I just know what I like, and don't like relying on others, or possibly be a nuisance.
