Or you could just order a beer and have more enjoyment without the snobbery
ReplyDeleteOr better yet, drink alone. With nobody else.
DeleteWorks for me and George. And it's a heckuva lot cheaper than overpriced bars, where nothing good ever happens.
Excellent advice, Anon 7:14 and Elmo. Bars are for socializing and trying to get laid. Give me a cigar, a bottle of Tullamore Dew, and a beer chaser on the back porch where I can relax and contemplate my place in the universe.
DeleteI used to say, gimme a bud with a double jack back.
ReplyDelete"A shot of Turkey straight up." Used to cover it for me.
ReplyDeleteIf she's getting 1.5 oz shots she must annoy her bartenders as much as she annoys me. Or maybe she doesn't tip?
ReplyDeleteShe didn't include the universal advice to a) know what you want when the bartender asks for your order, or b) call for the liquor first, then the mixer. This is basic dude stuff.
Pretty good info except for the "well" description. I have found that if you do not specify the brand of liquor in a mixed drink, they will use top shelf and charge accordingly.
ReplyDeleteWhat to fuck !!
ReplyDeleteYou drinkin or tryin to climb the social ladder?
If the bartender is a she, and is Hott, just order a Sheep Herders Special.
