I was offended to see how a bunch of youngsters sitting next to our table, were behaving in a bar I visited recently. It was clear that they have never heard of the term ‘etiquettes’ which is clearly something they didn’t have that time. Just as we abide by a certain set of etiquettes in a restaurant, we should do the same when we are in a bar! I was disgusted the way the group was behaving and surprisingly, it was one of the most reputed bars in Mumbai, and this kind of a crowd and behaviour is definitely not welcome.
In case, you are planning to go out for a drink, and you are unsure of how you should go about it, kindly look at the following etiquettes so that you don’t create a nuisance for the guests and the bar authorities:
Address the bartender/waiter properly
“Tch, tch” is certainly not how you should call your server. Do not ever call your bartender in an inappropriate way. If you are not sure what to address him as, be polite enough to say hey, or hello. The group in I was talking about was offensive the way they were calling the servers and also, they were extremely impatient when they didn’t respond right away. Give them some time- may be they are attending someone. It’s their job, and they would come to you. You could breathe for a few seconds in between!
Know your drinks well
You have zero knowledge about drinks and here you are, seated in one of the best bar and restaurants in Mumbai! You end up making fun of yourself and your company, and irritate everyone around. You call the waiter and run through the menu and asking what is what, is a strict NO. Sure you can ask for suggestions, but not the components of a drink and that would it make you high or not. Be definite about your order and minimize the time waste, as there are other people who need to be attended as well.
No drama please
We get it you have had a break up but we do not want you to hear uttering cuss words about your ex --- well, yes, at the top of your voice! Do not drink more than you can handle, because remember, it is a public place? If you know you have the chances of throwing up, DO NOT drink that much! Simple! Enjoy, and let others do the same!
