This isn\u2019t the Continent. It\u2019s not the United States. It\u2019s Great Britain. <strong>Here you order at the bar.<\/strong> There are a few exceptions to this rule, particularly in Northern Ireland, but if you want a drink at a pub\u2014and that\u2019s why you\u2019re here, right?\u2014<strong>then march yourself up to the bar and order from the bartender<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a benefit to the drinker, actually. It means that if you want another drink, you need not wait for the busy server to come around. Instead, you can make a beeline for the bar and get your own drink when you want it.<strong> It also allows you to practice that other British-drinking tradition: taking turn buying rounds (See rule #1 for a refresher).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traveler&#8217;s tip<\/strong>: If you want a quick and efficient introduction to English pub rules, consider signing up for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/london-tours\/historic-pubs-food-tour\/\">our London\u2019s Historic Pubs Food Tour<\/a><\/strong>.

Saying you\u2019d like a \u201cbeer\u201d would be like ordering a \u201cpasta\u201d at an Italian restaurant, a \u201csausage\u201d in a German beer hall, or a \u201cglass of wine\u201d at a tapas bar in Rioja.\u00a0There are varieties and try to get a sense of what you want before ordering a \u201cpint\u201d (the proper terminology when ordering a beer in Britain). If you still don\u2019t know what beer brand you want, you can ask for a lager, pale ale, bitter, stout, or porter, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: if a pint of Guinness is part of your order, request it first: the two-part pour that involves Guinness is time consuming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traveler&#8217;s tip<\/strong>: Headed to London and want to find the most historic pubs in town?
