What drink do you most frequently order in bars?

[Bicoastal]

Mine's the Gin & Tonic. Simple, smooth, classy, doesn't stain, welcome on cold nights and warm afternoons alike.

[some guy]

1. Jack Daniel's and ice

I guess, if it has to be 'mixed' with something.

[mcctatas]

2. Tanqueray and tonic

or my new favorite beer

[NightWatcher]

3. "doesnt stain" sounds like a story....

do you get a lot of drinks thrown in your face?

[bigwillq]

4. Heineken

:beer:

[av8rdave]

5. Any IPA

Absent that, Sierra Nevada will do.

On rare occasions when I have a mixed drink, it's usually a gin & tonic.

[Taverner]

11. Ahhh yes..

But what do you order if the closest thing they have is "Bud light with lime"?

[av8rdave]

13. Now that's a problem

I would try to sound snooty and say I don't go to establishments where that would be the best offer, but that wouldn't be exactly true.

I would probably default to the gin & tonic at that point. I was going to say a nice glass of wine, but if their best beer is Bud light...

[Taverner]

15. Nothing wrong with some beefeater and lime

One thing I've noticed about Gin...you can drink totally crap gin and its still drinkable

I cannot say the same for any other spirit

[Alexander]

6. Long Island Iced Tea

Drink of the gods.

[darkstar3]

50. +1

And on the rare occasion I drink beer, it's Fat Tire.

[Brickbat]

7. I'm a huge G&T fan myself, when I'm not drinking beer.

As a work-at-home mom, gin is a big part of my life.

[Inchworm]

8. Black and Tans

Until I get r-u-n-n-o-f-t :)

:toast:

[hyphenate]

9. Ginger ale or Shirley Temple

I don't drink alcohol anymore, for the most part. If I do, which might be about once a year, it's usually s strawberry daiquiri or a pina colada.

[Taverner]

10. Beer, unless its Macroswill

IN which case, gin and tonic, gin and juice, or a martini. Shaken or stirred depends on my mood.

[Mugu]

12. Vodka straight up.

OK, maybe with a couple of olives and a goldfish if I'm hungry.

[gratuitous]

14. Depends

Who's buying?

[pokerfan]

16. dry martini

Three measures of Gordon's
One measure of Stolichnaya
Half a measure of Kina Lillet

Shake it very well until it's ice-cold
Large thin slice of lemon-peel for garnish

Serve in a champagne goblet:

[Deep13]

17. Coca cola. If I'm at a bar, it means I drove to get there.

At home, it's single malt Scotch.

[Brother Buzz]

18. A gin and tonic should always comes with a squeeze of lime

What is that slice doing in there? :shrug:

[Broken_Hero]

19. A Killians on tap,

if not on tap, then a bottle, if they don't have Killians I move on.

[SoxFan]

20. Bass Ale or bourbon & water

[SoxFan]

21. Bass Ale or bourbon & water

[MrSlayer]

22. Straight Captain Morgan.

No rocks, no mixer.

[murielm99]

This is the best reply on this thread.

[datasuspect]

24. vodka tonic with a lime and a miller high life

[Xipe Totec]

25. Master and Margarita

A Margarita made with vodka instead of Tequila.

An homage to Mikhail Bulgakov, author of the novel: "The Master and Margarita"

[mitchum]

26. Ginger ale

[trof]

27. Scotch on ice with a splash.

I'm a geezer.
;-)

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

28. Haven't been to a bar in ages

but a G & T with a splash of lime would be my first choice, second choice would be a Long Island Ice Tea and third choice would be a Jack and Coke.

[HopeHoops]

29. A slo comfortable screw up against the wall and between the sheets.

If you find a bartender who understands that, tip well.

[Maine-ah]

45. I am a bartender

vodka, so-co, slo gin, triple sec, & oj. Can add a float of galliano if you like :)

[HopeHoops]

47. Bingo!

[lazarus]

30. Margarita, on the rocks

not a fan of the frozen margarita, but I do love them on the rocks. Damn, now I want one.

[crim son]

31. If I know the place uses fresh juice, a greyhound.

Otherwise, either a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc.

[tango-tee]

32. Gin & Tonic.

Only a few doors down from my apartment, there is a bar and in the summertime, they set up tables outside. Sitting under one the trees on a summer late afternoon, sipping my drink and watching the world go by - heaven.

[Kali]

33. sheesh I can't even afford to drink at home

much less hang out in bars.

Beer would be the answer, with one or two exceptions. Loved the mojitos at Cushing Street in Tucson. Used to meet with some people almost weekly for about a year there. MMMMMMmmojitos.:9

[Mojambo]

34. Whiskey Sour, White Wine, or Beer. n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

35. Woodford , neat, make it a double please.

if they don't have that, Bookers. If they don't have that , Makers. If they don't have that , THEN I'll get a Jack Daniels.

[Blue_In_AK]

36. Bloody Mary

It's health food.

[Odin2005]

37. Rum-n-Coke and Colorado Bulldog.

[Lucy Goosey]

38. Gin & tonic is my favourite too...

but I also love a Greyhound, or a whisky sour.

[LeftyMom]

39. Ginger beer.

I'm usually designated driver. :shrug:

[Richard Steele]

40. Draft beer.

I'm currently so far from actual CIVILIZATION
that the best I can get is Yeungling Black-n-Tan....
As far as my wwweb-research can tell, I'm 2 States
away from the nearest draft pint of genuine room-temp Guiness.

I used to be a big Gin & tonic fan back in my twenties;
insisted upon the REAL 'tonic water' with quinine....
But I overdid it abit during a wild weekend, almost died,
and haven't been able to stand the smell of gin ever since.

[grasswire]

41. Tanqueray and Schweppes with extra lime, tall

And that tonic had better not be flat. It's not even easy to get such a simple drink well made these days. I haven't had a mixed drink in a couple of years. Oh wait. I had part of a tamarind whiskey sour last year. It was delicious.

[Iggo]

42. Seven & 7.

[Rhythm]

43. Captain & Coke...

Nice and simple.

[Lyric]

44. 151 and Coke.

Most people think it's too strong, but I like it. I also like Cherry Bombs (Red Bull and Three Olives Cherry Vodka).

:hi:

[hippywife]

46. These days if I find myself in a bar or establishment

that serves liquor, which isn't often at all, it's usually water or iced tea. :hi:

[MrScorpio]

48. Baileys

And I'm a sipper

[Xipe Totec]

49. Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet.

[JVS]

52. I prefer to drink my Ol' Janx Spirit straight.

[Maine-ah]

53. lol

it's like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick ;)

[nickinSTL]

51. a bar? people still go to those places?

I've never understood that.

Of course, I don't drink, don't smoke (not that that matters as much these days, depending on the local laws), hate loud music, and don't much like trying to socialize with people I don't know.

I'm also not single, and none of my friends care about hanging out in bars.

I think their take on it is, why go to a bar and pay 5x more for a drink we can make at home and have in a comfortable environment with people we actually like without being deafened?

[orion007]

54. Negroni, with 4 drops of Grand Marnier and a piece of burnt orange n/t

[Initech]

55. Usually beer but if the bar doesn't have any taps, I order Jack & Coke.

[mnhtnbb]

56. Classy bar: Manhattan. Sports bar: Margarita. Hole in the wall bar: bourbon & 7.

[JBoy]

57. You've got the right formula.

Needs to be a really good bar to get one of the classics done right.

[Eyerish]

58. I usually order a Long Island or a Black & Tan,

but occasionally I'll order a white russian

[PassingFair]

59. Vodka and Tonic.

It's low calorie and goes down like soda pop.

In a past life, all I drank was scotch/rocks.

I don't keep that down so well anymore.... :(

[trackfan]

60. I order different drinks at different bars/times.

When I'm at the track, I usually get a bourbon and soda; sometimes a beer. When I go out to lunch I often get 1 martini followed by a beer. If I'm drinking in the evening, after dinner, I often get a bourbon on the rocks. As a nightcap, I might get an Irish coffee. So, I guess it depends.

[SeattleGirl]

61. I don't go to bars any more, but when I did, I would usually order

a White Russian. :9

[abq e streeter]

62. Everclear and Gatorade---c'mon , somebody had to say it

[HERVEPA]

63. Margarita, rocks, salt

[redqueen]

64. Red wine.

Hardly ever go to bars but it's either that or whiskey. Or beer. Watery beer.

[supernova]

65. Classic martini

either dirty or with a twist

Equally nonstaining and an almost instance buzz before finishing my glass. And two makes me feel so 1920s Dorothy Parker decadent. :D

[TheMightyFavog]

66. Beer.

But if it's cocktails, Gin and Tonic if it's hot out, all other times, Brandy Old Fashioned Sour (Yes, I am a Wisconsinite)

[Rambis]

67. Guinness or Smithwicks
