Lesson 203--Bar Talk (Part two)


Since it is one of my most popular posts ever (it is the most viewed) I decided to do a sequel to bar talk.  This one is mostly about bar vocabulary, but I am hoping it is just as popular.

 
 
Bouncer/Doorman:  This person is in charge of letting people in, keeping people out, and asking people to leave.  They are usually quite big and muscular.  They are hired to intimidate people.

Cover charge:  This can also be called an entrance fee.  Some bar charge this because they are featuring live music or some special guest DJ.  It is called a cover charge because they have to "cover the cost of the special entertainment."

 
 
 
 
 
Proof of age:  This is also called ID (when you are older than the minimum age).  The doorman, bartender or waiter/waitress may ask to see your ID/proof of age.




Shooters:  This are small shots, or half shots.  Often they are an interesting mix of different kinds of alcohol.  These are usually a promotional item.
