Ep.5 – The Psychology of Ordering

In this episode of Bar Therapy, Dr. Xander Gerrymander and Dr. K go into the psychology of ordering drinks at the bar. They dive into do’s and don’ts, the helpful advice from the newcomers to the more advanced consumers, and when it is or isn’t a good time to glob your bartender with questions if you’re unsure of what you’d like. Bartenders almost always want to be helpful, and want to share their knowledge of the product with you to make sure you have the best experience, but they can’t always given bar situations. They talk about how it is in the best interest of the bartender to make sure you have the best drink experience possible, how as a consumer to help that happen and as a bartender to curate that experience as well.

Theme song “Just A Little Drink” performed by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra (1925)
