How do you ask for a drink in Barcelona?

In Spain, there's no need for formalities. While it may be basic instinct to order with a polite I'll have a…, you can directly use a Spanish command instead. Ask and you shall receive. For example: Ponme una caña — Get me a small draft beer (more on ordering beer in a bit!).



People Also Ask

In Spain, you can simply say la cuenta, por favor (the check, please) when you catch your server's attention. Another common phrase many locals use is ¿Nos cobras cuando puedas? (literally Can you charge us when you can?). Either one is a perfectly fine way to ask your server to bring the bill.
