Once in a German bar...

It's Friday, so we have prepared for you some important phrases and expressions for such an occasion

The key to a good night out is having a reservation in advance:
Kann ich einen Tisch reservieren, bitte? - Can I reserve a table?
Wir sind zu zweit/dritt/viert. - There are two/three/four of us.
Könnten wir den Tisch am Fenster haben? - Is it possible to reserve a table by the window?

Ask for a menu and choose the right drink or dish:
Darf ich bitte die Karte sehen? - Can I see the menu?
Ich möchte jetzt bestellen. - I would like to place an order.
Ich möchte/hätte gerne... - I would like...

Now let's break down the drinks. How do you describe the "Friday" order you need?
The Germans' favorite drink is das Bier, it can be helles (light) or dunkles (dark).
Then comes der Wein. You can choose between Rotwein, Weißwein, der Sekt (sparkling wine). Also the wine can be trocken (dry) and lieblich (semi-sweet).
If it's Christmas, you can enjoy Glühwein - mulled wine.
Stronger drinks: der Wodka, der Whiskey, der Brandy (need translation?), der Bourbon, der Gin, der Likör, der Rum, der Schnaps, der Martini and der Cognac.
