Does “I’ll buy rounds” mean the same?
Or you just pay for the people with you (your friends)?
Let me know.
Thank you.
I would add that it's not common to buy rounds in a restaurant. This is the kind of thing you do in a bar or a pub, not when you're sitting down for a meal. Even if you have a meal in a pub you might pay for rounds before, then eat, pay the bill for the food and drinks consumed at the meal and then possibly go back to buying rounds after the meal. Or you will simply put everything on one 'tab' or bill and one person will pay, or you will split the bill/
