1 go drinking: This is correct. Bruno is asking Malcolm if he wants to go drinking. The expression "to get the beers in" is to order drinks (at a pub). It's mainly a British expression, and is informal. A more neutral expression would be: "Let's go and order the drinks".

1 recommend a British pub: This is incorrect. Bruno is not asking Malcolm to make a recommendation for a pub.
2 pay for drinks: This is the correct answer. Bruno is telling Malcolm that it is his turn to pay for both their drinks. A "round (of drinks)" is a drink for each person in a group. The expression "it's my round" means that it is your turn to pay for drinks for everyone in the group.
