(a pint is closer to half a litre but I don’t want to be that pedantic)

“Lets go down to the pub to have a liter.”

True “Lets go down to the pub for a 500 milliliter.” might actually be funnier.

“for a half-liter” or “halfa’-liter” don’t sound too bad actually

In (southern?) Germany (and other German speaking countries), we call it “Halbes”, which is just “half”. “Let’s head down to the pub for a couple halves” would work quite well.

In South Australia (it varies by state and it’s a whole shamozzle) we call them pints even though they aren’t “pint” sized. It’s just a word for “the big one”. And if they sell imperial pints, they will suggest it.
But you can just say “go for a drink”
