Doubly obscure topic
I interpreted it differently, and I realized it once the answer was provided.
It is a meta joke, but I thought she was using the word entendre for martini. So she asked wrong.
I figured the bartender took her literally, and put a joke note (a double entendre) in a glass and then gave it to her.

The play is on the word "double" ... as in asking a bartender for a "double scotch" or whatever. She asked for a "double entendre", as though that were a kind of drink.
So in this context, the phrase "double entendre" is itself a double entendre ... does that make it a "quadruple entendre"?

This may be sampling bias, and may be culturally determined, so I'd
like to know, if anyone cares to respond, whether this is funny to you
or not.
"A woman walks into a bar and asks the barman for a double entendre.
So he gives her one"
Right. That's it. Any responses gratefully received.
OOOH and if it has been explained to you, that doesn't count!!
I got it
There is a drink called a 'double entendre'. It is named for the expression describing a phrase that sounds innocent, but can have a naughty adult second meaning.
The woman asked for the drink, and in the last line was the real double entendre (in the second usage) when he 'gives her one'

Could I be so bold as to ask if you are an NT? Please don't feel the need to reply if you don't want to

She asks for a double (= two in one glass) She got one (one). It's a joke about how you can get what you asked for but in an other sense it's wrong.
It usually results in a brief smile.
Ohhh... That way...
No, I didn't get it before I've read this.
I was just thinking: "Is this one of these sex-jokes again?"
