In a cafe
My friends and I were sitting in a cafe. It was noisy there and the music was too loud.
A friend said, "We can transfer outside" (she is fluent in English but not a native speaker.) Is it correct to say "transfer" in this case?
What is a common way to say that?

Better would be say "Let's go out of here". It's equivalence of unformal "Пошли отсюда".

Whilst not grammatically incorrect, it is not a common use of the verb. 'Go' or 'move' are better choices, e.g., "we can go outside", or "we can move outside".

No, transfer is not grammatical here. I would just say "We can go outside".
EDIT: On second thought, saying it's "ungrammatical" is too strong. I would understand what she meant but it sounds very formal and "We can go outside" is the casual way of saying that.

Thank you for your explanation

It isn't common. Maybe you could say, "We can transfer our things to another table." But I would say, go outside, or move outside
