As each fresh glass of beer is poured, a meter embedded in the table registers the amount and the charge for each ounce, which depends on the brand of beer.

That's... a good idea.

Dude, Lexington isn't that far away

Sounds like a pour idea...

imaceac 2009-03-15 12:40:03 AM  
as i suspected...too good to be true..all the usual rules apply...but 17cents an ounce is decent.....

 
PantsPie 2009-03-15 12:40:06 AM  
As someone who is currently too drunk to be on the internets, this sounds like an amazing idea. And to think I had to keep going to the bar to get pitchers tonight.

In Virginia, that guy would be on death row next week. People might have too much fun.

/Would depend on the type of beer whether I'd be interested

FTFA: Beer can be added by telling the server who brings chilled glasses to the table periodically.

You have to use glasses? Just put a pillow under the tap and let me lay back on the table and enjoy the game.

 
TheFarkPrince 2009-03-15 12:50:12 AM  
As a bartender, I don't know if I like this. It could put me out of work, or at least severely cut my tips. As a customer I like it, especially when the cocktail waitress is being too lazy to keep up with my pace.

Installing that many TVs in the ceiling got in that darn cats way. Sorry.

My thoughts exactly. I have also had nothing but bad experiences with this place, the pinnacle being an overserved sketchy guy chasing my friends and I for several blocks after we took offense at him plopping down at out table and threatening us out of the blue.

FTFM

I just finished helping a buddy build his keg-a-rator which is kind of like this.

OK not really, but he makes great beer and doesn't charge for it so I'm good.

Why would the owner think it's bad that he has a customer who is there buying his merchandise all the time?

 
HowAboutNo 2009-03-15 01:40:14 AM  
Finally, a beer idea that all beer snobs can agree upon!

/mmmm, beeeer

Sounds like someone could use a self-serve beer.

 
starsrift 2009-03-15 02:18:38 AM  
Fantastic. Now there's no bartender to cut you off when you've had too much.

Lawsuitilarity will ensue.

 
Vio 2009-03-15 02:22:08 AM  
I think this is a most excellent idea!

 
joshua4 2009-03-15 02:24:56 AM  
This sounds like a good idea... but I wonder. Good luck ever getting a freaking table if people never have to get up. Especially when they pass out on it

BTW here is the system they installed

imaceac: but 17cents an ounce is decent.....

Twice the price of drinking at home, but quite reasonable for a bar. I usually drink at home.

The other day I was having my car worked on and there was a bar next door to the shop. So, with some time to kill, I moseyed on over and ordered a double J&B Scotch. Then, because the car was taking a while, I had another. The bill was $24 plus a tip. I paid it, of course, but I was super pissed off at myself for having done that. At any liquor store I could have bought a whole bottle for that price, maybe less.

Plus, the only entertainment I got was a TV with girls' college basketball, and no volume. They played '80 music over it.

not a big beer drinker but this idea i like. people will have to learn how to avoid pouring all head.

 
StinkyPinky 2009-03-15 03:13:57 AM  
Honestly, sounds like a good idea for sports bars. Time the drink specials for when the yellow flag is out on NASCAR.

That is what "Bleachers" did in my town.

Read that as "on head" and thought, "yes, yes they will."

17 cents an ounce.

1) Find a hack for the system
2) Re-program to dispense cocaine
3) Profit

They got bars in the Czech Republic that have these. Went to Pilsen last week to tour the Pilsner Urquell brewery and then stumbled out and found one of these bars. I was in farking heaven. MMMM beer.

I can imagine it now: A single keg of beer pouring into four taps labeled "Coors" "Bud" "Michelob" and "Miller".

/They'll never know the difference!
