pepcycle Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What is it about Gadgets that makes me Giddy. A few nights ago, hazy ones at that, I went out for a drink in Lexington, KY to O'Neills Irish Pub. It was Blues Jam Nite, no cover and I had a hankering for burger. As the waitress escorted us to a table with a view of the stage, I noticed a prominently placed beer tap, unguarded, mounted in the table. Yes, it is the Tap-at-your-table. Not cheap, but very convenient. An LCD screen in the table records your consumption, like a digital gas pump. I couldn't control myself. Top Off my beer, Why not!!! Pour three ounces, so it doesn't get warm-Go ahead. Wait for a waitress to come by so you get your beer- NEVER!! The only bad part is that there's only one tap/table, so you have to choose a table with the beer you like. I chose Smithwick's at $.30/oz. It was Miller Lite special night for $.10/oz. Warning: Don't leave your table unattended!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcheer Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Ouch! $3.60 per draft beer. I hope it was good.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepcycle Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Actually, they were pints, so $4.80. I've spent more. More learnings. The company that makes the units advertises 30-50% savings in labor for the bar. The waitress still brings your check, so you tip her for serving your own beer. There's something wrong there. Its like paying a premium for self-serve. The towers are glycol cooled right up to the spout, so every ounce is chilled just right. Now, If I could get one in my house, I could charge myself for beer, tip The Patty and save for my mortgage all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8erdane Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Why stop there Ed? Why not have someone to drink the beer for you, burp the excess gas, and then pee for you starting every ten minutes subtracting a minute for each beer you have after the first one?
