Self Serve Liquor Bar!!!


Now this is what I'm talking about, here is an interesting take on the bar scene - MiniBar , a new establishment in Amsterdam, looks to take the wait out of bar socializing with a self serve deal. Whether there is a control to check on intoxication of the patrons is another issue, but damn, this is Amsterdam. How does it work you ask? “Customers leave a passport or driver’s license with a staff member and are given an ice bucket and a key to their bar. The numbered mini fridges fill an entire wall, and vary in size and content—guests can choose from beer bars, champagne bars and mixed bars. Like an old-fashioned food automate, the mini bars are stocked from the back, making for easy restocking and out-of-sight logistics.” I usually go with bottle service when I'm out getting it in but this would help when I go to packed lounges where its not really necessary for me to pop bottles.
