Credit? F*ck that - I'd prefer to drink beer.

To answer the OP's question they work via wireless as far as i know and it send a signal to a unit behind the bar and vise versa, it tells you on the read out where you pull the pint how many pints is left to pull ie. if you pay for 10 before the night, it tells you after 3 pints are pulled 7.0 remain, and if you have 9.0 pulled it tells you 1, it even tells you you have 0.01 left if you dont pull the exact amount! but you can leave a credit card as well but i think you can still set how many pints you pull ect before hand.

I'm off to the tech forum to see if they can come up with some sort of code cracker for this wireless operation.

The Locke Bar in Limerick has them now aswel, I never noticed, must head in and see what they're like or what's the story with them:

Tried them the once, might have just been me but the pints seemed to come out a bit warmer. Plus I've only seen them for Guinness and Heineken, the first of which I won't touch and the second only under duress.
Pile of wank imo. I'd rather be able to buy spirits by the bottle. Was in a place in the states that was great, though, you had to put a hundred down per table up front for two bottles. Still a damn sight cheaper than pints or buying spirits in singles and doubles.

Yeah they do the "Pour Your Own Pint" with Guinness and Carlsberg in Sinnots beside Stephen's Green. A few of us booked a table last week after work for one of the WC games. The novelty wore off pretty quickly though and those of us who had done bar work before ended up having to pour the pints for the night. Would have preferred to walk the ten or so yards to the bar tbh, though we did have a good view of the big screen.
