Pour your own - O'Sullivans Douglas

Ludo

Anyone used the "pour your own" pints tables in O'Sullivans in Douglas? Going there tonight with a gang from work. Not a work do though so we will be paying ourselves. I was wondering how you pay for the drinks. Do you just get a bill for everything and have to work out yourself who owes how much?

Reason for asking is that one of the lads going is a tight bast@rd who drinks a lot..can't hold his drink either which could be a problem when paying up time comes...I don't want to get stung paying for his pints!

Don't know about Cork but in the Baggott Inn in Dublin you have to get a credit card swiped before you can use the self service taps at the table.

Basically just setting up a tab. It's up to you and your mates to sort out the person who donated thier card

You can either use the "tab" system or nominate an amount that you want to spend beforehand and pay upfront. The tap cuts off after your amount is used up.

They have this in soho too, thing to remember is the more pished you get, the more you will waste pouring a pint, and you pay for this too!!

Would recommend this for a group of people...good laugh.

On the downside...we gave in the tight b*stards credit card and he paid. We all paid him back for roughly what we drank....git made a profit :mad:
He probably got a free night out of it as the rest of us were too honest for own good.

perhaps I made a profit alright but not enough for a free night out, maybe for half a pint:)

One thing to note though, it's amazing how fecking dirty/marked the pint glasses are in a pub but you normally don't notice by the time the bar man has given you the pint but when you see the glass before the beer is poured it's quite interesting to see the state of a lot of the glasses.
Lipstick on a pint glass is all wrong:mad:

A good trick in the trade for barmen/women is to pour the head over the side if you notice lipstick on it. The punter won't see it then.:eek:
