Call that a beer? The glass isn’t even full!

Oof, the dreaded frosty mug. Admittedly it seems on-brand for an “all-you-can-drink” restaurant.

Not that big of a fan of that much foam, if anything i find it annoying.

Neither perfect, nor a pint.

When you have unlimited refils, i’d imagine how full the glass is becomes far, far less important

Given that this is Japan, with an ever growing population of robots, the truly important question is, do they serve pints of motor oil? Or is this yet another establishment that discriminates against mechanicals?

It’s a blank canvas.
Version 2.0 of that machine will do this no doubt.

Reflecting on the economics of flat-rate “All You Can Drink” establishments … how about eliminating the free “All You Can Urinate” policy, and start billing customers per unit of urine discharged?
Bonus: with enough customers, you can sell their aggregated urinary data to BigMedCo.

It’s in [a Japanese “all-you-can-drink” restaurant]
Golly, I sure would like to put a dent in that.

I don’t think people in the US could handle something like this responsibly. I’m thinking of the infamous Cleveland Indians 10 cent beer night.

The karaoke room I went to in Japan had all-you-can-drink sake (just use the phone on the wall to order another tray).
Can’t wait until they open one in Utah.
That sounds like a recipe for guaranteed shenanigans.Sounds awesome.
Personally, I wish it were a root beer float.
