STATS SPORTS BAR IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA, has instituted a new way to deliver draft beer to the customer.  They are putting the taps right on their table.

STATS is a three-story shop with five bars in it and the expected array of  huge plasma-screen tv’s tuned in to the endless sports programming.  Located just a block from the Georgia Dome, they have a good trade.  There are two taps built into each table and they are hooked into a cooler filled with kegs in the basement.

The Associated Press tells how it works:

A waitress must first check IDs before turning on the tap. When the digital ticker counting each ounce hits 180 — or about three pitchers — the taps shut off until a server comes by to check on the table. Bigger parties keep servers running back and forth fairly often, while it’s rarer for smaller groups to hit the limit.

To use the taps, diners simply reach into the middle of the table and pull the lever to get as much — or as little — beer as they’d like. Meters and valves monitor the flow and instantly display how many ounces the table has tapped.

Of course, this unique system demands a new pricing scheme. Charging customers by the ounce instead of by the drink means that if a full pint of brew costs $4, a single ounce would only cost a quarter.
