Is an alcohol free bar a stupid idea? (Page 2)

[Iron_Man]

What is it like drinking beer without the alcohol

[nawtee_me]

Not for the person that likes the taste but is a designated driver.

[nawtee_me]

Okay, misread and thought you were talking about non alcoholic beer.

[Part2603]

Yeah, they're called Starbucks.

[Anonymous]

no not a stupid idea it's actually a great idea. a lot of sober people want to go to bars and mingle or just to drink and get out for a while

[SaoirseS]

Why is it a stupid idea?

[Asker]

It’s a restaurant at that point…. Why not just go to a restaurant?

[DermalPunch]

No, it isn't just a restaurant. The Mocktail market is big. People want to sample different flavor blends. Women like pretty drinks. It's a niche.

[zagor]

That's pretty much a Starbuck's.

[OlderAndWiser]

Austin is a weird town so it might work there.

[dustybiker]

I think only time will tell.

[TacosRAwesome]

It's an interesting concept.

[Jamie05rhs]

If it is successful, I may open one myself!

[SmokinAces2000]

What is going to serve? Soda?

[Joker_]

free alcohol bar is a good idea

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't see what the problem is.

[Zolly99999]

I'd go to it.. I don't drink...

[Anonymous]

Good for minors I suppose.

[Subarugirl]

And pregnant women, people who are sober, or people who just don’t feel like they need to get drunk to enjoy a good time

[snowboarder720]

So it’s a soda shop…

[curlyfirecracker]

yes.

[curlyfirecracker]

... to clarify, it could be a steppingstone to encourage drinking either way. If there are those that are trying to stay sober, it tends to not work that well to keep them from not drinking. As far as underage, they don't want that, and it just tempts for the real thing. They will try to figure out how to get genuine liquor.

[jamartheg]

Yes very bad very silly idea
