Pretty simple really. a bartop with holes like an airhockey
table that have air comming out so you can slide your beer
old
west style down to people at the other end of the bar
when
your at the beer taps up the other end. The bartop would
need a bit of a lip on the outside to stop the drinks
sliding
off,
and rubber coasters with channels to let the air out of
the
bottom would also need to be used to stop peoples drinks
sliding away. For a really authentic old west feel
you
could give the beers huge heads so that the patrons can
blow
it in the face of their nearest foes.

you could possibly turn this into a tabletop game (like snooker) the one with the most beer in their glasses at the end of the game wins. hand-propelled glasses of differing colours possibly pushing balls or little tot glasses of whiskey (chasers) down into pockets? |

Every now and again, the jets could switch from pressure to vacuum and remove any spilled beer.
You could use this for plates of food, too. Crrroooiiiisss........... oops, missed it. |

Not needed on a properly treated bar top. Multiple layers of lacquer produce a nice sliding surface. |

I don't think sucking the liquids in would be a good idea, unless you collect them and sell it as the end of the night mystery shot. I suppose you could purge the system with a giant blast of air every hour and keep the patrons on their toes. |

Also good for keeping the totaly plastered guys off the counter. Once the night gets long, and those damn people wont leave, seal yourself in your burgaler safe room, and turn it up full blast to literally push them out the door. No fuss, no muss. |

A really skilled barperson would be able to give a glass a gentle shove so that the drink slides slooowly down the bar, coming to a stop next to the freshly-emptied glass of the dipsomaniac at the far end. + |

I'm thinking it's time for a game of "Beer Curling".. except without the brooms |
|

You'd have to crank the air up a little to provide any real benefit to anything as heavy as a beer mug. |

If you stick with the old-fashioned varnished bartop, the solution might be to have thick drink coasters with a beermat on the top, and a cavity underneath into which is placed a pellet of dry ice, making the coaster slide like a puck. After a couple of minutes, the CO2 sublimes away, and the coaster settles gently onto the bar. No air jets, no compressors, no noise, no modifications. But tricky to slide a Bad Guy the whole length of the bar and head first into the piano .... |

Anything involving a bar and the speedy delivery of beer to the thirsty patron gets my bread every time. |

There's always the jerk who'll point behind you before he tosses the beer...it's unavoidable...and he always wins |
