Top California Dive Bar, Johnny's Saloon, is World's First Pour Your Own PBR Bar

Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Johnny's Saloon is a raunchy, 'take us as you find us', neighborhood (award winning) dive-bar known for it's support of veterans, blue collar America and a love of what they do ...100 beers and 100 whiskies, come and get 'em!

This week they added to their unique character by becoming the world's first 'pour your own PBR bar. The addition of two Draft Tables by makers Ellickson USA means that customers can now pour their own PBR right at the table. Each table comes equipped with two taps on a rotating tower so customers simply twist the taps toward themselves and pour.

Managing partner Johnny Nosich commented, "These table taps allow self-serve beer. That along with the best jukebox in OC and the best regulars in the world makes for a pretty awesome time. The i-buttons allowing anyone access to the table, that's of age, is just such a cool feature we couldn't resist spoiling our patrons so we got them in."

When CEO/COO Josh Goodman was asked about the i-button feature he replied, "It's a hardware fob that the customer can attach to their keychain that stores their information. Each beer tap has a receptor that accepts these fobs so customers can open the tap and pour what they would like, up to a two beer limit, and they can taste as many flavors of beer as they have on their tables in the bar. We have also migrated that i-button technology to entire walls of taps we call beer walls in other locations around the US."

Johnny and the team at the saloon maintain that the beer wall is next on their wish list for their lucky beer drinking regulars.

Onslaught of 'Pour Your Own Beer' Tables in Philadelphia Area Makes for Lots of Happy Bar Patrons

Rosemont, PA (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

Earlier this week two of Ellickson USA's mobile Draft Tables made an appearance in the Villanova area local establishment, Flip and Bailey's. This seems to be a growing trend in the Philly region as we have seen them pop up at 'Xfinity Live', the behemoth sports bar complex in the South Philly Stadium complex as well as 'Rebel' on Spring Garden St, Dave & Buster's on Delaware Avenue and Plymouth Meeting and there are rumors of more downtown this Summer so the trend is growing.

It seems this is not just a regional trend. Josh Goodman, Ellickson USA's CEO/COO said, "We have over 200 tables nationally now in about two years and most of those have sprung up in the past 6 months, the demand is growing considerably now that we have proven that the concept works and pays off quickly. We are seeing a lot of growth in mobile tables because of their ease to install and operate but also in our new beer walls."

Damien Given, GM for the group that owns Flip & Bailey's, commented that "we had been looking to invest in a unique business driver at one of our three locations for some time but wanted to make sure it would be a solid investment before we did. We saw the trend developing with these mobile tables and, as we are seen as somewhat of a trend setting place, we decided we had better get ahead of the curve."

Local area Villanova students can now enjoy pouring their own beers any night of the week and who knows, maybe they can also get a little training for that Summer job at the Jersey shore into the bargain!

Enjoy Beer the New American Way: Pour Your Own at American Social via Draft Tables by Ellickson Beverage Systems USA

Ft. Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 14, 2012

Beer has its place in American tradition and one local bar has just given its patrons even more freedom when it comes to its beer. American Social allows customers to self-serve their beer. Its America at its finest.

Opening earlier this month, America Social lets bar goers live their dream of bartender, offering different beers on tap that customers can pour on their own. The bar features one six-tap beer wall, the first of its kind in Florida, and two four-tap Draft Tables from Ellickson Beverage Systems USA, the leading provider of innovative technologies that enhance the commercial performance and social dynamic of bars, restaurants, and other establishments.

When we opened American Social, we wanted to break tradition and offer a new opportunity for our customers, stated Paul Greenberg, owner of American Social. Letting our customers pour their own pints of beer reshapes the way beer is served. It gives our patrons the freedom to try different types of beer or create their own mix. Who knows what new draft will be created at our Draft Tables.

The American Social Beer Wall offers six taps. Each table comes equipped with four taps on a rotating tower (think sharing a pu pu platter at a chinese restaurant) so customers simply twist the taps toward themselves and pour a beer when they want it. Even better, customers can take just the amount of beer they want. No more leaving half a glass of beer on the table not that anyone will admit that theyve done that!

And, self-serving beer is as easy as using a key. Both the Beer Wall and Draft Tables are monitored by the ounce and are operated by an i-button that allow staff to permit and limit the amount of beer that can be self-served. With a tap of the button, customers can open the tap and pour what they would like, up to a two beer limit.
