Manchester has had one for a couple of years Taps Bar (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/75378/)

Still only the one though. :pray:

It's a novelty bar that is never full when we pass, and we ALWAYS pass.

Looks very similar to Cross Keys (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/54757/) where I saw one of those tables a while back now.

Their business model claims that bar staff are freed up from pouring pints so that can concentrate on other things. This is nothing new, Wetherspoons have been doing this for years :-)

Which is now closed! But there is a campaign to save the pub - hopefully without gimmicks.

That looks awful. We have something similar in that its table service only awful place I only went in there once never again. I waked in went to the bar and asked for a Pint of Doom Bar Please only to be told rudely by a member of staff Cant you read the notice by the door its table service only take a seat and someone will come and take your order (but I only want a Pint no food) don't matter you have to sit down. OK sits down waits 15 Mins same bird comes over and asked what do you want (Pint of Doom Bar please) Is that all (No some manners would be nice) :D Comes back with beer after about another 5 Mins and a mobile card machine so I deliberately give her a Tenner off she goes again only to return after about 10 minuets with the change. By which time my glass is empty so I asked for a refill and the whole procedure was gone though again. I was going to keep repeating this process until I had about eight pints or she got Brown off but I could just not stand the place no longer. Not surprising The Pub was empty when I went in apart from a few people stuffing their guts. I think this table service its to encourage foodies only I don't think they like just drinkers its all Twigs & Candles.

I wouldn't like the table service described above as I like to see my drink being poured to be sure I get what I asked for.
