Just imagine, you're on your lunch break from work. You don't have a lot of time, but you REALLY need a drink. If you go to any normal Pub it's going to take hours to get served at lunch-time. You then have to find somewhere to sit and you can't even take your drink outside or back to the office.
There
are Fast-Food restaurants with Drive-Through's all over the world now. So why doesn't someone start a Fast-Alcohol Pub with a Drive-Through?

Baked. This film has Fred MacMurray visiting a drive-thru bar where he gets served a beer while he waits in his car. [hippo, Oct 08 2001, last modified Oct 04 2004]

They sell alcoholic drinks and their own line of T-shirts, along with a few other things. [Bert6322, Aug 19 2002, last modified Oct 04 2004]

There's drive-through bottle shops where I live... What's wrong with you? Don't drink and drive. |

Come on hippo, you know this stuff. If it's appeared in a film, book or other media then it's only half-baked (i.e.not an original idea). It's only baked if it actually exists in the real world...<pauses in anticipation of an argument about what is 'real'>.
I'm impressed that you can remember the film that well, though. Or were you just watching it last night?
And sdm's right about drinking & driving. So fishbone. |
|
| |
OK then! Why doesn't some one start one in the U.K. (preferably near me) or i go and live near SDM. |
|
| |
Ha! Why'd you want to go and do something crazy like that? My neighbourhood is about three shopping carts ghetto. |
|

OK DrBob, you're right that it's not entirely baked - However, as the drive-thru bar isn't an essential feature of the film but rather is included as 'scene-setting', I was making the assumption that it was something which would be familiar to 1940's cinema audiences, and thus existed in the real world.
Probably a couple of years since I watched that film. It is a very good film though... |

Yeah. Fair point hippo. Criticism withdrawn <grumble, mutter> |

I haven't seen a drive-through pub, but in Kimberley (South Africa) there used to be a drive-in pub - you could sit in your car and drink. Go figure! |
|
| |
Maybe it's safer than leaving your car in the car park. |

Partly baked in North Carolina's Outer Banks as the "Brew-Thru" (see link). You drive through it to buy your beer or other alchoholic drink (I don't know exactly what, I don't drink). I don't think the Brew-Thru counts as a pub, but you can buy alcohol there and just drive through it. |

Don't drink and drive. Stop endorsing crime. >:( |

Yay for [Murdoch]. He knows jibba jabba when he sees it. Lighten up [CloakedGrumpy]! |

//Don't drink and drive. Stop endorsing crime.//
If you hadn't dredged up a three year old idea, everyone would have forgotten about it. |
