GREAT IDEA! I bet at the guv the owner would not have a problem with Purchasing a Tim Horton Iced Cap machine - since he owns so much in TO already!!!

True about the stale taste after a short wheil with Coff - but at least witha Cap machine it would stay fresher, longer, and yummy for a longer while and NO chance of burnin' the tender tounge!

Thanks guys for the feedback. here's my follow-up:

* I would take a restriction on the coffee location - that is - yes, put in the smoking lounge or somewhere and limit people from walking far from it. I agree that walking around with a hot mug is a hazard. I think it's fair and acceptable to limit where you could walk around with it.

* Red bull or other similar drinks is not a good substitute for coffee. There is something about the aroma and taste that helps keep you alert. It's the ritual not just the caffeine.

* On a sober night, coffee REALLY HELPS So please put in an espresso machine. There is a market for this - believe me! Or let people go in and out so that they can grab a cup.

They do? I know they'll give you a stamp to go out to the patio, but I don't think you can get back into the club with that if you leave.


With regards to the topic at hand:

Some clubs sell iced tea, but why would you want coffee/tea? If you need your caffeine fix there are many caffeinated beverages and other energy drinks available. I'm not in the club biz but a coffee bar sounds cost-prohibitive to me; you have to buy the brewing equipment, make space for it, keep making it every 20 or 30 minutes, and it's going to take longer to serve than other drinks. Plus the bartenders have to be more careful with it than they would be with regular drinks.

Not that I'm against it, I might even have a cup on occasion, I just can't see it happening. Red bull actually has more "alertness" ingredients in it than coffee, since it's got Taurine in addition to the caffeine - I think any advantages coffee has over red bull are purely psychological. Personally I find red bull to do a much better job, but obviously the psychological factor is still important when you're talking about mental alertness...


P.S. as for the "coffee + alcohol = no good" comment - ever hear of REV, Vbase, that sort of thing? They sell them at almost every club.

Have you pitched your idea to the clubs yet?

ive seen three fights at the guv in the past 6 within the past 5 months. i seem to be at the right place at the right time. the people i feel sorry for are the ones that get tossed out of the way by the bouncers.

i saw a doctor this morning about the ringing in my ears (sometimes ring for two days), and she highly recomended that i start using ear plugs as ringing for long periods of time is a sign that permanent damage is being done, its good to know now that the clubs have them upon request.
so do you just ask for them at the bar?

They are located at the candy / food booth at the Guv in the main entrance hallway.

This is THE BEST PART of the entire community. I love it SO SO MUCH. I can't go to regular bars anymore.

Yea, you can do ins and outs in System, but you can't bring in food/drink. So it wouldn't be of help to the coffee drinkers unless they polished the whole coffee off before they re-entered the club.

you get a different stamp if you go out to the front. i have done it a few times. many people go and eat souvlaki and come back.

Speaking of coffee machines . . .

There used to be this stand alone, all-in-one, coffee vending machine--about the size of a regular soft-drink vending machine, where you put in 50 cents and after a minute of grinding/crunching/brewing get a urine-sample sized cup of the most foul tasting brown “coffee” ever inflicted upon mankind--in the lounge at my old law school. Being law students, however, meant we drank that stuff by the gallon. One day, we walk into the lounge and see the machine roped off with yellow, State Health Department, caution tape. The next day, it’s gone completely and an exterminator is spraying the area where the machine used to be. We find out later that the machine was infested with roaches.

The point of my story? I have none. Just happy to share.
