Pub owner John Beatles was not a fan of Cola and Co. He will serve beer.
Policy holder John Bittles (62) from Belfast, Northern Ireland. At his pub, guests should only order alcoholic drinks, no soft drinks. “A glass of Coke isn’t really worth it to me. (…) We sell up to 700 pints of Guinness a day and we only have a limited number of tables, so it’s not ideal if someone is sitting down with a Coke,” he tells the Irish newspaper. “Sunday World”.
The soda ban at Beatles Bar isn’t going down well with everyone, thanks to some bad reviews on Trip Advisor. “Unbelievably rude,” writes one user, “save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else”.
Rules of interest in a Northern Irish pub
The Beatles weren’t the only ones causing a stir. In July of this year he put up a sign making it clear that he would no longer be serving small Guinness glasses.
Beiser gives a reason for the move, similar to the lemonade ban: “We’re a small restaurant here and we sell hundreds of pints every day, so there’s no place to sell half pints.”
Other pubs also serve food, which he doesn’t, the 62-year-old explained “Belfast Telegraph”.
