It’s the first bar / lounge in a park that is over 50 years old. You can be for it and still acknowledge it’s a significant shift.

Just because you may not like the theme or design of a hotel, park attraction, eatery, etc. does not mean that a "ton of thematic effort" was not put into it. Others may, and do, appreciate the thematic design of those projects.

We were served mugs of ice water when we told the server exactly how awful the skull drink was...we just wanted the mug and needed something to attempt to choke down the corn and chicken flavored wood strips.

Eh, I don’t view this much as a “significant shift”. It’s not like this is alcohol’s debut at MK. How many years has it been? 13ish? And yes, I understand the first 10 were very few locations. (BoG, dessert parties, maybe 1 or 2 more places/events?)
Yes, it’s the first place at MK that’s mostly geared toward alcoholic drinks, but that’s it. I just don’t think it’s something major/earth shattering in terms of the direction of MK. To each their own.
It’s almost as if the scarcity was complete poppycock and artificially created to gin up demand.
I wonder what other things they play these same games with….

Probably more a case of adjusting capacity as they have seen how things have worked during the opening weeks.

Or maybe it was to fine tune the operations by limiting the number of customers. Not everything is some sort of "poppycock."

I don't think it'll ever result in the bad behaviors from epcots "around the world."

So kind of you to tag me! Many thanks to you and @DCBaker!
I was actually going to post here today to tell everyone not to lose hope: I managed to snag someone’s cancellation the other day by refreshing the app. And it seems that the reservations they released today are already gone, so my message still stands.
The tavern itself is incredible in person. (Even my minor complaint—based on photos—about the blue LED lighting turned out to be unfounded.) I would recommend the experience to any Disney fan.

Indeed. There were many empty tables when I went, and I didn’t assume some grand conspiracy.

One thing I have found since they switched to the 2-hour only notice required to cancel ADR is stuff becomes available day of quite often, so definitely keep checking! Definitely found this happening with Geo-82 and am sure it will happen with B&B too
Glad you enjoyed your experience at B&B!

I am glad you got in! It looks sooo fun, so very Disney!
I’m not sure how you figure that, considering it’s been packed to the max since opening. If anything 2 tops are easier to operate because they generally order less.
But I’m sure it completely doesn’t factor that 2 tops in high turnover settings are generally less profitable than parties with 4 or more. So they pushed for bigger parties during the opening weeks.
It hasn't been running at max.
When I was in there it was tight. I’d hate to see it running at max then. All makes sense why they favored the larger parties like mine.

“Packed to the max” and at maximum capacity are not the same.
Was every available seat occupied when I was there? Yes. And after 45 minutes people were cycled through with no dillydallying.
Unless they’re planning on adding more seating or extending operational hours, I’m kind of at a loss as to how you get more people in there.
