According to harried headlines it would appear that the Irving-based Chuck E. Cheese’s is just now serving beer and wine but according to company reps, they’ve always served alcohol.


Headlines this week suggested that customers could now order a cup of Bud Light or a glass of merlot but as company spokesperson Alexis Linn notes that’s always been the case.


“From the beginning we’ve served alcohol but there is a two-drink limit for drinkers,” Linn says.


That policy is in effect at the company’s 500-plus corporate-owned store. There are 30 or so franchisee-owned stores who have the option of serving alcohol if they would prefer. Alcohol service has varied over the years by region. <<

How good could a glass of wine be at Chuck E. Cheese?

By the way, I think the policy is a two drink minimum per kid brought....

Good...kids don't need more than two drinks

Two Buck Chuck E.

If you get drunk at Chuck E Cheese..... you might be a red neck.

The poll results so far are very interesting.

As well it should be. And they should be complimentary. Just sayin'....

I think that's a binary answer--if it has alcohol, it's good.

So this is funny...someone on twitter started the hashtag #hammeredDisney in response
to Magic Kingdom's new alcohol service.

I was perusing these forums and spotted this thread again, suddenly realizing that I ought to clarify my vote. I didn't read carefully that the topic is in reference to table service establishments. I voted against it, dreading a Cove Bar situation in the middle of Disneyland. Having a drink with lunch at the Cafe Orleans is a completely different story. It will be so tempting for Disney to serve alcohol in the cantina at Galaxy's Edge. However much I would love that is suppressed by the fear of passholders turning it into their very own version of Cheers. The Cove Bar is a nice bar within a Disney park, but the cantina is meant to be an experience. It would be a shame to see it overcrowded by locals, eschewing the tourist who has come all that way to step into the world of Star Wars. These concerns aside, I wish to be clear that I don't have any issue with alcohol at table service establishments and my vote was erroneous.

If they serve alcohol in the Cantina, it will absolutely become an AP hangout.

Everything at DL is an AP hangout regardless.

No matter what, you can bet there's going to be a long-@#$ line get into the Cantina -- alcohol or not. My feeling is that anyone willing to wait in a line for any kind of experience, AP or not, is as entitled to that experience as any other guest. I just hope they put some kind of time limit on how long you can stick around, which I would assume they will with something so highly in demand.

You can change your vote using the "change vote" button.

I'm surprised that the poll results are as close as they are. I wouldn't have guessed so many respondents would be opposed to table service alcohol at DL.

Really? These are the same people who talk about hedges for 50+ pages. It's pretty clear they haven't had a drink in a while!!!

It's called art critiquing

Even art critics know when to pour themselves a nice glass of wine!

 

[Ismael Flores]

Or smoke.

Smoking should be totally banned. Smoking involves not just the person doing it but everyone else that comes near the area.
Even when smokers are away from this sections and they get in line for a ride.
It’s not fun when you get in line for haunted mansion and out are stuck in the stretching room next to someone that just smoked a pack. Sorry but the smell is disgusting.

I rather be standing next to someone that just smoked some cannabis. At least I can have some fun with it and freak out by the time I get to the graveyard

We all already complain about annoying AP's in the park.
Now let's give them booze too! Surely they can't get more annoying, right?

Aren't APs already doing that at DCA, DtD, and the hotels and then entering DL? I don't see how offering wine or beer with dinner or lunch in sit-down restaurants at DL would significantly change anything. No one is suggesting that a bar be opened in Sleeping Beauty's Castle.

People did it in the 50's when Walt opened HolidayLand.

Then when Walt extended the Monorail in the 60's to the DLH, and the Monorail Bar was just steps away.

And it continues today. So Disney might as well make some extra money offering at Table Service restaurants like WDW. At least the Server will be seeing each guest up close, and not serve an intoxicated guest.

I've actually left Tomorrowland via monorail with friends and imbibbed at the Monorail Bar and returned to the park. Rocket Rods was super fun after a couple of Manhattans.
