SELF-SERVICE HOTEL BAR
Key-Holders Only “The Press” Special Service DUNEDIN, July 19. An exclusive “self-service” bar will be opened soon at the new Southern Cross Hotel in Dunedin. The bar doors will be locked throughout licensing hours, and only selected people issued with keys will be able to use it. Members of the “Key Club,” as the bar will be called, will help themselves to drinks and pay at a small till. Apart from members, only a steward will be able to unlock the door to clean glasses and tidy up. The hotel manager, Mr B. Cross, said that membership of the club would be by application. He did not say how many keys would be available. “The bar could be unique in New Zealand,” he said. “I don’t think there are many bars of its type overseas either.” The hotel also plans to issue credit cards, similar to those used extensively in America. “People with cards will be able to use them to buy drinks, and to shop in any of the nine shops to be incorporated in the hotel building,” Mr Cross said. “An account will be sent to them later.”
