Robots Tend Bar in Berlin Pub
Guardian Unlimited: Where Berlin goes to forget: welcome to the robo pub

"It is strictly a members-only establishment, yet there are no bouncers on the door. You get in by swiping a card through a reader attached to the frame. When I dropped by this week, my bottle of beer was served by a robotic arm that fetched it off a revolving platform inside the vending machine. And when I had finished with it, I put it on a conveyor belt and pressed a button. The conveyor belt jerked to life and carried the bottle unsteadily out of sight.
