You can control the home bar with up to three devices at a time.

The "Keurig of cocktails" concept isn't exactly new, but that's not stopping companies like Barsys from perfecting the robotic bartender. Next week, Barsys is launching its robotic cocktail mixer 2.0. Like the original, the next iteration offers automated cocktails and customizable drink recipes. But now, you'll be able to control the machine with up to three devices at a time, thanks to Bluetooth. And Barsys 2.0 will use AI to keep drinks consistent.

That convenience will cost you. Barsys 2.0 will be available July 22nd for $1,500. That's quite a jump from competitors like Drinkworks, which offers its Home Bar for $299. But the company is hoping Barsys 2.0 might also appeal to bars and restaurants. It claims Barsys 2.0 could reduce waste with exact pours, and while it doesn't exactly want to replace bartenders, it wouldn't mind "freeing them up" to interact with customers.

I could see something like this at hotel bars. But strip clubs and Red neck bars you are not going to see this
 
The vast majority of mixed drinks sold only use two ingredients - Gin and Tonic, Rum and Coke, Jack and Ginger, Crown and Cran, etc.
If a bartender still has to find the right glass and control each mix, will a $1500 machine really be THAT much of a time and money saver?

The machine isn't going over pour or give extra liquor to anyone, that way they can save on their liquor costs.
 
Might be good for home if youre lazy, but when i was a bartender, people didnt pay me to make drinks, they paid and tipped to have a conversation with me about sports, about what this town had to offer, where to find women, someone to listen to their fucked up problems.. Good bartenders provide an "experience". Something you cant really get out of a machine...yet.
