An extremely inanimate nightlife DiePresse.com

When people who drink at the bar turn out to be fashion dolls after the restaurant restarts. Literally and equally soulless.

Until now, so familiar, from times before the crown-related gastropause: the later the time, the quieter and deeper the guests of the bar look at their glasses. However, the look is a bit lifeless in the first post-crown drink, the silence is too perfect. Did everyone really get so wistful in the weeks of strangled social life?

Because it’s shortly before 11 p.m. (general curfew in – attention: word! – newly started restaurant), and the last visitor to the bar is surrounded by a crowd of extremely well-dressed drinkers, but by no means particularly lively. This is not surprising, because he is the only living guest in this group.

What sounds like the plot of a Hercule Poirot mystery (crème de menthe!) Is actually a gag that the operators of a Viennese bar devised for the new situation. Their combination of showcase situation, placeholder guarantee and photo option will surely succeed on Instagram & Co. In order to guarantee sufficient distance between the guests, mannequins were spread out on the tables, all in collaboration with a company of fashion.

Something funny, at first glance and at least from a distance. On the other hand, however, the truth of all the scary fantasies that barpers and gastronomy fans could develop in the long weeks of deprivation. What makes a bar or restaurant visit a special experience: just the quality of food and drink, or the overall experience, including accidental social contact?

So if people with pygmalion doors don’t open at the downtown bar, the fun idea could backfire. Not only fans of the terrifying “Westwood” series, where perfectly human robots play the leading role, they could dip their creepy-filled drinks in such unpopulated establishments and try to escape as quickly as possible.

Except, of course, the goal of the bar operators would be that guests should exorcise the strange in such an inanimate company with as much alcohol as possible. If that happens, the Pygmalion model could still go to school.
