  Why a restaurant for the service.

  Between my wife and I we can make a lot of good staples (roasted chicken, beef and potatoes, etc.) but we’re not masters of the kitchen by any stretch.

  You go to a restaurant to have someone else make the dinner and hopefully they are better than you are to make something tastier. As a side you don’t have to deal with cleaning dishes.

  That and hopefully they have a good wait staff to liven up things

  Iirc it’s that they find Scotty from OG through plot magic and he complains about synthehol not being scotch.

  Data says someone else (guinan?) Has a bottle or two stowed somewhere of something similar…

  In real life you have to make your own food, make your own drinks, use your own plates/glasses/etc. and deal with cleanup.

  In ds9 the replicator does everything for you.

  But I get your point

  Thanks!

  This makes much more sense. On my first run through of ds9 and this has been bothering me

  Ok so next question. If the computer can magically create anything. And they are on almost all space stations (including cardassian/federation ones) what’s the point of a bar?

  Gambling makes sense. Paying for food/drink when you have a replicator doesn’t.
