The Ozarks have  pockets in MO and AR where immigrants from Germany, France and Italy settled. Several communities have strong traditions of grape growing and wineries. Some communities have traditions of beer brewing. In AR, Altus and Tontitown are known for their grape growing and Altus especially as a winery area. In MO, Perry County, Hermann, Ste. Genevive and St. Louis all have strong German/French traditions of brewing and wineries. So, with these hard economic times, should SDC try to boost profit by adding a winery or brewery? Should they say, serve beer in the saloon, or revamp the Wagonworks Restaurant back into the Vineyard, but instead of Welch's grape juce serve say Stone Hill Wine? Just playing devil's advocate here! What do you think?

I would have to say no thank you.. I dont go to the city to drink. There would be no way to enforce how much poeple might consume, and then you have the chance for the whole drunken brawl thing going..

Dont get me wrong, I drink beer/alchohol sometimes to excess. 

BUT that is not SDC.  Nuf sed!!

Thats funny you ask, afew guys at work were just discussing this the other day. We also talked about Worlds of Fun. They wondered why SDC dont sell alcohol at the saloon, i tried to explain to them that it is a family atmosphere. And thats where WoF came in, cuz they do sell it. But no, i aint for it either. Save that for relaxin' after ya'r done for the day.

I'd rather not see it at SDC.

[joshblakebran]

We would stop going to SDC altogether if they started selling alcohol...

[thelarsonsix]

No. On a related note, does this forum have polls?

[Destination SDC]

My family and I definately agree that there should be no alcohol at SDC.   We also feel that it would take away from the family friendly Christian atmosphere.   

[sanddunerider]

and that is exactly why alchohol will never happen!!
" The Christian Atomsphere" it is a big part of the city's history..

Larson!!!  great idea,  maybe shave could add that option in with all his spare time!!  LOL!!  Just kiddn shave, we love it here,  keep up the good work.

heat+husband+beer+SDC=divorce court. seriously would not put up with that. and just think of the idiots out there who would be ralphing all over the place and getting hurt. really not such a great idea.

As much as I would love to see the Vineyard Restaurant return to SDC, I'm gonna have to take the majority vote and say NO to Alcohol on SDC grounds. A rootbeer float always hits the spot for me when I'm at the Saloon. 

[sanddunerider]

""heat+husband+beer+SDC=divorce court""  LOL.

Maybe they could open a Divorce court room next to the wilderness church

sorry,  i thought it sound funny!


WAIT,  I know. 
If selling beer,wine and so on, lets open a gambling hall!, Then they could put in a building for Gamblers Anon. between divirce court and The church...?

Ok, i'm done for now...

Unless the bottle says Sarsaparilla, or Root Beer then it does not belong at Silver Dollar City.

Even if Silver Dollar City did serve alcohol, I really don't believe it would be profitable. It's just simply not what would draw people to Silver Dollar City.

For those folks who enjoy a good drink, or two the Ozarks have some wonderful wineries.

[MissinTheGreenTrams]

thats what one would think, right? go to chuck e cheese, ask for a draft beer and they will fill er up! no lie. they serve beer and wine at a kids eatery. but on the other hand I can see why.....

[sanddunerider]

yoiur right there trams~!!  couldnt catch me at chuckies without  a drink or four to numb me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

[eagle1]

Yeah...not a good idea. As other points, with the rides & drinking? Not a pretty picture!  You get tossed around enough, imagine being a little over the limit and getting off the electroslide? etc, etc, etc. It's a family park let's leave it that way!  Sure we all like a cold drink, maybe outside of SDC have them buy the Old Wooden Nickel Restaurant and can go from there? It's right up the road and used to be a great place to go!
