We used this automated bartender machine to mix cocktails for a happy hour — and it didn’t disappoint

Barsys 360 mixing drinks during happy hour.

When you’re hosting a bustling party with thirsty guests looking for a mixed drink, the last thing you need is to stop what you’re doing to put together something for them. After all, robots and automated machines exist for a reason, letting you focus on other host duties, whether it's working the grill or socializing with your guests. That’s why we had the Barsys 360 smart bar fix up drinks for us during a recent office happy hour.

We’ve tried out other automated cocktail making machines, like the popular Bartesian Duet and even the ill-fated Drinkworks Home Bar by Keurig, but there’s something much more satisfying about the Barsys 360. After seeing it in action for our happy hour delight, we’re convinced it’s the most practical, cost-conscious automated home bar system around.
