A380 spec's

Ten years ago or so, I flew in a Continental Airlines 747 they had just
acquired from some other airline, and it still had a bar in the middle of
the tourist class area downstairs. Bar stools and all, in a 70's earth-tone
motif. IIRC, there was no bartender, but you could sit at the bar and sip
your coffee. Didn't look to see if there was one upstairs. I presume the
bar disappeared when they refurbished the airframe.

Right. And the original 747s had a "stratolounge" upstairs, with a bar,
and
seating area.

And then the bean-counters figured out how many seats they could pack into
that space, and *poof* -- it was gone.
