Ask Europeans questions about their countries!

This was one of my favorite subreddits back on Reddit so I'd like to recreate it on Lemmy. If any Mod from Reddit would like to take over this community, I gladly hand it over to them.

Rules:

  1. When responding, mention which country are you from since we don't have flairs on Lemmy yet
  2. Be nice and polite
  3. No other rules so far, this is a small community so we don't need to make it a police state, we'll see what future brings

Do you bring your own alcohol to a restaurant in case of family gatherings? (self.askeurope)

I live in Slovakia and in certain parts this is a very common thing - if you're about to have a birthday/wedding/any other gathering, you book a restaurant or some bigger place, you agree on what meal they should prepare for you and they prepare tables. The waitresses are there for you as usual.

But when it comes to alcohol and drinks in general, the restaurant doesn't serve it, you bring your own and also serve it.

I always found it weird that we bring our own alcohol to a restaurant even though the restaurant offers alcohol aswell.

Is this common in your country also? Do you bring other things for a party/gathering in a restaurant?

I've never heard of any restaurant in The Netherlands that would allow you to do that.
