Where do you stand on Mason Jars in restaurants?
 
Acceptable and cool or would you like to see a renewed interest in proper glassware?

Meh.

They're fine. Rarely used in the wrong setting.

Question-begging.

I.E. a wine glass?

Or suitable alternative for, say, a bloody mary.

If you're drinking at lunch you're probably not as picky about what it's served in.

Valid argument.

Agreed. I see them generally in appropriate places.

I like them, too. Might even want a handful for home. Not for fancy events.

My son was served apple juice in a Mason Jar in Rochester, MN. It looked like a urine specimen in that jar.:eek:

Totally depends on the restaurant.

Definitely depends on the restaurant. Southern plate-lunch, bbq, or catfish place totally fine. Italian, French, or Japanese - run, don't walk, back out the door and find another place to eat.

"Proper" begs the question, since that is exactly what is at issue.

I personally found them to be a cute idea the first maybe 8000 restaurants to do it, but after that it gets old....

I don't care as long as my beer doesn't come in one.

The O/P is asking whether one ever gets a drink in a Mason jar that shouldn't be served in one. That sort of question does not constitute begging.

I'll refer you back to the Wiki link that you supplied. :p
