The hi-lo Jamaican Eating House in Oxford used to add gambling to the dining experience: there were no prices on the menu, and they reputedly charged you according to how much they liked you: "from a penny to a thousand pounds" was written on their sign. I have no idea how the legality of this worked out, nor how it affected their sales. It seems pleasingly anti-capitalist, though: the sort of thing Mauss might have written about.
The bar could be called "the visible hand." Or maybe that could be a cocktail.
