It's a side table, but when opened, the top still serves as a shelf so that you don't lose the horizontal table space. Most tables would just have a top that opens. This table on the other hand, not only provides a larger opening for easier access, but it maintains it's usefulness regardless of whether it's open or closed.

Pulling a bottle or glass out through that half-a-whole looks like a recipe for trouble to me, especially avoiding knocking the glass as well. It also uses more horizontal space which you might not have.
Wouldn't a better solution be to have a sliding side, either in a breadbin / folding garage style slat system, or just some sort of compressing sliding door? At least then you maintain the same horizontal space whilst making the contents easier to access.
