I would just use the bottle opener on my key ring...the one on the right.

How about when you're at a remote resort in the mountains, have a bottle opener, and it's a belgian beer, and you pull off the cap only to find a cork inside?! :D Yes, it's happened to me. I spent an hour prying cork out with my leatherman. Niiiiice!

Me, I always carrry an opener on my keychain.
 
I was in this exact situation just last week. Zymurgrafi's suggestion was dead on. The bathroom door jam striker plate was a nice heavy gauge stainless steel, with an exposed curved corner on one end. I just held the bottle in my left hand with the cap against the plate and smacked my left hand with my right. TaDa! I enjoyed a nice Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale and a Lagunitas IPA. No chipped bottle and no questions from Avis.
 
The bottle opener mounted to the bathroom counter. I haven't found a hotel/motel that doesn't provide an opener in each bathroom.
Says the man who loves Motel8 :D


Lighter is the proper answer to the OP.
 
not at a hotel, but in a field...I had a pair of jumper cables in my trunk, the teeth on those things give you a solid grip on the bottle cap, and takes little effort as there is plenty of lever capability.
 
I can open a bottle with my teeth. :D

i have a chipped tooth from that. nice chip missing. can still feel it 11 years later.
:cross:

also have opener on key ring. one built into belt buckle.

have pulled cork by putting a screw into it and pulling with pliers on swiss army knife. also, you can shove some of them right into bottle (where it will stay)
