ahegeman 0 #2 August 22, 2004 What the hell were you drinking? To celebrate a promotion I took a bunch of my friends out and opened up a $500 tab. 4 hours later I closed it at $525, plus a $100 tip for our hard-working waitress. Best money I ever spent in a bar.--------------------------------------------------------------- There is a fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness'. --Dave Barry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian425 0 #4 August 22, 2004 Perhaps you have a dinking problem. Roughly $200/person. Actually it's pretty easy to do. There are some paces in NYC where mixedd drinks are $10 - $15 each (regular bars, not strip clucb). It's pretty easy to run up a big bill. Occasionally we go to clubs. We get a table with bottle service only $300 - $400 for a bottle of Stoli and a mixer. Those nights can get expensive. Of course the next weekend, I'm in my local drinking $3.00 buds having just as much fun. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

FlyingJ 0 #5 August 22, 2004 There was a night a few years back that I considered myself one of the luckiest people alive. I joined a group of friends at The Bubble Lounge, a champaigne lounge in NYC. Afer a few hours and several bottles the bill came and was well over $1,000, with no tip included. We all knew that it was going to be expensive, and had gone prepared, but it turns out we had misread the price list and thought we were ordering slightly cheaper bottles than we really were. We decided to just finish the bottle we had just ordered and then worry about it. Just then my friend noticed a guy he knew alone up at the bar. Without thinking anything of it he called the guy over and they started chatting. Turns out the guy was in NYC on business, staying nearby and when his colleagues decided to go to a strip club or something he wasn't interested in he came over here. We hung for another hour or so with him (already owing so much, one more bottle wasn't going to do much more harm) and as we brought up that we had better figure out what to do with the check the guy said that he would pick it up on his expense account. We all objected initially, but he said he was the one with the expense account on the trip and the other guys bailed on him so they were screwed, but that wasn't going to stop him from having fun. So, we had one more round, did a toast to Goldman Sachs, and went to get some pizza. Lesson learned...always make sure you are reading the pricelist correctly!Killing threads since 2004.

freeflying 0 #8 August 22, 2004 wow, that tab is gonna hurt on the credit card. i had one that was about $2500 at a steak place in midtown, but we split it among 5 people so it wasn't nearly as bad. Plus it was on the corporate account. i hope you all split it or at least got lucky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkM 0 #10 August 23, 2004 Well don't I feel like the cheap bastard. I would've just brought em back to my place and cracked open a 60 dollar bottle of tequila. Served California style, of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoudDan 0 #11 August 23, 2004 I went to the Cafe Opera in Stockholm, and paid something like $17 for a drink. After catching my breath, I then enjoyed an $8 sprite. We left shortly. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
