    long island iced tea if you want the most bang for your buck

    jack/crown coke if you like that kind of thing, or rum and coke if you want sweeter

    if you like redbull you can go with redbull and vodka

    girls sometimes will go with malibu rum and coke, or cherry vodka sour

    then if you like drier stuff go with gin and tonic, or gin and jUIcE

    i think that covers a lot of stuff : )

    These are bar prices?!?

    Or is this what you charge at your lemonade stand outside your house. Actually, that's a good business proposition.

    Biggest ripoff I've experienced: $8 for a shot of Patron Silver.

    Yeah that's more what I expect; $11-13 for most any ____ and ____ drink in Miami. Except it's in a cup like [​IMG] filled with ice with barely anything in it. Clubs and bars make an absolute killing on drinks.

    Same in NYC?

    Pretty much. Club prices are usually anywhere from $12~$15 depending on what you get.
    Bottle service with table is around $250~$300, for something like Johnny Walker Black 750 ml.

    Oh.. I've taken $16 Johnny Walker shots before.. After tip you're looking at about $18. :eek: :eek: Such a rip off..

    Yeah bottle service is the most mind boggling thing in the world. I really don't understand why people would pay upwards of $600 on what is $30-$40 retail. I know the "experience" is part of it, but a ridiculous markup like that is something I can't fathom.

    Miami and Las Vegas' Night Clubs give by far the biggest 'bend over and grab ankles' treatment when it comes to buying drinks.

    I stick to beer at bars because I don't trust bartenders to put enough alcohol in my mixed drinks.

    In theory, yes, but every time I try to tip a bartender, it's like that Seinfeld episode where George keeps tipping the pizza guy and he never sees it.

    Stoli Soda, Jack and Coke, Crown and Coke or just a good beer like Stella.

    Oh yeah, after spending time in places like London, Athens, Rome, Paris, New York, Miami etc. etc. you will never b**** about drink prices in Houston or at Rockets games.
