I don't really see the big problem with bottle service. In fact, from my point of view, its a deal... If i'm going out and drinking at the bar, I'm going to buy at least 10 drinks. Especially if i'm out with a girl. 10 drinks at 10 bucks a pop, plus tips will come out to be about 110-120. If i'm out with 5 other friends, why not have everyone pitch in 100-125 bucks and buy a bottle or two? You consume the same ammount if not more alcohol than opening a tab at the bar. You get the waitress which will pretty much bring over anything you request. You dont have to fight with people to get to the bar and order a drink. The best part is having the table which is yours for the night. Your own reserved seating for the entire evening. Not to mention that if the club has a cover charge, its waived if you take a table. I admit, its a bit showy and Joe Blow has been known to flaunt it as if he's Donald Trump. Truth is Joe Blow is usually Joe Millionaire. I know you've all had that crappy feeling of asking the bartender for the tab at the end of the night only to be scared and shocked at how ridiculously high it is. Why not know what youre paying before you start drinking and a throw in a 100-125 before you sit down?
