What was your biggest bar tab?
So, I went out with Aggravate last night and ran up my largest bar tab to date. What's the most any of you have dropped at a bar? (I'm not proud of blowing a fair amount of money on something so stupid but it was fun.)
$357 (tip included). How much was your bar tab last night?
The value of a used japanese commuter car
Are u working in africa? What happened w that
About tree fiddy
Well?
$195 before tip ($230 with)... and at the time I was only making $11/hr. Talk about pissed off at myself when I woke up the next morning
it was a joke bro
I think the most impressive bar tab I have ever run up was around 170 with tip so prob like 150 or so before, before you laugh you might want to know it was 2 dollar beers night and 3 dollar mix drink night. Split that up between me and my buddy and three ladies and it came out to like 12 drinks each. It goes with out saying I woke up naked in my room with quite a few people in my bed and one hell of a headache.
Did your butt hurt too?

I ran up a 110 + tip tab on $.50 college night at a local pub in Houston. We were ordering drinks by the 20 and handing them out to girls as they walked by. Group of 8 of us but my turn to buy. Dont think we ever spent more then $50 before this night then it always became a race to break $100.
Highest ever was $350ish buying rounds of shots for myself and four girls. One ended up touching her toesin a restroom few hours later
$189,000
$467 + a $100 tip. They had a mechanical bull, I was blitzed and really wanted to have a go on the thing>>>bought a $250 worth of bull ride tickets ($5 each)- never rode the bull once. Total damages: ~$817...most retarded night ever, wasted so much money.
$2200.
6 bottles of belvedere @ $300 each, + $400 tax/tip.
It was a birthday party, we had 3 tables at "insert new random hot spot here", split the bill 6 ways, and had about 15 people total. So I paid like $375 or whatever my share was.
I will always be slightly embarrassed to admit to that - I think people that spend $300 for $20 bottles of vodka are the highest form of retard, but there I go making myself a part of it.
$210,000 for 4 yrs of beer pong on the Street
COLLEGE!

I used to do that all the time, too, Nobama. I feel like such an idiot about all the money I wasted. Had some great times, though, that's for sure.
$700
Was a group of 5 to 6 of us. Owner ended up comping it, because he found out we were military. Gotta love the North East.
You guys are fucking insane. How the hell do you rack up bills worth hundreds of dollars in one night?
Not pregaming, not being a light weight... and going with multiple people.
See above. $300 bottles get you there in a single purchase. Add a bunch of them together, and you've got a large bar tab.
Not saying anything particularly bad about a gargantuan bar tab, it's just mind-boggling.
Hmm. I thought I was pretty clear, but for you to have asked the question you asked, you either ignored what I wrote or didn't understand. So, to restate what was already stated, there were 6 bottles @ $300 each plus $400 tax / tip. Total bill $2200. The tab was split by 6 people, and consumed by about 15. The 6 of us that split it were best friends of the birthday guy, the rest were friends, but were invited without being asked to pay for anything.
The occasion was a birthday party; also previously stated. I assumed that implied that it wasn't just another Friday night out (so void the conjecture about cheapskate buddies and trying to hit on waves and waves of girls).
Lastly, you should say particularly bad things about anyone that spends $2200 on a bar tab, or $300 on a single bottle. It's dumb. I pointed out that I was embarrassed to admit my participation in such tom foolery. But, it was fun at the time.
$500 between two friends we were with 3 slampieces that payed later that night (WINK WINK) but i learned to pregame after that..
Keep the shits coming ya cunts.
cartman -- i was at the library in austin and was amazed that i bought 3 shots of jager and a rum and coke for 11 bucks. conversely, in puerto rico i paid 5.50 for 2 beers, a rum and coke and two shots of rum. in NYC im happy to pay 4 bucks for a well drink lol
me and a couple coworkers rang up a ~1000 dollar bar tab at the end of september 08 buying drinks all night long to celebrate the cash we made... and this was a monday night at the galway hooker.. where drinks are relatively cheap. bottlewise there were a few nights in vegas for march madness for a coworkers bachelor party back in 09 where we were copping multi bottle after bottle at tryst, XS, tao etc
Shots is what will absolutely wreck your tab. Going to bars where shots are over $5 and buying rounds will do wonders to push that baby well into the triple digits.
Another big factor is credit cards. I've found that when I'm hammered it doesn't matter what is in my bank account I'm convinced my credit limit represents cash in my pocket and i blow money accordingly. The worst moment of my week is when my credit card statement gets updated from the weekend .
.
thats what im thinking?! wtf some ppl state 30 USD?! That's barely a gin tonic for me and a margarita for the girl... what am I gonna drink the other 4 hours?!
$250...just me and 2 buddies.
I've attended countless all you can drinks with a few close buddies and we've collectively smashed several hundred dollars worth of liquor in a single night. I've always been fortunate enough to have bartenders and servers that are either close friends or friends of close friends that liked me/us enough to hook us up.
Those who have experienced the same know it is fucking awesome to drink all night, pound shots and have a $9 tab at the end of the night.
Additionally I have what some would call a "familiar face" so I get people that buy me drinks a lot because they think they know me or that we went to school together, etc...which is great. I recently had a bartender give me free drinks all night because she thought she knew me, lol. It was one of those, "Oh my gosh, it's so great to see you!!" moments and I'm thinking to myself that I've never even seen this chick before in my life...but who am I to ruin her dream??
I used to be freaked out, like it was some sort of huge Truman Show joke, because literally any night I would go out someone would ask if I used to work at xyz or if I went to school at such and such. Now I embrace it.
Regards
The top three I can think of are....
$2400 Plaza Day & Night Brunch $2200 Gansevoort $1200 last Wednesday at Beaumarchais
Buffet would smack me, but it was damn good fun!
pathetic thread. what a damn waste of money. $30-$40 at most here.
Only a waste if you don't enjoy yourself while doing it.
$150ish. Going away party with a few friends when I was leaving school to start work.
$10,000 - $11,000 -- all in.
To be fair, there were about 30+ of us and this included the cost of dinner. No bottle service, just straight shots, champagne, and seemingly endless alcohol.
Most of my pricey tabs, at 400-500 per person, were for dinners with wine pairings, not just drinks. I dont drink anything fancier than vodka soda at a bar, I rarely drink more than 2, and i even more rarely buy drinks for a shit ton of people. Mainly because if I am with a shit ton of people, the alcohol is comped
I once dropped $90 at a complete dive bar, only drinking specials ($1.50 kamikazes and $3.00 pitchers of bud light). It was myself and 2 friends, but they weren't drinking much... The next morning was rough, to say the least.
Other than that, probably like $150 when I am buying a few rounds for a friends b-day or something. What on earth are you guys ordering to be running up $500+ tabs? Is it just a ginormous group of people, and incredibly trendy bar, do you (or your friends) drink like a fish, or all of the above?
$550 for 3 people. Friend landed his dream gig (well, after 1year of IBD anything looks like a dream job) and took us out for drinks. This was on a weeknight too. Next morning was absolutely brutal, and I ended up sleeping through a morning call.
Am curious now - anyone have any funny stories about people showing up drunk/hungover at work?
Probably around $400. I was in the Bahamas last year, Atlantis, and did pretty well at the black jack tables. I spent about half of my profit on a bottle of vodka. In retrospect it was money well spent.
~$350. All on beer. Next time I throw a going away party, I will need to find a cheaper bar or invite more teatollers.
I did spend all evening throwing up, but it wasn't the alcohol- I only had two beers. The nausea was from spending more than I plan to spend on a used car in three hours.
.
$260 at Flashdancers a couple weeks ago
On the last day of my very last final ever in college, $80 at McSorley's.
i can't believe Score's has not been mentioned on this thread yet.
~$7k for work, but I only had to put around $3k on my card and a RVP put the rest on his. Have to love expense accounts. I saw him the next day at 7am and he was double fisting coffees with glazed over, bloodshoot eyes. This was in Minneapolis so you can imagine how much booze that can buy for about 15 people.
For personal bar tabs, the wife and I ran up around $380 before tip. That was not fun to see the next day when I checked online.
me and two buddies 450.
who the fuck spends over a thousand dollars at a bar? Understandable if youre one of those schmucks getting bottle service, but if youre strictly drinking shot/beer/liquor drinks how is that even posssible? you would be dead
Just like every other thread here about 90% of the posts are exaggerations and pure bullshit.
Stop drinking at dive bars and you'll rethink this.
.
1 day hang gliding= $100 in cash +amortized costs > 1 night of drinking at a loud club where no one can talk= $500.
$60. Only because I was going wild at a Karaoke bar
EUR350 at a Parisian club, me, a guy, and 2 chicks. Girls paid zero, guy gave a few bucks back.
Gotta hate Paris and its ridiculously overpriced, everything. EUR20/drink :(
The most that I've ever paid in one night was low four figures. I've gone out with small groups of friends (say 5 or so) where the tab has been in the high fours, low fives.
Nothing more baller than 6L and 12L bottles hahaha.
You people have serious drinking problems.
The night after I spent $400 on beer, a number of my dutch calvinist ancestors rose out of their graves, grabbed pitchforks and torches, and starting knocking on my apartment door at 3 AM, groaning "Spendthrift!" "Gluttony!"
LOL!
~$500 for happy hour, left the bar at around 7:30. The sales guys paid for it.
for my friends 24th birthday party he spent £25,000 (including limo and predrinks)
Yea, that's pretty ridiculous. Honestly, I'd say anything over $1,000 is absolutely ridiculous, and the only reason I put the number that high is I know some people can down a good 20-25 drinks in a night and those people tend to buy a lot of drinks for other people. Hell, I have trouble spending over $50 in a night these days.

Who in the hell includes ordering 'bottles' as a bar tab? I think just about everyone has been stuck with a tab @ a table in which they have to pay for a few bottles. Nice, congrats- not a bar tab. I knew idiots who dropped 5k in one night trying to press ladies on bottles. I try not to drop any money on tables..
A bar tab is when your card is on the line behind the bar all night and it's being hoarded by guppy friends and fake whores. I think the largest I ran up was around $720+tip back in college when I didn't know sh!t about saving money and I thought it was cool to buy the entire bar rounds of patron on the hour.
Of course things are different now that I actually am responsible for paying for everything.. although the fake whores and guppy friends aren't much different.
