Obscene wine prices and a brawl over a table: this is the Hamptons.

This is the funniest quote and reply I’ve read in a while.

Just a thought but you don’t tip when charged $100 to sit at a certain seat/table, or on your $40 cover charge. But roll that into a bottle of wine and the service that goes with it then sure, tip away. Whatever % you are going to do it is going to add up to a lot more on bottle service then on just the price of wine and food.

I’ve gotten bottle service a couple times when I’ve gone with my wife and friends. So obviously I’m not doing it right.

In all seriousness. It’s just for fun. It’s tough for 6-8 guys to get into a hot club without a line and don’t look like creepers standing around. Anytime I’m with just my guy friends and they want to go to a club we will do bottle service.

As a guy you’ll have to pay $50 a person to get in with a line. Then pay $20 a drink. Easily end up spending $150 a person and you don’t have a place to hang out. Pay 2x that. Don’t wait in line. Have a great space to hang out. If I’m going to a club I know I’d rather pay the up charge.

No. They aren’t hookers. It’s just girls out with friends. Plenty of educated young women go. My friend met his wife there. She’s was an engineer at a major chip manufacturer.

A friend of mine met a girl he dated for two years. She was/is a financial analyst.

Smart/dumb/rich/poor girls at clubs want free drinks and a place to hang out. All it is is an ice breaker.

so do you have to tip 20% on top of the bottle price too? what the appropriate amount of grat for this?

I think you just cracked the code. Bravo.

Vegas is 28% tax tip mandatory. Every city is different. LA is similar.

+1 this. I worked the door at some high-end places in the early 00s. Some of the craziest night characters were strait-laced pillars of society by daylight.
