For their Stanley Cup celebration, the Bruins racked up a $156,679.74 bar tab, including a $100,000 bottle of champagne.
That's fucking nuts!

WINNING. A $100,000 bottle of champagne!
http://www.boston.com/sports/blogs/thebuzz/2011/06/bruins_go_to_fo.html"[Shrine] Owners Ed Kane, Joe Kane and Randy Greenstein hand delivered a 30 liter bottle of Ace of Spades “Midas” champagne, costing more than $100,000. The bottle, which is one of six in existence, was double the size of the 15 liter Ace of Spades brut that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban purchased for his team after their NBA Championship victory just one week ago. The bottle, which was signed by every Bruins team member in attendance, will be on display at High Rollers and will be raffled off at a later date to benefit the Bruins foundation."

I always love this stuff.
There are people out there who really believe that pro athletes DON'T party.

There's like a 19% "service charge" on the tab. $25,000, nice tip.

They were probably ginormous bottles.
$15 bucks for a Jager Bomb. That better be the damn glass of Red Bull that you drop a shot of Jager in and NOT just a shot of it mixed.

I wasn't sure if the service charge was the tip, I usually see gratuity followed by a % then the amount so if that is it then whoever was on the radio today was wrong.

Ya...the service charge is the tip.
I also read that they were able to rack all that up in about 4 hours.

I can't believe the crazy markup of liquors these type of places have. A bottle of Bacardi for $300 bucks. That is a like a 1000% markup. Crazy.

I agree. My friend just had a birthday party in downtown San Diego bar. Bottle only and the cheapest bottle was $150.00. Let's just say I didn't drink that night.

Even if they had, that's a good chunk of someone's yearly income.

Haha!
I had a chance to try a glass of Ace of Spades with a club owner in NYC once. Certainly not THIS kind, but even that bottle was $1,200. Needless to say, I wasn't the one buying the bottle.

It isnt the mark-up on the bottle they purchased. Its the mark-up of the shots from said bottle. Say the bottle gets about 50 shots, and they are charging 6 bucks a shot, but the bottle itself was only 50soemthing for them to buy. They arent gonna sell you the bottle for a mark-up on that (for like 150 bucks). They are gonna charge you for the amount of shots they are loosing. 50 X 6 is the 300 charge.
I used generic, uninformed numbers. But that is TYPICALLY how a place will do bottle service.
