$210,000 drink tab in London Night Club Hey big spender, $210,000 drinks bill
Tue Jul 24, 12:26 PM ET A Middle Eastern businessman spent over $210,000 in a five-hour, champagne- and vodka-fuelled spending spree in a London nightclub at the weekend. Fraser Donaldson, a representative of Crystal, a club favored by Prince Harry, said in 20 years working in the industry it was the biggest bill he'd seen from one customer. The unnamed big spender entered Crystal at midnight on Saturday with friends -- nine women and eight men -- and ordered a $50 bottle of white wine, a spokesman for the club said. But before long he was ordering magnums of Dom Perignon at $1,400 each and then called for a Methuselah -- eight bottles in one -- of Cristal Champagne at $60,000 and the party spread. The festivities ended with a "night cap" consisting of a Methuselah of Belvedere vodka, which cost $2,800. "He basically just said, 'keep the drinks flowing,'" the club spokesman said. When the party left at 5 a.m., the bill was 81,471.50 pounds, which with tax and service added amounted to 105,805.28 pounds -- $218,000. It included the cost of six Coca-Colas. | |

No practice of tipping in the UK, correct? If I am wrong, the waiter probably quit his job after his shift. a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

This type of club will be a tipping environment, however most probably a 12.5% service charge was added for the table service, a standard practise in London. All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller - | |

Insanity!
But the real craziness is how jacked up the prices are at these clubs anyway. I mean, a Methuselah of Belvedere vodka for $2,800? It's not anywhere near worth that much in the real world. And don't even get me started on that $60,000 Cristal bill. Please. What an idiot for paying those prices in the first place. I'm sure he cares though.
