Title: What's your biggest bar bill :)
Post by: JohnF on July 24, 2014, 23:58:14 PM
Ok. following on from my review of a week in Fethiye (which I haven't actually posted yet), here is a completely meaningless topic.

We've all had nights out when at god knows what time of the morning the alcohol just keeps flowing.  The reality hits when you get the wee box with the bill - you open it and go "holy phuck!".

Over the years we've had some horrendous bills in Istanbul, and I do mean horrendous - fortunately on most of those occasions someone else has been paying (work related).  However a few weeks ago in Fethiye I was presented with a bill that would have brought tears to the eye of any Scotsman.  Take three (of age) teenage girls, mix in their Scottish parents, add the atmosphere of their last night in Fethiye and what do you get in the box? 

Not going to reveal all right now but curious to know what your largest bar bill has been...

Am I getting this wrong or was the question "what was your largest bar bill" and not what was your dearest drinks   ;)  ;)

On a significant birthday for my beloved a few years ago I arranged a surprise meal for the family at the Fifth Floor restaurant at Harvey Nichols the drinks bill from the bar only before we had the meal, more drinks, wine etc was from memory over £1100  :o there were about 14 of us.

Whole evening did cost a small fortune but as it was a total surprise for her to see all the family at ours before we went and a truly great evening it was worth every penny.   :)  :)

No, you are right - and I was meaning locally in the Fethiye area as opposed to elsewhere.

ah Happy memories, not local but my partner booked a surprise trip to the Maldives -somehow the bar bill ended up costing more than our combined total flights and holiday bill.... (flaming lamborghinis featured high on the list).

In Turkey, for me the biggest bar bill always happens at the end of a boat trip. I sometimes wonder how the boats can offer a day out with lunch for £5-10. Then I remember what my bar bills usually total.

Otherwise, I'm too tight to blow money in really expensive bars. I like my beer (and wine) but would rather have a half-decent £10 bottle of wine at home rather than a rubbish £15-20 bottle in a bar/restaurant.
