Bottle prices printed outside Las Vegas

Among the eight menus in our table, Grey Goose runs from $350 to $650 and Don Julio 1942 from $600 to $1,600, as of November 13, 2026. TAO Chicago lists the 1942 magnum, 1.75 L, separately at $2,200, so its $1,200 line is the standard bottle.
The same bottle on a state store shelf
Some states run their own liquor stores and publish shelf prices. Don Julio 1942, standard 750 ml, is $179.99 in Pennsylvania, $179.95 in North Carolina and $174.99 in Alabama, as of November 13, 2026. Pennsylvania's price includes federal tax and its 18 percent liquor tax.
| Bottle | Club menus (count) | Store, 750 ml | Multiple, our calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tito's | $300 to $600 (7) | $21.99 | 13.6× to 27.3× |
| Grey Goose | $350 to $650 (8) | $29.99 | 11.7× to 21.7× |
| Casamigos Blanco | $300 to $650 (7) | $44.99 | 6.7× to 14.4× |
| Don Julio 1942 | $600 to $1,600 (8) | $179.99 | 3.3× to 8.9× |
| Clase Azul Reposado | $800 to $1,600 (7) | $179.99 | 4.4× to 8.9× |
| Moët Imperial | $250 to $525 (5) | $56.99 | 4.4× to 9.2× |
Sources: the eight menus above, PLCB price list, NC ABC price list, Alabama ABC price list. Checked November 13, 2026.
Where a menu prints no size, the multiple assumes 750 ml; the Dallas Tito's is 1 L and is left out. The Moët row counts bottle menus only, not Sparrow's $150 wine list. The cheaper the bottle, the bigger the multiple.
Grey Goose: $29.99 on a Pennsylvania shelf, $350 to $650 on the eight menus in our table.
Fees printed on the menus
Echostage says it plainly: its prices "do not include gratuities, fees or applicable taxes."

Mixers can cost extra. TAO Chicago prices Fever-Tree mixers at $8. The Twelve Thirty Club charges $30 for a six-pack of Fiji water or Red Bull. Prices as of November 13, 2026. We did not find a sales tax rate on these menus.
A worked bill from one menu
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Grey Goose | $450.00 |
| Don Julio 1942 | $1,000.00 |
| Margarita package for the tequila | $70.00 |
| Food and beverage total | $1,520.00 |
| Service charge, 20% | $304.00 |
| Administrative fee, 4% | $60.80 |
| Total before sales tax | $1,884.80 |
Sources: Harriet's Rooftop, 1 Hotel Nashville. Checked November 13, 2026.
Every input is Harriet's own printed figure; both percentages apply to the food and beverage total. The same two bottles at 750 ml cost $209.98 in a Pennsylvania state store ($29.99 + $179.99, our calculation).
Table minimums and price per person
A minimum spend is what the group must order at least. Clevelander South Beach in Miami Beach prints these, as of November 13, 2026, with our per-head split:
- Pool Side VIP Table, up to 4 guests: $300, or $75 each
- VIP Couch, up to 6: $700, about $116.67 each
- VIP Couch, up to 10: $1,200, or $120 each
- VIP Couch, up to 15: $1,600, about $106.67 each
Sources: Clevelander VIP tables. Checked November 13, 2026.
The split assumes a full table, before fees.
What comes with a table
A whole bottle and a seat. Turquoise Tiger at Turning Stone in Verona, New York, says the bottle comes with mixers and garnish. Regulators add rules:
- Washington, DC: a server must open the bottle, and guests stay seated with it.
- Boston: a bar needs written Licensing Board permission, and bottles may never be left under guests' direct control.
- Texas: a bottle may be served to two or more people at a time.
That is the difference from the bar: Boston and Texas both bar serving more than two drinks to one person at a time, while a bottle serves the group. Turquoise Tiger still bills cocktails and beer separately.
Why bottle service costs so much
Not because the bar pays much more for the bottle. North Carolina sells Don Julio 1942 to licensed bars at $183.70, against $179.95 on its shelf. Pennsylvania sells to licensees 10 percent below retail, $161.99 (our calculation). Prices as of November 13, 2026. Service charges and fees come on top, and some, like TAO Chicago's admin fee, do not go to staff.
Is bottle service worth it
As a way to buy alcohol, no: vodka on these menus runs 11.7 to 27.3 times the Pennsylvania shelf price. As a way to buy a seat, maybe. Ten people at Clevelander's $1,200 couch pay $120 each before fees, as of November 13, 2026. If the table or the bottle parade is the point of the night, that is its price.
How booking works
E11EVEN Miami, TAO Downtown in New York and Riot House in Scottsdale print no prices; a form goes to a VIP host. Clevelander takes reservations for groups of four or more.
