I get the need to make a profit but it costs a fiver for a whole bag of limes an actual mint plant and 2 litres of soda water which can probably make you at least 10-15 drinks, add an extra 15 or so for a bottle of rum, and you are probably looking at an actual cost of just under £2, so even on a specials happy hour they are getting a profit of at least £3, Then All other times they are getting a profit of £8 per drink that means 1 drink sold pays for the next 15 or so drinks.

Sorry but if you need to overcharge massively on your goods just to stay in business then maybe you need to re-evaluate whether they are fit to actually run a business. I'm pretty sure an £8 profit on goods isnt needed, also I bet I could walk up to the bar and buy a lime and soda water and a single rum for less than half the price of the drink as it is, all I'm missing is the mint, lob in a polo and jobs a good unbiggeordiedave wrote:I'm assuming this bar has staff, power, water, furniture, a license, music, a DJ, an actual venue etc etc. Yes they're still probably making a nice profit, but it definitely won't be £8!Don Sholeone wrote:

You're also paying for 'the experience' as well if it's a nice place.

What's £10 on a drink if you get laid/she's the one (delete as appropriate)?

Let's face it, even if you only got a handjob out of it then it's not bad value

This. If there were two bars next door to each other, one selling £3 cocktails and the other selling £10 cocktails, I'd probably opt for the latter. Not because I'm a d*******, it's just less likely to be full of lasses wearing pink cowboy hats and meatheads drinking Fosters out of plastic pint cups.Bodacious Benny wrote:You're also paying for 'the experience' as well if it's a nice place.

Would you pay £10 for a main course in a restaurant? The cost of the ingredients probably isn't vastly different.Don Sholeone wrote:Sorry but if you need to overcharge massively on your goods just to stay in business then maybe you need to re-evaluate whether they are fit to actually run a business.

Mixing together 1 drink in no way equates to cooking a main course, anyone can work a bar not everyone can work a kitchen.biggeordiedave wrote:Would you pay £10 for a main course in a restaurant? The cost of the ingredients probably isn't vastly different.Don Sholeone wrote:

Lol to be fair it turned out really well and spent 4 hours together, ended up at a nice little independent coffee shop with a nice log fire, few latte and a greek platter to share, went to an art gallery and a couple of museums, we are planning on a second date too
