Obviously in the middle of the country if you think high end cocktails only cost $20!

Sigh…

OK, how much are they? Honest question, I want (and afraid) to be enlightened.

25-29. Not that much more. But the $20 price has been crossed by a large group in the last year.

In Seattle a cocktail at nice place is about $20. But add “living wage” surcharge and tax and tip and it’s basically $30

Nice meaning trendy and cute and hipster. Maybe other person “nice” as in a meal costs $200
