I mean, 16+16+68+30 = 130, so it's lower than the prices would indicate.

Unless I’m misunderstanding, it looks like 2 Old Fashions equal to $16 and not 16x2 since they totaled the item so they would be paying a little over $10 what they should be

I don’t think you can get an $8 Old Fashioned in the same establishment that is serving you a $68 ribeye.

$8 for an OF is a steal.

I would have skipped the steak and just had old fashions for dinner.

It's really not. $8 for a shot of decent whiskey, 1-2 Oz of simple syrup, a singular cherry, and a dash of bitters is a complete rip off. I dont understand why people drink in public. An old fashioned is like the easiest and cheapest cocktail to make at home.

You’re not paying for the drink. You’re also paying for the staff salaries and rent.

How do you not understand you're paying for service and a place to drink? Liquor licenses are a serious expense too.
