We often get calls at our New York birthday planning service asking us, "What is bottle service?" This sometimes catches us by surprise, as bottle service is a mainstay aspect of NYC clubs and lounges, and has been for some time. However, for those who are curious, this blog post discusses what bottle service actually is, and some of the costs associated with it.
"Bottle service" is the term given to VIP treatment at trendy hotspots and lounges where a person elects to purchase at least one bottle (but often more) of liquor. Besides the bottle, the purchaser receives a premium seating area and table, and one-on-one attention from a staff member who will be responsible for delivering the bottle, glasses, and any associated mixers and chasers.
In New York City, you can expect to pay a pretty penny for bottle service, and prices often start around $300 before tax and gratuity. At some of the top venues, you may find yourself paying more than a $1,000 for premium liquors and champagnes. Many first-time visitors or relative newcomers are surprised by the costs, but bottle service is considered a sign of status, so you can expect to pay accordingly.
On the other hand, bottle service can often provide some unique benefits that make it worth the high price. Typically, bottle service means free, expedited entry into a club for the purchaser and his or her guests. In addition, there is something special and very cool about bypassing the line and being escorted to your premium table that has to be experienced to be understood.
One of our customers' favorite things about our service is that we often offer complimentary bottles to large parties (normally at least 25 people), where we handle the cost of the bottle and let our clients handle the gratuity. If you are having a birthday party in New York, make sure to check us out to enjoy this unique service that we offer.
