I feel like I can't go out anywhere without spending a fortune. From well known bars to brand new trendy spots, it seems like everywhere charges at least $10 for a cocktail. Which is ridiculous!

I know the Hawthorne is on the fancier side of things, but this menu is unreal. I can get a whole bottle of wine that will last me all week for $10, why are we paying this much at bars? I really don't go out that much anymore because of how much bars are charging now for simple drinks.

I guess as long as people are willing to go and pay for something, the establishments will continue to charge that much, and even worse, hike up prices.
