Hey, what do you mean when you say you pay for the atmosphere?
You’re paying for the nice decor, service and ambience. There’s a reason why for big events (graduations, anniversaries etc) people go to Ruth Chris over Outback. It’s a nice experience.
I mean it seems like people enjoy the decor at Steak48 hence people going there to fake flex and stunt.
lol at paying $15 for a drink
Ehhh...idk where you live but I was in Baltimore meeting up with friends and even a regular degular bar is serving mixed drinks for like $12-$13. In DC most drinks are going for $15+. In Manhattan, decent spots are going for $18+ if not even $20+.
Is it overpriced? 100% but that’s the game. If I don’t wanna pay that I’ll look for HH deal or go to a BYOB spot or do something at home.

I don’t have the money to eat at a place like Ruth Chris on a regular, but my uncle who’s in finance can drop $600 eating out every other week at top restaurants without blinking.
It is what it is.
