In a reversal of the growing fast growing trend, Boston has banned bottle service.
Most people see bottle service with VIP treatment at a hot club in a big city a special treat and a perk of being able to afford spendy bottles of booze. But one Boston official disagrees and is cracking down on the clubs that offer bottle service to their clients. His argument? That the price of the bottle causes patrons to feel they have to down the whole thing before the night is over which, consequently, steps on the toes of the “happy hour” law of a two-drink max per patron.
Hooray for the average guy!
Just before every bar stool in the nation required buying a full bottle of booze. I’ve been to clubs where every seat requires bottle service, it is a bit much.
Thank God it’s Friday! Dr. Dre is in the liquor biz and it is about time. Dre has partnered with Drinks Americas, of Trump Vodka fame, to produce a line of spirits and mixers.
First out of the gate will be Dr. Dre Cognac, straight out of Compton. Kidding, actually it is a fine Cognac from France (Duh!). Plans are in the works for a Tequila and Vodka as well.

Forget the worm, this bottle of vodka has a 10 inch rattler stewing. Earlier this week Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents seized 411 bottles of Rattle Snake infused vodka at Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Texas. Apparently, Bob didn’t have a license to sell booze. Oooops.
TABC officials said alcohol containing snakes or scorpions is popular in Asian cultures. An Internet search found operations selling Thai scorpion vodka, cobra whiskey, giant centipede whiskey, herbal gecko lizard wine and Mekong River eel wine.
A study conducted by Göttingen University in Germany shows that the hippocampus shrinks less for drinkers of beer than wine or the hard stuff.
The ground-breaking study shows that the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in memory, spatial tasks and many other functions, was more than 10 per cent smaller in those whose tipple was wine than in those who favored beer.
This week DOTW was in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada for The Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade show. And what a show it is! We were immediately greeted by pumping club music, hip modern booths and flowing samples of every kind of liquor, beer and mixer imaginable.
Our first stop was at PINK Vodka (pictured left), which is infused with caffeine & guarana, perfect for an early Vegas morning. OK, it was 11 O’Clock. They were mixing PINK with fresh fruit juices created by David, their talented mixologist.
Next it was on to the Red Bull booth, er club (pictured right). Red Bull actually built a club on the trade show floor! We were greeted at the entrance to the booth by two girls in white vinyl outfits. Once inside there was a full bar (complete with stools) couches and two DJ spinning in front of a huge video screen. There were also a bunch more girls in the same outfits, some serving drinks and dancing on the bar! It’s hard work, but someone has to do it. (more…)
We thought a drink made with Absolut New Orleans, made sense for the Drink of the Week before Fat Tuesday. Absolut New Orleans is a limited edition mango vodka with a kick if black pepper, just like the Big Easy. The company is donating 100% of the profits to a number if Gulf Region Charities.
