European bottle service allows the patron to buy a bottle of alcohol and keep the bottle at his or her table and serve from there. It is also done in certain parts of Asia. Some people think that it lends a more personal touch to the evening as the diners are not interupted by servers as often. Personally, I like a good bartender.

Think of it as a new way for the bar or club to make even more money. You buy the bottle of vodka, tequila or whatever and it is placed on your table so you can mix your own drinks. I don't think this is a great idea for a couple but I guess it could be fun for a group walking back to their room. Bottles will cost you 100 bucks and up. If martinis are $12 bucks this is sort of a "value". LMF

It is a way to prevent people from bar hopping. If you stop in one place and buy a bottle, you are going to stay longer, and probably do food or other things too.

Thanks for all your information. I actually spoke with the night club and found out that the service if the only way you can reserve a table and is 1 bottle for 4 people and a bottle is is $300.00. I think I will sit at the bar instead!
