Macchu Pisco is the correct spelling.

That's a bit too much.

It's the same in Victoria, BC. I can invite friends over for drinks and it doesn't cost as much as going out.

If you can afford to EAT at Le Bernadin, than you can afford to DRINK at Le Bernadin!
I think at The Velvet Hour in Chicago drinks were $15 each.

It's the Violet Hour, and they're $12.
$18 is definite sticker shock territory for me, but I guess if you're eating there you've got cash on hand.

You're right! It is The Violet Hour!
They are $12?... well when I left my bar tab was like $100 so maybe I was a little fuzzy at the end. :)

Hah. That is a familiar feeling.

I work in the building and walk by every day. The bar area looks really nice. But yea, these drinks are on the pricy end. Definitely an expense account or special occasion place.
