A rocks glass is approximately 4 oz. A standard shot of whisky is 1-1/2 oz. The fact that there was only one ice cube may have been the problem. A properly served drink in a rocks glass should have the glass filled with ice. When it is served this way, the whisky will fill the glass approximately 7/8 full.
Also some people expect more than 1-1/2 ounces for the price. In the other hand $13.00 per drink is extremely excessive.

Some establishments will provide more liquor when ordered "on the rocks". When in doubt ask as it varies from place to place. I don't think it should vary but it sometimes does.

A premium Martini at non-happy hour or in a first class resturant can easily cost $10 per drink plus tax and tip. So your over $12 per drink. Expensive yes but thats the going non-happy hour rate!
When you go on a cruise, Celebrity has a Martini Bar which is always packed with people....a Premium 4oz Martini is $12.95 plus 18% tip...$15.28 per drink. And a cruise line booze costs them hardly anything! |

There are only 5 places in the villages that include premium whisky's in their happy hour, Cody's, Arnold Palmer, Cane Garden, Nancy Lopez and Hemingways.
However; I always get a good pour @ the Cane, Arnold Palmer an ok pour @ Cody's & exceptional pours @ Hemingways (happy hour or not) and Bonefish. we stopped going to one club when they started measuring shots, returned when they resumed free pouring ( bar person counts) |

Just should have gone to Cody's and had the premium drinks at a two for one.
True, Honest John does have a very nicer atmosphere but what a price to pay for atmosphere! |

It is no wonder that Bonefish is the number 1 favorite here. I also think Hemingways offers very good value and love their happy hour drinks.

I would address this with the manager. I drink premium bourbon and was just there recently. My drinks were 7.00; others in the group had 2 scotch and water and 5 beers. Total was $35.

A friend of mine who was a bartender before he retired, had the same problem, when they first opened up. He brought it to the attention of the manager, who did not make it right. It was the principle of the thing, that bothered him.
Needless to say, we haven't been back!

when they first opened , we had the same problem--if we were seated @ the bar it would have been corrected
since we were with neighbors , I bit the bullet- they will not get our business anymore & since there menu is so limited, I have personal trainer & my trainer will not go there again , since they trimmed their menu,too |
