bottle service

Nightclub premium offering

Bottle service is a nightclub arrangement where patrons pay a premium to reserve a table and purchase entire bottles of liquor rather than individual drinks.

The price—often several times retail—buys not just alcohol but status, seating, and a server's attention: They dropped two thousand on bottle service at the club.

The practice signals wealth and grants access to VIP areas.
