TGI Fridays Complaint - Ripoff Report - Drinks
Drinks - Complaint
Went to TGI Fridays on a Sunday, very low traffic, we ordered 1 appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Drink a piece, and 1 Dessert. Bill was $74.00. We both had Jack Daniels Chicken an Shrimp. No Steaks. I ordered a Double shot of Seagrams Seven on the rocks, come to find out, any call drink is charged Top Shelf Prices whether it is or not which S S is NOT. Charge was $6.19 an ounce. $12.38 for a drink that is not 2 inches tall. Seagrams costs about $15.00 for a 60 ounce bottle.
$6.19 an ounce means they are selling a $15.00 bottle for $371.00. I don't mind anybody making a profit but this is BS.

What is a "call drink"?

I just asked my bf cos he use to own part of a bar...
A "call drink" is drink where you name - or call - the brand of alcohol you want, usually when you're specifying a good brand.
For example, you can get rum & coke as a "well drink" where you don't care what brand of rum they use... or you can get it as a "call drink" when you say you want a Bacardi & rum.
As for the actual prices of the alcohol per shot, that's their choice. Most bars are not open for negotiations on their pricing. It's their alcohol.

The prices of the food are clearly stated in the menu. If you had asked the price of the drinks prior to ordering, you may not have been as shocked when the menu arrived.
There is a comment above that TGIFs is below AB's in the food chain. I don't agree, after frequenting each for 2 years. AB's is as low as it gets. TGIF is midstream in casual dining. The selection is a lot better than AB's. It used to be more so before they jettisoned all the salmon entrees off the menu due to lack of popularity. The cedar smoked salmon pasta was outstanding. AB's could only dream of making a dish like that.
