Weird Experience

Should they even be charging tax on alcohol? Not the case in KY.

Indiana alcohol laws are very strange Matt, if you order from the actual bar itself you normally do not get charged tax, from a table (ala server) then you get charged tax...don't ask me...

Thanks for giving me another reason to be glad I dont drink. 8 bucks for a beverage is ridiculous. Unless it's 2 or 3 gallons of said beverage.

sometimes the quality of a thing is more valued than the quantity of it.

Indeed. Drink less, drink better ... or was that drink more, still drink better?

In Ky, every establishment pays a sales tax on alcohol. If you as a customer do not pay it, it is considered inclusive on your drink. It's for transaction simplicity and tradition. But they are always paying the gov. 6% for every drink. I know of several Ky places that bill the tax to the customer.

Re all the upcharges - I feel like a rube cause I didn't know about them at all.
Re Speakeasy - off my list of potential dining spots due to deceptive bills (don't fret owners, we don't eat out much).
Re the haikus - thank you, they were great.

High praise due to excellent summary!
