Yes a beer that is made here in Kansas City, that traveled less than 5 miles, and can be bought most other places for under $5. Its hard to believe the overhead warrants $10 beers. Im not going to tell them how to conduct their business, just that they have priced me out as a customer.

Inflation is over 5% a year these days. It adds up.
Yeah - 5%, not 100%. |

Though I have no reason not to believe you, I'm calling BS. I will go to Blue Grotto later this week and order a Bob's 47 and report back. |

Had no idea Blue Grotto had turned into a strip club. Interesting!

yeah, that has to be a mistake on BG's part. blue grotto charges $9-12 for a pizza, $7-9 for a glass of wine, how could they think they could charge $10 for a beer? mayor-of-waldo: did you ask the server or bartender about it?

I did not, my wife and I were just stunned. I call them about it yesterday but they must have been closed on Sunday or not answering. |

Good question. Guess you'll just have to take a leap of faith. Or, go down there yourself. |

It was on draft. Why would I lie, what would I gain?
Someone (KC-wildcat) call and ask if they were to go in on Saturday night and order a pint of bobs how much should they expect to pay and report back?

You never said whether it was or not. It's the others that were jumping to conclusions. I was just trying to get the story from you. |

The Greek Salad was interesting and came after our hurried pizza (big no no). They basically put a heart of romaine completely intact on the plate. The crouton is actually still a bread stick. You basically have to cut it up the lettuce and bread stick into croutons. I kind of enjoyed doing it, but I figure some folks (maybe older) will be turned off by it.
I'm not an older folk at all, but this sounds unappealing. If I feel like making my own salad, I'll go to Sweet Tomatoes. And it will not be a heart of romaine. |

Not calling you a liar. Just thinking there may be more to the story. Maybe you were mischarged. Maybe it was a 32 oz glass. I just refuse to believe Blue Grotto is selling $10 12 oz. beers. I mean, their most expensive glass of wine is $10. http://www.bluegrottobrookside.com/pdf/BLUE_GROTTO_menu_19_7-16-08.pdf |

This site does not have the capacity if I posted every time I buy a beer. The reason I posted on here is because I bought 2 pints of Bobs 47 and it was fucking $20. |

Perhaps they accidentally rung it up as two Boulevard Double Wide bottles or some such larger bottle of beer.
