Night of fun costs Gronk, crew $ 102K

-

It’s hard to imagine going to a bar and finishing the night with a six- figure tab. But, we all can’t be Rob Gronkowski.

According to TMZ, the New England Patriots tight end and his crew had a fun weekend at Shrine nightclub at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticu­t, where Gronk turned up shirtless with rapper Flo Rida.

The gossip site reported that Gronkowski and his group of about 20 people racked up a tab of $ 102,407. Just drinks. No filet mignon or diamond rings included. TMZ published the itemized receipt and a representa­tive at the Shrine confirmed the receipt is legit.

How on earth do 20 guys, even if they’re all profession­al partiers like Gronk, run up $ 102,000 in alcohol? Well, you start with 160 bottles of champagne, according to TMZ. Bottle service at a club isn’t cheap; 15 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose cost Gronk and Co. $ 27,000. Then you add on things such as 15 Grey Goose Magnum bottles of vodka ($ 10,400), 45 orders of Maker’s Mark bourbon ($ 540), 24 shots of Jim Beam Fire whiskey ($ 264) and other various items here and there.

One would assume every guest at the club spent time at Gronk’s table, because it’s impossible for 20 dudes to each drink $ 5,120.35 worth of liquor by themselves in one night. Although if anyone can do it, it’d be Gronk and those who can keep up with him. The tab was closed at 2: 02 a. m. EST early Sunday morning, according to the receipt published by TMZ.

How much fun one man can have when he’s not playing football is something at which to marvel.
