london mariott. £5 for half a litre of water at a meal there. The waiters were used about 12 or so of these (there were 8 of us and it was my sisters 21st family meal) to keep our glasses topped up all night and 'forgot' to tell us that we would be charged for them.
Umh, possibly - it was Molly something I believe. It was just round the corner from my Dad's office, always packed. Seemingly a notorious 'pick up' bar too.
I just wasn't a big fan of the city nor the Moscovites. It didn't help that I've only been in the dead of winter mind. There are some good places, and the night life is fun but still my least favourite city I've visited.
Kiev though, strangely, is brilliant...

50€ for two single vodka redbulls in Pacha in Ibiza. 9€ for a bottle of water as well.
Yes because of the expats it's known as a 'pick up' bar hence why I try to avoid it. Also you need to get here in summer, though partying in winter is good fun here some of the summer bars and terraces are excellent.
If Moscow is your least favourite city you need to travel in Russia more when you're out here next

Don't know about the dearest but when I was in Taiwan about 10-12 years ago the beer equated to 65p per bottle. And the bottles were three times larger than ours. And twice as strong.
Taiwan's the place for beer.

Bought a round of 4 cocktails in a s****y west london place, was around £100.
Most ive spent on 1 drink was single JD + single sambuca + single jager + red bull...£8 and bloody gorgeous 
If its £3 a pint i generally wont pay it, i work for a beer delivery company, i know how much the stuff costs so am not paying £3 for a pint of carling, not a prayer

I think I paid £2.50 for a single vodka mixer once (normally 1-1.50)... Thats about the most expensive I've ever experienced (isnt a cheap student).
€8 a beer in the French Alps, which given with how the Euro and Sterling were earlier this year was pretty much almost £8.
Sure, that's not the most expensive drink, but considering it's only a beer... and not even a pint, it's pretty weak!
I did also once have drinks in a posh bar in Marbella where we ordered a very simple drink which somebody made up called Chocolate Monkeys. It was a chocolate milkshake with banana liquor in it. The bar was part of a hotel, so they sent to the kitchen for the milkshake part and then the bartender just mixed the liquor in. We drank them and then ordered another round for the five of us. The final bill for just those drinks was £100, with each drink being £10!
Glad I wasn't paying on that one!

bottel of carva for £190 :/
I will never understand paying that for a pint in a posh place in Monaco (or Southern France for that matter) when the street / beach side cafes and restaurants have much better food and the same alcohol for normal prices.
