$600 for a bottle of Cris at the club? Shit, like to know what club that is at. You’d have to bring your own to get that price I’m pretty sure. When I stopped at a place called Pearson’s in Buckhead while going through ATL, they had bottles of Cris for cheap, but that’s not a club. Club’s usually want like $1,600+ just for a 1999 bottle.
