I did not take a picture, but it was a single large cube. At another bar I frequent, it is referred to as a “gentlemen’s cube”.

Those are pretty cheap prices for a cocktail. Too bad they had to tick off customers with that petty ice charge.
I was with a group. I would not raise a stink unless I was alone. I was left wondering if this is the newest revenue stream now that credit card surcharges seem to be on over half the bar and restaurant tabs I receive. But no one else yet?
When my father in law orders a martini, he asks for a glass of ice on the side. It’s gonna get interesting when that happens. Is it $1 a cube?
As far as prices, I’d day they’re in the ballpark for around here, maybe a little on the high side. I ordered a “summer old fashioned” off the specials menu there last week. It featured Makers Mark and a house made honey apricot syrup. It was pretty good, but I thought $14 was on the pricy side. With simple syrup, that’s an $11 drink.
