A TikToker claims he was "robbed" after being asked to pay almost £40 for two vodka lemonades at a London bar.
In the video, which has more than 140,000 likes, user YouBoyMoyo says he couldn't believe it when private members bar Arts Club in Mayfair charged him the hefty amount.
"Someone call the feds, someone call the police. I've been robbed.," he says
"I've complained about London being expensive before but this is a whole other level of jinky minky. This is a whole different level of discombobulation."
He then goes on to explain how he was invited to a listening party for singer Kehlani's upcoming album. He began enjoying the free bar but wanted to buy another drink for him and his friend after that had ended, My London reports.
"This is the shambolic of shambolics," he continued.
"I even left it two days just for it to marinate in my brain so I can process what went on.
"I got invited to Kehlani's listening party in Mayfair, Mayfair London. Already from Monopoly I know Mayfair is the most expensive. It was a free bar, I was enjoying my life. But now we had to start paying for drinks."
He says he decided on a vodka lemonade each, thinking it would cost at most £7. But to his horror, he was then asked to pay just shy of £40.
Moyo added: "Tell me why he showed me the card machine and I'm seeing nearly £40? I said, eh?" He then shows the receipt, with the bill coming to a total of £39.10 for the drinks.
It appears the two shots of vodka came to £28, while the lemonade was £6, with an added £5.10 service charge on top. Moyo then said his friend paid the bill without looking.
"I screamed! But inside I was celebrating," he says, before adding: "That vodka better have cured cancer."
A number of TikTok users commented on his video saying a bottle of the Ketel One vodka he was served could be found for as little as £22 online.
Another said they hoped he asked for the service charge to be removed, to which he replied: "I was too shocked! My body was taking screenshots. And remember my friend tapped his card without checking."
The Arts Club, which has been approached for comment, describes itself as a distinguished private members club, home to a community of discerning thinkers and thought leaders, with a shared appreciation of the arts and culture.
