How much would a bottle of beer cost in a trucker bar like Bob's Country Bunker?


In the scene at Bob's Country Bunker, the band (which consists of about 10 members) drinks $300 worth of beer. Like the headline says, how much would a bottle of beer cost in a trucker bar like Bob's Country Bunker circa 1980?

I can't imagine more than a dollar, dollar fifty. I doubt they were drinking expensive import beers or anything like that.

Well if it was $1.50 a bottle, then around 22 bottles a piece give or take.

About 50 cents a bottle. Less for the cheap stuff they'd be drinking.
It's kind of the joke. It's more beer than any person could consume. About 50 beers per person.

They also liked Don Julio 1942 Tequila which explained the high bar tab
