Say you're out having a cocktail or two after work.
Before you know it, you've racked up a tab of almost $30, and that's just for one round for you and your buddy.
Cocktails these days can run on average between $12 and $15.
Ouch.
That's the pain that makes tonight's Classic Cocktails dinner at the Ashmont Grill such a bargain.
Four courses of food -- which is normal for Ashmont Grill's Monday Night Club.
For $30 -- which is also normal (for them, if no one else).
And a classic cocktail paired with each course.
Still for $30.
RSVPs are a very good idea.
