Kiefer Sutherland’s $700 bar tab before lunch

infphoto_1079886

It’s generally acknowledged that Kiefer Sutherland can party hard. He’s got several stints in rehab under his belt to prove it. There’s this story going around from TMZ about how Kiefer blew $700 on his bar tab from 7 in the morning until 1 o’clock in the afternoon last week. Yes, your jaw is supposed to hit the floor. But despite the way their intro paragraph makes it sound, they acknowledge he was actually just being a good guy.

Kiefer stopped in with about 30 members of the crew from 24 – after what must have been a very early shoot. He paid for everyone’s drinks, which came out to $500 (or about $16.66 per person on average); and he left a $200 tip.

Kiefer Sutherland racked up the following $700 bar tab between 7am and 1pm. Yes, those times are correct.

We’ve learned the “24” star and members of the show’s crew popped into The Spot in San Pedro, California last week after wrapping up a shoot nearby — and they were ready to get their drink on.

According to an employee at the bar, Kiefer was throwing back scotch & Cokes and bought drinks for everybody in the joint — roughly 30 people. The total damage: $500. No food … all booze.

The drinks may have been stiff, but Kiefer wasn’t — we’re told he tipped $200.

FYI: We’re told Sutherland — who has a few DUIs under his belt — was responsible this time and used a designated driver when he left the bar.

It’d be extra nice if the story were about how Kiefer nursed some ginger ales and made sure everyone had a good time. While it doesn’t seem like he’s taking his sobriety seriously, and least he’s taking his responsibility to the law more seriously. And I guess that’s something. If I were on the crew, I would have been sort of nervous about the whole thing. It just seems like he’s asking for trouble and tabloid headlines. Everything considered, it sounds like Sutherland was gracious all the way around – TMZ has some funny photos taken at the bar.

    They probably were working all night and wanted to go out and celebrate. However, the idea of scotch at 7:00 am is making my stomach turn.

  2. Firestarter says:

    As long as he isn’t driving, who cares what he does at 7am. It’s his life, his liver.

    I love this man. Good for getting a desginated driver, Kiefer! And what a nice thing to do for the crew. I guess some people can drink after being up all night – I’m not one of them, but he’s probably well loved by the crew.

    Ha ha ha!

    I want to be Kiefer’s friend!

    @Firestarter “It’s his liver!” Hardee-har-har! I have a joke I always crack up the new employees at the local ABC Liquors with, when they tell me how many “points” I’ve racked up with my booze purchase. I ask, “Do you know what you get when you reach 25-hundred points?” “No, what?” “A new liver!!!” Get’s em everytime. Kiefer could be the David Crosby of 2010, if this keeps up!

    Ummm….what’s the big deal? He’s livin’ the life and that’s what we should all do however it suits us best.

    sutherland may be a drunk, but I’ve always heard that he’s a VERY NICE drunk.

    except, of course, if you’re an unsuspecting Christmas tree.

    I had a coworker who ran into him (obliterated) with a female companion at a then Commerce; he was trying to get in but couldn’t, so she let him in. Suffice to say they had a mini encounter where he ended up saying something to her along the lines of “do you know who i am?” she replied tartly “umm [insert joe shmoe no name actor]” and he was pissed off and told her to f herself (i think that’s what he said, can’t remember exactly). But, she was joking, as if to say, who wouldn’t know who you are?! LOL…i guess he was too drunk to get the play…

    Does this guy know how to party or what?

  11. crash2GO2 says:

    Why is this even a story?

  12. TwinkleToes says:

    Firestarter, so funny. It’s time to start decoupaging that old furniture for holiday gifts and give the internet a rest. Go hiking in a park.
