Love places that allow this.

I worked at Flemings in BR when it first opened. They had to stop letting people bring in wine because they were buying $10 bottles of KJ chard and bringing those in. The corkage fee was more than the cost of the wine.

I have debated (and skirted corkage fees) for bringing beer in. Lots of restaurants have zero beer selection so it makes sense in some regard. Hell, some of the beers have been 750ml bottles with a cork so who would know different.

Up in the tri state area, a lot of restaurants don't have liquor licenses so they invite you to byob.
I've done it at EAT in Nola as well.
I don't consider it cheap if I don't show up with a cheap bottle.

You think chilis charges a fee if I bring a bottle of mad dog 20/20?

I can't imagine.
That Banana Red is going to pair well with those southwest egg rolls.

Think they only let you bring in Moscato, is aint all trashy and shite.

I've never done it, but I wouldn't hesitate to bring a nice bottle. If the restaurant has the policy in place, then what's the big deal?
And of course I'm not talking about bringing a cheap bottle because you are cheap.

joeleblanc Bringing your own wine to the restaurant. Yea or nay? my statement stands. as mentioned, do you bring you own steak to a steakhouse? Your own fish to seafood restaurant? It in bad taste. I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't have a liquor license(even a crawfish joint sells beer for gods sake). where do you people eat? lol
Well I ate crawfish at an East Texas place Friday night that has no liquor license and is byob. I also caught a bunch of speckled trout in Corpus Christy a few weeks ago and we dropped them off at the restaurant and returned later after cleaning up to feast on them six different ways. I also saw a place on tv in I believe Michigan where you bring your own steak and pay for a grill , the sides and liquor.
New Orleans, Philadelphia and San Francisco are three cities with many great restaurants from neighborhood joints to fine dining that have no liquor licenses for various reasons.
It is not in bad taste. It is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. If you had a restaurant with no liquor license and didn't allow it you wouldn't be in business long.
You need to get out more Joel.

yeah, there are a few places where i live that it is necessary to bring wine or whatever to drink.

Exactly. In Montclair NJ there's a place called Cuban Pete's that encourages you to bring your own bottle, in which they make you a pitcher of sangria in front of you at your table. That's their thing.
If you're ever up there, it's a fantastic restaurant.

It is common practice. Yelp, Urbanspoon and most restaraunt web sites post their corkage policy. If they don't, I would call ahead. I would also not take a cheap wine to a nicer place.
This thread quickly developed into the game of "spot the 30k millionaire who has only traveled to Destin & Disney".
Lots of places that are waiting or not wanting to deal with a liquor license openly encourage you to BYOB.

I agree with the majority here. If it is a special bottle, bring it. I would make it a point to order a bottle from the restaurant also though.

I do it all the time. I'll usually review the restaurant's list ahead of time. If I don't see a wine on there that I've heard of, I'll bring my own. I hate going to a restaurant and dropping $150 on a nice dinner and I'm stuck drinking a $60 bottle of wine that I don't care for. I'd rather just bring my own and pay the fee. If I bring my own, it's usually a bottle in the $30-$60 range.

Yeah you right. If 2 week trips to Thailand and lots of fine dining is cheap, then ya got me. Ya got the tater!
