It looks like an ordinary bar order — until the caption reveals they were charged a staggering $42.50 for the two beverages.
Choosing not to “name and shame” the establishment, he shared a photo of the drinks and described the cost to his 131,000 Instagram followers.
“A rose and a pint was $42.50 at a bar tonight,” his caption read.
“You got to feel for bars competing with wage increases, product increases and taxes.“But $42.50????? I just told my wife to drink slowly ‘cause there’s no second round!!”
Stunned followers fled to the comments, with one writing: “I would have said where is the rest of the bottle for that price”.
“I think you got ripped off — even if that was a 250ml pour on the rose it would be $18 at the most. Pretty sure your beer was not over $20,” a second said.
“That has to be a mistake! Did you question the price of each?” another said.
“Ridiculous,” a comment said, as another added, “Out of control”.
7NEWS.com.au has reached out to Cosi, Australian Hotels Association and The South Australian Business Chamber for comment.
Costello’s show South Aussie with Cosi, which screens on Channel 7 in South Australia, has been on air since 2011.
The show showcases regional and city travel destinations but also promotes South Australian businesses, local lifestyle, well-being, community spirit, state history and everything in between.
