Papi Steak restaurant in Miami Beach is going viral for serving a cocktail and caviar inside of an Hermès Birkin bag, but there's more to it than meets the eye. In a video shared to TikTok on May 19, content creator Mister Lewis visits the restaurant and asks what the most expensive cocktail is. A server replies that Papi Streak's new drink, titled "It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail," is presented with caviar inside an orange Birkin bag and has a price tag of $33,000. Commenters on TikTok had a lot to say about the viral drink, with many referencing the notorious exclusivity of Birkin bags. "$33,000 and apparently this is still somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin," one user joked. However, the menu item doesn't actually come with that steep of a cost. While it's served in a bag worth tens of thousands, the customer doesn't get to keep the famed Hermès creation. "The bag is more art/inspiration and the cocktail itself only costs $150," a representative of the restaurant tells PEOPLE over email. "It arrives tableside, with two glasses — one for the cocktail and another for the caviar pairing," they further explained. "The cocktail is poured table side and caviar is served on top of ice in the second glass." The drink is available to purchase anytime during service and there's no limit on the number that can be served.

"Papi Steak is all about luxury with a twist of entertainment. Much like our famous Beefcase was inspired by Pulp Fiction, this cocktail concept takes a cue from Sex and the City. Everyone's always wondered, 'What's in that bag?' Now they get to find out." Einhorn notes that the drink has been incredibly popular. "We can't make enough of them!" he says. "Each night outperforms the last." The co-owner continues, "Papi Steak is more than a restaurant; it's a full entertainment and dining destination, and this cocktail has become yet another iconic, Instagram-worthy moment to complement an unforgettable meal."

Ritzy, celeb-fave restaurant sells a $33K cocktail — and it comes with a Birkin bag
It's top-shelf and top-of-the-line. An exclusive restaurant in Miami sent many into a spiral after revealing a cocktail that comes with a $33,000 price tag — and a Birkin bag. Content creator Mister Lewis asked a server what the most expensive drink on the menu was at Papi Steak in Miami Beach. 4 A cocktail at Papi Steak in Miami costs $33,000 and comes with a Birkin bag. Instagram/papisteak The drink, called 'It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail,' features a cocktail consisting of Belvedere 10 Vodka, grapefruit oil saccharum, and Lillet Blanc with a peach garnish and side of caviar — served inside a Birkin bag. However, the ritzy drink doesn't have to come with the Birkin. The cocktail alone costs $150 — pennies compared to the $33,000 charge with the classy clutch. The video quickly went viral, with many noting that this hefty drink might be 'somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin.' A Birkin bag, which is considered the 'one of the most coveted objects of recent decades,' is notoriously hard to get — and due to its exclusivity, people tend to spend thousands on thousands of dollars on other Hermès products before they can even think about getting a Birkin. That's because while technically anyone can ask a sales associate about the elite bag, Hermès reserves it for a limited amount of select customers, typically those who have a repeat purchase history with the brand. 'Does Hermès know they are offering Birkins with cocktails now? So much for exclusive and elevated,' another commenter quipped. 4 The cocktail is served in a Birkin bag. Instagram/papisteak Another claimed that ordering the drink to get the Birkin 'is actually smart, he probably got a Birkin for cheaper and is making profit of it.' While Hermès doesn't list the retail prices of Birkin bags, according to Sotheby's, the smallest one, the Birkin 25, costs $12,100 for a Togo leather bag at brand boutiques in the United States, while the Birkin 30 in Togo leather costs $13,300. However, secondary market prices tend to range between $28,000 and $30,000 for one bag, though it depends on the model and material — and some can exceed $100,000. 4 'It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail' consists of Belvedere 10 Vodka, grapefruit oil saccharum, and Lillet Blanc with a peach garnish and side of caviar. Instagram/papisteak Meanwhile, some commenters on Lewis' video are skeptical that the Birkin bag given at the restaurant — a venue beloved by celebrities such as Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sofia Vergara and Hailey Bieber — is even real. 'Anyone else think the bag they're serving it in is the fake one, and the real one is in the box? Why would they fill a real f–king Birkin with drinks? Lol,' one questioned. 4 Tiffany Trump celebrated her 27th birthday at Miami's Papi Steak in 2020. Instagram/davideinhorn 'Bag made in China for about 80 dollars,' another claimed. 'The Birkin is fake … this bag on the video doesn't have the Hermès logo … look up pics before you guys all go crazy,' someone alleged. 'That's not even a Birkin, it's a dupe. No logo or anything on the bag,' another eagle-eyed user pointed out. But as one user smartly summed it up, patrons are getting a '$10 drink [and a] $32,990 bag.'

Exclusive Miami restaurant loved by Trump's daughters shocks fans by selling $33,000 Birkin cocktail
An exclusive, celebrity-beloved Miami restaurant has shocked the internet by selling a $33,000 cocktail that comes with a secret ingredient. Content creator Mister Lewis visited Papi Steak in Miami and asked the server what their most expensive drink was. The server explained It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail sells for $33,000 if the diner opts to also purchase the Birkin bag it comes with - otherwise, it's $150 for the Belvedere 10 cocktail with a peach garnish that comes with its own side of caviar. A bottle of Belvedere 10 retails for around $140. Mister Lewis, who calls himself a 'luxury connoisseur,' often shares viral videos where he visits bars, restaurants, and high-end grocery stores and opts for the priciest menu option. He quickly went viral on TikTok when he shared a video procuring the cocktail and the Birkin bag, which is famously difficult to buy. In fact, most people must spend thousands on other Hermes products before they are offered a Birkin, which means the accessories go for thousands of dollars on the resale market. Commenters had a field day, with some exclaiming that it's the best way to buy a Birkin - although others thought it could be a dupe. '$33,000 and apparently this is still somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin,' one person said, asking, 'You get to keep it right?' 'Does Hermes knows they are offering Birkins with cocktails now?' a commenter questioned. 'So much for exclusive and elevated,' they complained. Another summed it up as a $10 drink with a $32,990 bag. 'I'm sorry but that bag is very fake,' an angry commenter claimed, as another said it did not appear to have the Hermès logo. While it's possible the restaurant chain procured the exclusive bag on its own, one fashion fan explained that the design house 'would never license a restaurant to sell their most exclusive product.' They continued: 'Just picture it, a place where dishes are washed, foods are fried, and margaritas are shaken... selling BIRKINS.' Papi Steak shared its own video showcasing the cocktail on Instagram with plenty of Hermès boxes, telling followers 'It's not just a bag.' The restaurant is known for its over-the-top menu items, including the viral $1,000 'Beef Case' Steak Tomahawk-cut that's a spectacle complete with changing lights throughout the entire building to celebrate the lavish order. The 93-seat chophouse delivers an innovative dining experience that has made it a hit with celebrities. The restaurant, with locations in Miami and Las Vegas, boasts a whole slew of celebrity fans, including Ivanka Trump, her younger half-sister Tiffany, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sofia Vergara, Hailey Bieber, and John Travolta. In fact, Tiffany celebrated her 27th birthday at the 'high energy steakhouse.' Co-owner David Einhorn presented her with an enormous three-tiered cake decorated with with nearly a dozen photos taken from her Instagram account. Ivanka and her son Joseph, 10, were spotted dining there in March.

John Travolta Joins Lala Kent's Ex Randall Emmett for $1,000 Steak
Remember when was known for playing pickleball and hanging out with the Vanderpump Rules cast? Of course, at the time, he was still together with his ex-fiancée, Lala Kent. And he seemed to enjoy being on camera. So, finding out that Randall was hanging out with made me … confused. Allow me to explain. As you may recall, Lala dumped Randall when he allegedly cheated on her. He was also having financial difficulties. The couple shares one daughter, Ocean Kent. Recently, after an exhausting three-year custody battle, Randall and Lala came to a custody agreement. So how does Randall know John? It turns out that Randall directed John in the film Cash Out, but under a pseudonym. Reportedly, Randall directed the film under the flashy name 'Ives.' Here is where it gets interesting. John went to Papi Steak Miami Beach, which is co-owned by David 'Papi' Einhorn and Dave Grutman, to try a new menu item – the Beefcase. Randall was there, as was rapper Quavo. According to PEOPLE, Randall directed both Quavo and John in the film High Rollers. As you may recall, John starred in the 1994 iconic film Pulp Fiction. In the movie, John played Vincent Vega, who joined Samuel L. Jackson's character, Jules Winnfield, on a quest to find a special briefcase. In one of the most memorable scenes in the movie, Vincent opened a rhinestone-covered briefcase. While the audience couldn't see the contents, Vincent seemed happy enough. So, John popped in to try the new dish, which is an homage to the movie. A huge piece of beef is presented in a gold-plated briefcase. Yum? Plus, John and Dave Einhorn reenacted the legendary scene, with John nodding his head after opening the case and checking out the meat. If you want to live your own Pulp Fiction fantasy, it will cost you. The steak costs a cool $1,000. For that amount of money, I expect John to reenact the scene and recreate the iconic dance scene. And throw in a royale with cheese! Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock. TELL US – WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE 'BEEFCASE?' ARE YOU SURPRISED RANDALL IS WORKING WITH JOHN? The post John Travolta Joins Lala Kent's Ex Randall Emmett for $1,000 Steak appeared first on Reality Tea.
