Pair spend £130k in three-hour drinking session

Bar staff were left stunned after two Russian businessmen spent more than £130,000 (€152,000) during a staggering three-hour drinking session.

The two men, in their 30s, left staff at the upmarket Embassy nightspot in Mayfair with hefty tips after going head-to-head to see who could accrue the larger bar tab.

The multimillionaires, who are believed to have made their money in the oil industry, were accompanied by an entourage of around a dozen friends when they arrived at the venue.
