You're in a really ritzy house of ill repute when it boasts a ballroom and dining room.  Supper parties were often extravagant affairs where champagne flowed and the diners feasted on quail.  Beer cost $1 bottle, which is about $19 in today's money.  However, this proved the standard price along "the line."  Many of the brothel visitors must've tried to bring their own liquid refreshments.
