The Florida Panthers had a party to remember after taking home their second-consecutive Stanley Cup.
Two days after hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup for the second season in a row, the Panthers took over E11EVEN nightclub in Miami on Thursday, June 19, for an absolute rager.
During a Tuesday, June 24 appearance on the “Spittlin’ Chiclets” podcast, Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk reflected on the extravaganza, revealing the crew racked up a bar tab of $500,000. Better yet, the nightclub took care of the entire bill for the team.
From our partners:
“We’re treated pretty well there,” Panthers forward Sam Reinhart added. “They do a good job. They’re classy.”

It’s not difficult to run up a big bar tab at E11EVEN where, according to its website, a 1-liter bottle of Ketel One vodka costs $495 and a six-pack of domestic beer goes for $60.
Panthers forward Brad Marchand also joined the interview, which the teammates joined virtually from a pool in the Bahamas.
Marchand, 37, went viral for his behavior at the party, where he was seen on video being forcibly stopped from re-entering the nightclub by his teammate and Panthers captain, Aleksander Barkov.
“I had to go back and f***ng bring it, boys,” Marchand said. “I know you guys have been there. You don’t leave E11EVEN before you get kicked out.”
Since winning the Cup last week, Reinhart, 29, joked that he had only slept for “a couple hours.”
“A couple late afternoon naps to go again,” Reinhart said of the non-stop partying. “It’s been a heck of a ride.”
He added, “Our team doc has been very busy helping the boys trying to get their voices back.”
According to the Miami Herald, the Panthers hit up E11EVEN after a dinner for 40 at Maple & Ash, inside downtown Miami’s World Center.

The players and guests ate from the restaurant’s IDGAF Chef’s Menu, which includes dry-aged meatballs, bone-in ribeye and lobster spaghetti followed by chocolate cake, coconut cream pie and raspberry macarons.
Once they made it to E11EVEN, the Herald reported that rapper Rick Ross sent over a 15-liter bottle of his Belaire champagne, which the Panthers sprayed all over the nightclub.
The Stanley Cup trophy even made an appearance inside the club, which Marchand hoisted as he crowd surfed to Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club,” which had become an anthem for the Edmonton Oilers, who the Panthers defeated for the second straight year in the Stanley Cup Finals.
As Reinhart explained on the podcast, “I don’t think you can party without that song playing throughout the day.”
