not sure why this is even news ... Gronk is just the party guy who gets a lot of public attention ... I'm sure once he retires, he will have his own reality show following him aroundRob Gronkowski has never shied away from making news, being seen or having a good time while away from the game. And no one spares no expense to have a good time or makes more news having a good time then the Patriots tight end. This includes reportedly running up a bar tab in excess of six figures.
Per a report from TMZ Sports, Gronkowski, shirtless, and 20 of his closest friends enjoyed the libations offered by the Shrine Nightclub at the Foxwoods Resort and Casino. He and his group reportedly ordered a staggering 160 bottles of champagne on their way to a $102,407 bar tab this past weekend. That’s not all, though. Reportedly, 16 bottles of Grey Goose, three bottles of Don Julio and 24 shots of Jim Beam Fire were also among the libations enjoyed by the Gronkowski party group.
As Charean Williams of ProFootballTalk points out, the NFL players union made a point at their recent rookie gathering for young players to emulate the tight end in the selling and marketing of themselves. Perhaps no player in the league goes out of his way to be seen quite like Gronk.

I'm pretty sure team dinners at expensive restaurants usually run this much. It's a lot of dough, sure, but not really a major dent considering they likely budgeted for that.
I want to a few Nightclubs with friends (though I normally wouldn't go, not my thing) but what it cost blows my mind. Lucky for me I only had to throw in for the Tip (which is still more than a normal night out).
$100k does not seem to be outrageous to a guy making what he makes. It will likely be a small dent in the endorsement from Don Julio deal that Gronk eventually gets.
My thoughts, good for him. Enjoy yourself, you have all season to work.
