How much cash do you guys need for a night out on a Saturday?

My household was actually embroiled in an intense debate over this very topic today. As you can tell by my current situation, I didn't end up going anywhere because my husband refuses to step foot outside unless he has at least $167 tucked away in his pocket! Personally, I find that requirement a bit excessive; I would be perfectly happy heading out with significantly less.
I am quite interested to hear your thoughts on this, especially from married couples who still make an effort to go out together!
Honestly, your husband sounds reasonable, particularly when considering the two of you are heading out together. For me, whenever I decide to hit the town, my absolute minimum budget is $167, and even then, I have to watch every penny. You have to factor in the cover charge at a club or a lounge, buying a round for someone—which, mind you, means you’re obligated to return the favor later if you live in the same city—and finally, ensuring I have enough left in the morning to grab something to eat, like a breakfast sandwich from a diner. So, we are looking at $167 minimum, and that is assuming you spend the entire night sprinting away from people you actually know.
