Is this borderline cheap?

So I was going to get together to watch a game with a friend. He lives about 25 miles away. Well he said he doesn’t feel comfortable driving and was wondering if I could come to him and from there we could go to a bar to watch, he suggested since I am coming out of my way to accommodate him to hangout, he would cover our tab, I jumped at it. In your opinion, how cheap is that? Would you have done the same thing?
