What is the unlimited drink package? Is it just beer? Do they have cocktails? How much is it?

April 5, 2018|

AnswerShow all 5 answers

Yes, they have different packages and different prices. Yes or yes is one per person and I’m pretty sure the unlimited includes beer. I don’t remember well but we had something unlimited and we had beer.
