Surprisingly they don't gouge you on liquor like they do on soda, water, cotton candy, churro's, etc... The pours are healthy too on straight drinks. The foo-foo drinks I'm not sure about, I avoid them.
Originally Posted By inlandemporer I'm quite surprised, and pleased. I always figured they'd mark it up big time like they do sodas and snacks. Also, I thought the price of drinks was going to be high to discourage drinking too many and thus having drunken park guests. But maybe the Cove Bar is still kind of a secret to a lot of people. Wonder how much they'll charge for beers at the beer garden? That won't be secret at all. Speaking of which, how much is a beer at the Cove Bar? And isn't there a beer wagon (Karl Strauss) there now? I think it was closed when I went. How much is a beer there?
Originally Posted By Zwitek I'm not real excited by the beer garden, especially if I end up paying more for a whiskey (if they even bother carrying it). Not sure how much the beer is at the Cove Bar, all of my pals are liquor drinkers. I'm guessing whatever the price is, it'll be much higher at the beer garden, and it'll be in a plastic cup (Cove Bar drinks are in honest to goodness glasses).
