    Mixed Drink Prices on the Beach

    Inflation is everywhere but I was somewhat surprised to see places like 1 Fusion Negril (Old Errols) and The Sandbox Bar (New bar closer to ocean at NBCC) charging $1,000-1,200 JMD per mixed drink. If it were a stiff tall one I would not complain so much but a single shot in a little plastic cup for that price led me to borrowing a friend's cooler for the rest of the week and mixing my own drinks on the beach. I expect that at places like Ricks and Margarittaville but not down at this part of the beach.

    I hear you. Grey Goose or a Jack Daniels will set you back 10$ or more in many places. I ordered a wine at a lovely place on the beach and it was nothing fancy and it was 15$ but the worst part was the pour was maybe 3 ounces. Never again.

    I don't have a problem paying that for Goose or Jack. They were getting that for a standard rum and coke and standard vodka and Ting in tiny little 4oz cups.

    Yeah, My stay from this season to last season went up about 30% in food and drink (the cost of the hotel and flight was about the same)!

    When calculating the price of your drinks, please don't forget to factor in the magnificent views and cool vibe that can only be found in Negril!
    Inflation is everywhere and Negril is no exception, but it is an exceptional location!

    Enjoy,

    It always astounds me when people will pay $8-$10 a beer in the states with a view of a wall or outside busy street... And for an ocean view and sitting on the beach or cliff and they ***** about $4 a beer.

    I guess it depends what part of the states you're from. I don't pay $8-10 a beer unless I'm in Chicago or Detroit. It's more like $2.50-$5 a beer in the city I'm from.

    I would not/will not ever pay $8 - $10 dollars for a beer. Nashville prices have become ridiculous, so we quit going to Nashville.
