Good value for money if you want lots of drinks. 4pm-6pm is happy hour anyway so for the same price as the bottomless drinks package you could have 2 x $15 cocktails each and 2 small plates. I think the bottomless drinks would be better being across 4 hours so drinks can be consumed more slowly and more food would also be purchased. Just a thought. My partner is a slow drinker normally so she unfortunately crashed and burned early with an increased consumption rate!
