Always drink responsibly
Know your limits: Understand how much alcohol your body can handle and listen to your body's signals. Everyone is different, towards the end of the session we sell single tokens if preferred!
Pace yourself: Take breaks between drinks and don't feel pressured to drink quickly. You have loads of time - enjoy the event, check out the live music, grab a bite!
Eat and hydrate: Drink water throughout the night and eat food to slow alcohol absorption. There is always water available at the bar, plus a range of soft drinks, tea and coffee and alcohol free options!
Plan for safe transport: Never drive after drinking. Use ride-sharing services, taxis, or public transportation. If you're in a group, designate a driver.
