Is beer available at the beach and hotel bars in Egypt resorts?

In September 2026 a guest at one hotel wrote that the beach bars have the same selection as the hotel bars: beer, whisky, gin, wine and various cocktails. Everything is locally produced, and she rated the quality as mediocre.

In late August 2026 a guest described one resort: Regency beach (red wristbands) has a snack bar with draft beer, which guests with gold and silver wristbands can also use. Gold and silver guests also have a separate beach where beer is served in bottles.

In late August 2026 a guest said that at his hotel's beach glass had been removed, as he understood it for safety: everything is poured into plastic cups, beer in portions of about 200 ml. If that is not enough, he suggested waiting for the food court to open, where cold cans of beer are always available; he himself stopped at the lobby bar before the beach and took 2–3 cans of Heineken from bartenders he knew.

About signing receipts: in August 2026 a guest at the beach was brought a beer and asked to sign a receipt. Another guest replied that this is normal — staff need the signature for their records; she signed too and had no outstanding charges at checkout. If staff say 'Extra', however, the drink is paid.

A thermo mug is handy: in August 2026 a guest wrote that for some reason the beach bar at his hotel was not pouring, while the other bars filled a 0.5 L thermo mug without any problem. Another reply that month advised bringing thermo mugs for beer or other drinks — any locally bottled drink of your choice is poured.

In early August 2026 a guest wrote that on the way to the beach the bar on the veranda makes drinks to take away, though it is not convenient to keep running there from the beach.

Asked whether beer can be bought before 13:00 and at what price, a guest replied in early August 2026: a bottle of Stella costs $3 at the hotel, and in the Old Town you can haggle it down to $1.5.

In late July 2026 a guest wrote that bottled beer is poured at the lobby bar, and at the pool and beach you can ask for it to be brought — but the waiters come neither quickly nor often.

In July 2026 a guest described his hotel: there are many bars — at every pool, on the beach and in the lobby. In the lobby, at the main pool and on the beach bottled beer is poured on request; at the other bars, straight away. He liked the sports bar most; cocktails are best there and in the lobby. Imported alcohol is only available for money; spirits are sometimes poured into plastic unless you ask otherwise in advance. According to him, they pour generously.

In July 2026 a guest noted that the beach bar of the new building at her hotel serves good, tasty cocktails, yet few people go there.

Serving hours: at one beachfront hotel, according to an early July 2026 message, there are several bars and practically all are on the beach; beer is served from 12:00 and other alcohol from 10:00.

In early July 2026 a guest wrote that her hotel has a pool bar, and the beach bar, which used to serve only soft drinks, now serves alcohol too. It is near the Al Fresco restaurant.

In early July 2026 a guest wrote that the beer at his hotel varies: most often bottled Five Stars, which is tasty. At the beach there is sometimes draft beer, which is noticeably plainer and not tasty; once he saw bottled Stella. Beer often runs out and does not have time to chill.

In early July 2026 a guest reported that the beach at his hotel had non-alcoholic beer — few people know about it, and bartenders brought it out from under the counter. He had not tried it himself.

In late June 2026 a guest wrote about one hotel: at the beach and pool only local Egyptian draft lager is free, while imported canned beer is paid only. The guest did not comment on the quality.

In late June 2026 a guest said that at beach No. 4 of his hotel beer and cocktails are free. If you give the bartender a dollar a day, he pours local Stella from a can — tasty and not too fizzy — while the tap beer is very fizzy. In the evening beer is free at the reception bar and during the mini disco and show.

In late June 2026 a guest described the cocktails at her hotel: the alcohol is local but decent, and the farther a bar is from reception, the worse the cocktails. The best are in the lobby, acceptable at the main pool, poor at the water park and beach (a mojito made with syrup and whisky). The lobby bar is open 24 hours, but there is nothing to eat at night.

A tip from June 2026: the easiest way is to agree with the beach bartender — give him two dollars and ask him to bring five cold bottles over the course of the day.

In June 2026 a guest wrote that at the beach decent beer is poured from bottles, so it cannot be watered down, but portions are small, it is often warm and sometimes runs out.

Paid beach bars also exist. In September 2026 a guest described her hotel's beach bar: enter the beach, turn left, and right after the playground there is a bar — snacks and paid drinks on the right, free drinks on the left. In June 2026 another traveler quoted reviews of one hotel: wine during the day only at the reception bar and the restaurant, alcohol at the beach and pool bars paid, and beer poured into small paper cups of about 100 g.

In June 2026 a guest wrote that the best beer at her hotel is at the 16+ pool: for a one-dollar tip they pour a full glass and can bring it to your room.

In June 2026 a guest wrote that at the Sentido hotel the beach bartender comes up to guests himself and asks whether to bring more beer; the author admitted he tipped him regularly. At another hotel, a guest said bottled beer is poured at the upper pool and at a small beach bar, and a friend of hers found it decent.

Opinions on beer quality differ. In mid-June 2026 one guest wrote that the beer at his hotel was fine, though he did not risk drinking the other alcohol and had brought whisky with him. Another guest at the same time called the beer 'of unknown origin' and complained about poorly washed glasses.
