TL;DR
Beer in Sharm El Sheikh is better value bought in bulk with some bargaining: in early August 2026 a traveler paid $35 for 20 bottles of 0.5 L Heineken from a seller near the hotel and $32 in Naama Bay. At Posh Club the welcome alcohol in the room was free, but an ice bucket and chips via room service cost $3 and $2. At beaches, according to an August 2026 report, entry is about $4 and you can bring your own drinks.
At beaches, according to a traveler in August 2026, entry is about $4 everywhere; at El Fanar beach near the lighthouse the price includes a 0.5 L bottle of water. Bringing your own food and drinks, he said, is allowed everywhere.
A traveler's tip from early August 2026: if you don't like the local draft beer, buy a lot at once and bargain. For 20 bottles of 0.5 L Heineken they paid $35 to a seller near the hotel, and in Naama Bay they haggled down to $32 — the seller agreed reluctantly.
At the Posh Club hotel, according to a guest in August 2026, there was complimentary alcohol in the room at check-in, including a bottle of sparkling wine. But when she ordered an ice bucket and chips to the room, the chips cost $2 (they are free in the club restaurant) and the ice bucket $3. Room service there is charged.
In reply, another guest shared his experience: there were two packs of chips in the room at check-in, and restocking on request from a list was free — including four cans of beer and a pack of coffee-machine capsules. He advised taking such requests directly to hotel staff rather than posting in a group chat.
The ice bar, according to a late-July 2026 review, will appeal to children too: it is made entirely of ice, guests get a warm coat, and admission includes one drink — alcoholic or non-alcoholic. There is no food, so treat it as an experience rather than a dinner spot.
