The catch: prices are up sharply, with cocktails costing as much as €5 more. - Author: Frederic Roginska - Tags: Bars, Events For its 2026 edition, **Hellfest** has updated part of its bar lineup, with several brand changes across the site. The downside is that inflation has hit the entire menu, in some cases quite hard. ## What's new at the bars In **Death Alley**, near the festival entrance, **Bumbu** has replaced **Sailor Jerry** with its own bar, taking over the spot where **Sailor Jerry**'s spiced rum, a favorite among fans of old-school American tattoo art, reigned in 2025\. In the same area, **Deacon** whisky is now on the menu, replacing **Ardbeg**'s peaty profile. Meanwhile, **Hellfest Spirits** is still there, serving, among other things, frozen cocktails from **Menthe Pastille** and **Awen Nature**, including **Awen Nature**'s excellent locally made *Margarita*. **Awen Nature** has also introduced a new cocktail this year: a very on-trend *Hugo Spritz*. ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-1.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-2.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-3.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-20.jpg) In **Metal Corner**, a brand-new bar dedicated to **Teremana** tequila, **The Rock**'s brand, has popped up alongside the **Tito's Vodka** and **Jägermeister** bars that were added there last year. The **Jägermeister** bar is also now serving its new *Orange* expression. The **La Bête** self-serve taps returned for the second year in a row. And the usual favorites were back as well: the **Ricard** bar and the **Jack Daniel's** bar in particular, with the latter adding its new *Tennessee Blackberry* expression. For mixers, **Red Bull** and its *Organics* range (Tonic, Ginger Beer, Maté) are once again on duty, while the juice and smoothie bar inside the festival grounds is still there for anyone looking for a healthier option. ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-4.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-9.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-5.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-6.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-7.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-10.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-8.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-21.jpg) ## Inflation hits the festival On the downside, given the current climate, there was another change that was hard not to see coming, and one everyone could have done without: higher prices. A pint of lager (**Carlsberg**) or **Magners** is up by 50 cents and now costs €8, compared with €7.50 in 2025\. Soft drinks saw the same increase, going from €3.50 to €4, while Muscadet rose from €3 to €3.50. Spirits didn't escape the increases either: a 2 cl pour went from €3 to €4, a 4 cl pour from €6 to €7, and long drinks from €9 to €10. Juices, meanwhile, jumped from €3.50 and €7 for the regular size and the pint to €5 and €9, respectively. ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-12.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-16.jpg) And if you're the type to sip a ready-made **Beefeater* Basil Fizz*, **Havana Club* Mojito*, or **Absolut* Moscow Mule* on the festival grounds, the sticker shock is even worse: these draft cocktails, sold in 25 cl to 50 cl sizes, now cost €9 to €18 instead of €6 to €13, an increase of as much as €5. As you can imagine, that's a change we especially regret, but in the end these prices mostly just bring things in line with some of the cocktail prices already being charged at **Hell City Square** last year. ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-17.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-18.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-19.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-15.jpg) ![](https://barnews.fr/content/images/2026/06/hellfest-2026-bars-14.jpg) That said, don't let it stop you from enjoying the festival, and above all, don't forget to stay hydrated. With water, obviously.
