Those purchasing VIP tickets can choose from wine, beer and house liquor mixed drinks in London, only. VIP guests may not leave the top floor with more than one drink in their hand, in order to limit sharing of drinks with General Admission patrons, but may, of course, feel free to travel to all 3 floors!
