One fan posted an image of the bar menu on X, former Twitter, with the post gaining mixed reactions.
Some people even dubbed the prices "absolutely disgusting" while others found them reasonable.
A double shot of a spirit with a mixer will set punters back a whopping £13.
Pints of draught cider and beer will cost festivalgoers from £6.95 to £7.20.
Last year, visitors had to fork out £6.75 for the same drinks.

Burrow Hill is the most bargain pint on the menu this year, coming to £1.91 per unit.
Compared to last year, prices have gone up from 20p to 40p on average.
However, soft drinks like Cola Cola, Lemonade and Apple juice have remained at the same price of £3 for half-pint.

One person said: "Wow, that's expensive."
Another one added:"£6 for a can of brothers which is like £1.50 in Tesco."
A third person wrote: " Robbing b*****ds"
However, others came to the defence of the festival bars, saying that the prices are "not bad".
One fan wrote: "That's not bad considering it's a festival."
Another person said: "Still cheaper than some pubs I've been to."
A third one added: "Much better than other festivals and gigs this year!"
While booze prices may be deemed steep, they are still marginally cheaper than many venues in London where pints are often in excess of £7.

Drivers heading to hugely popular festival this weekend warned of hefty fines for dangerous mistake on the motorway
National Highways has reminded drivers of the potential fines for dangerous behaviour FESTIVAL FINE Drivers heading to hugely popular festival this weekend warned of hefty fines for dangerous mistake on the motorway Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MUSIC lovers excited for this weekend's Creamfields festival have been warned to avoid making a silly mistake on the motorway which could result in a nasty fine. The electronic dance music festival, a four-day event held annually on the August Bank Holiday weekend in Daresbury, Cheshire, is located near Junction 11 of the M56 motorway. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Drivers heading to Creamfields warned of motorway dangers and fines Credit: Getty 5 National Highways has urged festivalgoers to avoid illegal motorway behaviour this weekend Credit: Getty 5 Creamfields attendees advised to follow event signs to car parks and avoid sat nav errors Credit: Getty 5 Expect delays near M56 Junctions 10 to 12 during Creamfields weekend Credit: Getty - Contributor 5 Reading and Leeds Festival is also set to bring busy roads over Bank Holiday Credit: Getty - Contributor And for those travelling by car, National Highways has reminded drivers of the potential fines for dangerous behaviour, which can sometimes occur due to eagerness to arrive. Their warning stems from pedestrians walking on the motorway or vehicles stopping to drop off or pick up passengers - which is illegal and highly dangerous. Offenders who are caught doing this may be fined, with those arriving by car instructed to use designated collection points which are clearly marked off the motorway. To this end, drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys to avoid congestion, while also following dedicated event signs - rather than relying on sat nav systems which may lead them onto unsuitable roads. For the event, extra police and National Highways traffic officers will be stationed near junction 11 of the M56 to manage traffic and ensure safety. Car parks for the festival site will open at midday on Thursday and close at 2 pm on Monday. Traffic from the north, south and east are urged to use junction 11 of the M56, while traffic from the west should use junction 12. Congestion hotspots include junctions 10, 11 and 12 of the M56 and the M56/M6 interchange at Lymm are expected to be particularly busy. Electronic motorway signs will be used to provide real-time updates on congestion and incidents. Creamfields, which runs from Thursday at 2 pm to Sunday at 11 pm, will have an expected 70,000 attendees.

At the Leeds iteration, held at Bramham Park, around 90,000 attendees are expected and those driving to the event have been warned that roadworks on certain routes, including the M1, A1(M) and A64, could cause delays. Drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys, while on-site parking is included for ticketholders - with routes to car parks clearly signposted. Helpfully, a dedicated festival bus will run from Leeds railway station to the site from Wednesday to Monday, with tickets available online. As with Creamfields, National Highways will have extra traffic officers on duty and electronic signs will provide updates on incidents and congestion.

‘You shouldn't say that' – Jack Draper told off by partner after comment following US Open win over Raducanu and Alcaraz
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JACK DRAPER was told off by his US Open mixed doubles partner Jessica Pegula after a comment in a press conference. The British world No5 and American world No4 are through to the semi-final of the revamped competition. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Jack Draper got a telling off from his doubles partner Jessica Pegula Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Pegula called out Draper in the press conference 3 She put her hand to her head as he failed to see her point Draper and Pegula saw off Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz in the opening round 4-2 4-2. And they followed it up with a win over Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva 4-1 4-1. Draper and Pegula are battling it out for a cheque worth £741k ($1million) and they are therefore taking it seriously. The US Open's move to change the mixed doubles event has been criticised due to the short match format and because many doubles specialist players did not get an invite to feature.

"Obviously it is like a bit of an exhibition format. It's nice to play with someone... "What? What did I say? Have a bit of fun with it. I don't know. I like winning. It's good to win, right?" In an awkward exchange, Pegula explained: "You shouldn't be saying that, but that's okay. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK "It's not an exhibition. I know what you're saying." However, Draper did not learn his lesson, continuing: "It's a bit of an exhibition, a bit of fun, why am I so locked in? It's a good opportunity to play, do well, get a lot of points in before next week. Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper accused of 'ex vibes' as Carlos Alcaraz is upstaged by Brits' awkward embrace at net "I'm enjoying being locked in. I don't know why it's a crime to be locked in.' Pegula again smiled and interjected: "I'm just laughing at the 'exhibition' part. "I understand what he was saying, I was just kind of giving him s***. "It has somewhat the feeling it's an exho. It's not called that." They face Casper Ruud and Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek in tonight's semi-final. You can follow the action with our LIVE BLOG from the US Open.

Meet tennis' original badboy who was US Open finalist, partnered Hollywood royalty, skipped Wimbledon final & went AWOL
The tennis star attempted to make it Hollywood and played mixed doubles with an Academy Award-winner DOUBLES TROUBLE Meet tennis' original badboy who was US Open finalist, partnered Hollywood royalty, skipped Wimbledon final & went AWOL Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FRANK SHIELDS was the original tennis badboy. With film star good lucks and a nonchalance that once saw him skip a Wimbledon final, Shields left a huge imprint on the sport during the 1930s. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Frank Shields was tennis' original badboy Credit: Getty 7 Shields was The US No1 during the 1930s Credit: Getty 7 Shields matched up with Ginger Rogers for the 1950 US Open Credit: AP A New Yorker through and through, Shields reached the final of his home tournament at the US Championships, which would later become known as the US Open, in 1930. The following year, Shields reached the Wimbledon final but did not take to Centre Court for the final, supposedly due to an "ankle injury". As reported by the Telegraph, however, cultural critic Jeffrey Hart once claimed of the 1931 showpiece: "This was a murky episode, in which legend has it that Shields was busy investigating the attributes of a matched pair of French countesses. "The truth is probably that he had a badly twisted leg from his previous match with [Jean] Borotra – though the explanations are not mutually exclusive." READ MORE TENNIS CHIP RETURN Inside Andy Murray's new life with potato gig and new addition to family Shields went on to marry three times, with all three of his wives being wealthy heiresses. His second was a Spanish princess, Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi, with whom he had two children. In total he had five children with two different women, and among his grandchildren is American actress and socialite Brooke Shields - who would go on to marry Andre Agassi in 1997, their marriage lasting two years. The vast majority of Shields' successes, at least on the tennis court, came in the 1930s, when he peaked at No2 in the world. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 7 Shields, right, wore traditional Wimbledon whites on Centre Court Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd Much has been made of this year's controversially revamped US Open mixed doubles event, which saw Carlos Alcaraz partner Emma Raducanu at Flushing Meadows. But in 1950, a grizzled veteran by this point, Shields partnered Hollywood A-lister Ginger Rogers in the mixed event at the US Open. Jack Draper told off by partner after comment following US Open win over Raducanu and Alcaraz Rogers, an Academy Award-winning actress more used to recreational matches at country clubs than Grand Slam tennis, partnered Shields - although the glamorous pair were eliminated in round one at Forest Hills. Per the Telegraph, Budge Patty, who reached world No1 that year, believed that Shields' motives for partnering Rogers went beyond mere forehands and backhands. Patty said: "There was only one reason why Frank would have been playing with her." 7 Hollywood star Rogers was a keen tennis player Credit: Alamy 7 The A-lister was more used to country club tennis than the majors Credit: Alamy Shields enjoyed a taste of the high life alongside Rogers, but couldn't match her exploits on the silver screen. The tennis lothario did attempt a career in cinema, appearing in several films during the 1930s, albeit with little commercial success. Fred Astaire he was not. Shields went on to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1964, but while his quality was not in doubt, his reliability often was. In 1933 he was not selected at all for the Davis Cup, despite being the No1-ranked American at the time. And two years on from missing the Wimbledon final, Shields went AWOL after the 1933 French Open. Amazingly he was later discovered at sea, armed with nothing but the tuxedo on his back. Hart wrote of the episode: "He had accompanied some friends on the boat train to Le Havre, a party all the way, and woke up at sea on the Warren Harding with no money, only his tuxedo." Shields struggled with alcohol in his latter years and he eventually died in 1975 aged 65, sadly succumbing to a third heart attack. His legacy is a complex one, but Shields will forever remain one of the most intriguing stars in American tennis history.
