When it comes to enjoying a drink, Virgin Voyages new ship, Scarlet Lady, offers cruisers a variety of bars and lounges. Not sure where to start? We have just returned from a sailing and have put together this Virgin Voyages Bar Guide with all the specialty drink menus to help you make the difficult decisions.
Virgin Voyages Bar Guide With Menus
Unlike other contemporary cruise lines, Virgin Voyages does not offer drink packages. Instead, the cruise line allows sailors to pre-load money into a “bar tab”, offering a $50 bonus for every $300 purchased prior to the cruise.
If you are looking to calculate the costs for your drink preferences, or want to know all the specialty drink offerings, you are in luck. We have the bar menus below.

Red Bar (Deck 5)
Tucked in the back of the Razzle Dazzle Vegan-friendly restaurant, the Red Bar serves up some Instagram-worthy cocktails. So, whether you are dining at the restaurant or just want to grab a drink at the bar, be sure to sample some of these crazy concoctions. Perhaps, the goldfish or the popcorn old-fashioned.
Mezcal Bar (Deck 5)
Located just beyond the entrance of the Pink Agave Mexican restaurant, the Mezcal Bar offers a large menu of authentic drinks. You can order up a cocktail while dining at the restaurant or just stop by the bar.
The menu features spiked fresca, specialty cocktails, and a large selection of tequila and mezcal.
The Manor (Deck 6)
This 2-story space, named after Branson’s first recording studio, is home to three bars. This venue offers live music as well as the Never Sleep Alone show in the evenings. It also transforms into the ship’s club later in the night.
Of course, you will likely want to grab a drink while while enjoying the entertainment in the Manor.

Casino Bar (Deck 6)
If you need a beverage to go along with your slot play, then the Casino Bar is your stop. This bar is open whenever the casino is open. So, be sure to grab a drink for your date with Lady Luck.
Here, you can find a small menu of classic cocktails, beers, and wines.
On the Rocks (Deck 6)
This mixology bar features martinis and cocktails with an emphasis on aged spirits served “on the rocks”. Given its central location in the Atrium, or Roundabout, this is a popular spot on Scarlet Lady.
You will certainly want to enjoy a drink while listening to the VV Band or while watching one of the many “happenings” that occur here.
Wine Bar (Deck 6)
Located in Extra Virgin, this Wine Bar is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner or post dinner drink. With an extensive wine menu, as well as some craft cocktails, like the Godfather, there are plenty of libations to pair with your meal as well.

Sip (Deck 7)
This chic champagne lounge is a go-to spot for a drink on Virgin Voyages. Also serving afternoon tea, you might find yourself hanging out here quite a bit.
The Sip menu features a few signature cocktails along with a wide selection of wine and champagne.
Draught Haus (Deck 7)
The Draught Haus is a beer lover’s haven. This chill venue features a wide variety of beers on tap. In addition, you will find plenty of bottled and canned beers and even shots, like the jellyfish.
This venue is also conveniently located near the Roundabout.
Grounds Club (Deck 7)
The Grounds Club is your coffee house at sea on Virgin Voyages. This venue serves Intelligentsia Coffee and other espresso based drinks. You can grab your favorite latte, cappuccino, or even a nitro cold brew any time of day.
There is also a second coffee spot in The Galley food court.
Of note, only drip coffee is included in the cruise fare. These premium beverages will cost you extra money, or you can also apply your bar tab credits towards these drinks.

The Loose Cannon (Deck 7)
This nautically inspired bar features a signature drink menu with hits like the El Capitano’s Gun Powder or the Shoctopus (shots for 5 people). It is located in a secluded corner through the Social Club, where there are games and good times. Come for the drinks, stay for the fun.
This bar did seem under-utilized to us. So, hopefully the cruise line figures out a way to showcase this venue a bit more.
The Social Club Bar (Deck 7)
The Social Club is an American diner serving classic carnival eats like hot dogs, popcorn, and pretzels. The venue also serves spiked milkshakes!
Not to mention, there is air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard to keep you entertained for hours.
The Dock House Bar and Dock Bar (Deck 7)
The Dock House Bar is the indoor bar, while the Dock Bar is its outdoor counterpart is this quiet retreat area on Scarlet Lady.
Both bars offer the same menu with a specialty in rosé wines. The venues also offer a great sangria, my favorite cocktail the grapevine, and even pressed juices.
Aquatic Club Bar (Deck 15)
The Aquatic Club Bar is your pretty typical pool bar. Located right next to the ship’s main pool, this will be your go-to spot while lounging poolside on a sea day.
The Aquatic Club bar serves up some great mojitos and frozen cocktails like the skinny pina and the frosé all day.

Gym & Tonic Bar (Deck 15)
The Gym & Tonic Bar is right around the corner from the Aquatic Club Bar. This bar is situated right near the well-being pool and not far from the B-Complex gyms.
This bar offers smoothies, fresh pressed juices, and “reset cocktails”, in addition to a full bar.
Sun Club Bar (Deck 16)
The Sun Club Bar is located on deck 16, right above the pool deck. If you are looking to catch some rays away from the congested pool area, this will be your closest bar to grab a frosty cocktail.
It’s also a great spot to overlook the pool deck parties.
The Sun Club Bar serves the same menu as the Aquatic Club bar.
The Athletic Club Bar (Deck 16)
Lastly, the Athletic Club Bar is located aft on deck 16. Come for the Instagram shot on the Net, then stay for some drinks at this bar. This area of the ship also has comfy lounge furniture to relax, plenty of sun, and great wake views.
The Athletic Club bar menu offers many of the same drinks that you can find at the other outdoor bars including frozen cocktails, smoothies, and more.

Question : Of the 6 specialty restaurants available for dinner, only 3 of them have bars that you can go to (I’m assuming even if you’re not having dinner there??), and the other 3 restaurants do NOT have bars in the restaurant ? i.e. you can order drinks at the table, but there’s no bar to sit at or order from ? Thanks in advance !
