Last night went to Mountain View for a talk about "Who Killed Marilyn Monroe" the speaker was brilliant, both informative and food for thought, raised money for a good cause thanks to Brenda and Mike, however the only fly in the ointment was Mountain View it's self by charging over the top for drinks!! I had a local brandy and a small can of 7UP cost 16tl...................c'mon Mountain View if I had shopped around I could of got a litre of brandy and a litre of 7up for that price!!!!

They only had one barman on duty, bless him who had to cope with a line of people, many of the gentlemen that ordered beer had to ask for a glass!! I have never seen so many bottles of water at an event in all my life!!

All I can say is I really enjoyed the event, a lot of effort had been put in by so many people only to be let down by the venue,

I have had issues with Mountain View prices before, a case of the barman making up prices as he went along and yes I did complain to the management. I think it is a case of a 3* hotel charging 5* prices.

Must agree with Wookie. Went Friday night, Speaker brilliants, shame about the price of the drinks.
Have been to a few events at M/View this year and note the drink costs seem to be going skyward. A number of my friend now boycott the place because of this. If I go there in future will just get a bottle of water, even at the high cost they charge!

Agree with you all, and the prices very high and are not consistent. Same order can be 2 or 3 Lira dearer, they need to display their prices, 6tl for a Nescafé is ott.
