And, finally, WOOBAR introduces a brand new free-flow champagne package available everyday from 9pm to 11:30pm (except Wednesdays). It’s never a good idea to drink on an empty stomach, so thankfully, guests have the choice of choosing which champagne package to go with. There’s Veuve Clicquot ($380) and Ruinart Rose ($888) but the Dom Perignon Luminous comes with premium Joselito Iberico ham ($1,888).
