White Firs ??? near the golf course ???Drinks - cheaper than UK... 1.50lv up
Food (errrr what food ??) - average meal around 10lv
Nights out (inc taxi from and to golf course) - whatever you want it to be plus 60lv (taxi fare)
To be fair i think they have courtesy buses, but whether they will run at night ???

Jon,
We were in Bansko last week, it will depend on where you drink/eat but you can get a large beer for 3 lev in the Friendly bar, 6 lev in Happy end (just opposite gondola), there is an Irish bar where we had some pretty good food for less than 10 lev and the beer was 2.75 lev, between 5 and 6 it was half that price.
It's not too bad at all for prices, much cheaper than anywhere else you could ski but a lot more expensive than it was 5 years ago, which was bound to happen as ...

Just as a tip, we had loads of 100 lev notes, in one or two places they tried to give me change of a 50 lev note but when I challenged it I got my change (make sure when you are going to have loads to drink you bring a combination of smaller notes, it's not a major issue, just the odd opportunist like you would get anywhere.
Have a good time
