7 EUR drink (regular)
I guess it means 7EUR per (alcoholic) drink/glass of wine which is of no special kind.

I'm not convinced that this is referring to wine. In Spain a "copa" tends to mean a spirit with a mixer - a gin and tonic, or a whisky and coke. And people don't *tend* to drink wine in clubs.
Is it possible that what it is referring to the fact that you can order any drink you like? i.e:
7 EUROS including a free drink (any)
The only other possibility is that it is a misprint for "no cerveza" i.e. you pay 7 euros for a ticket with a free drink that isn't beer.

7 Euro well drinks
In the US they talk about well drinks for non-specific alcoholic drinks.
See a couple of examples below, a description and an example of a special at bar:

7€ spirit/liquor + mixer (excluding special brands)
this means a standard whisky and ginger/rum and coke/gin and tonic, but does not cover malt or aged whiskies, exclusive gins (Tanqueray), aged brandies etc. I'm certain about this.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Matthew. I am inclined towards this one based on the text. I don't think the "no reserva" can have anything to do with reservation... also, later on, they tak of "copas y cockteles" so I guess copa is a simple spirit plus mixer whereas cocktail is a more exotic mixed drink do you agree? |

Nedra Rivera Huntington
: This could work as well as mine, although I think the word brands might be misleading, as the same brand often makes a reserve and a "normal", e.g. Bacardi http://www.beerliquors.com/buy/liquors/bacardi.htm

7 € with drink (house spirits)
I think (although not entirely sure) that "reserva" refers to famous brand drinks, so basically a drink is included in the entrance price but it must be a "house spirit" (cheap unknown brands).

7 € glass of wine (non-reserve)
I think it unlikely that this refers to a whisky (cubata in Spain) as the difference in price between a beer(soft drink and a spirit would be quite a bit more if this were the case. In my opinion, it refers to a glass of good wine, but not one of the more expensive reserve wines.
Copa de vino is the accepted way to ask for a glass of wine.
"Waipara Springs Pinot Noir 2001
(the non-reserve wine - the reserve will be released in the winter). "

7 € Drinks (no reservations) / (First come, first serve)
al poner drinks en la entrada de un club se deduce que un "drink" va a tener contenido alcoholico. y no reserva para mi es como los restaurantes que no reservan mesas- no reservations

7€ mixed drink (excluding reserve spirits)
In Spain a copa is definitely a mixed drink, combination of spirits and a mixer. By itself, the word doesn't refer to a glass of wine, especially at that price.
Reserve refers to aged spirits, often a "version" of a standard one. The word is often used in English as well.: http://www.woodfordreserve.com/awards.asp
