Must be... but not

1-Drinks have be served in room A, but not in room B.
2-Drinks must be served in room A, but not in room B.

Does 1 mean:
Drinks have to be served in room A, but they do not have be served in room B?

Does 2 mean:
Drinks must be served in room A, but they must not be served in room B?

Gratefully,
Navi.

Going just by the sentences (i.e. without context) I would agree with your understanding.

First of: 'have be served' is not grammatical.
It would be: have to be served (or have been served, but that would mean something different)

1- Drinks have to be served in room A, but not in room B.
2- Drinks must be served in room A, but not in room B.

Be careful:
don't have to: it's not important, you do not have to do something; You don't have to go to school tomor

Thank you both.

It was my bad. It was a typo. I have to be more careful.

Cheers.
