Price of a pint

[dazlight]

Just been for a few drinks with my uncle an cousin.
My uncle drinks bitter, me lager an cousin bullmers
My uncle who worked all his life an is now retired hardly has a drink out these days cause of the price.
In a hungry horse pub it was
Carling £2.85
Bullmers £3.65
John smiths £2.80

This is in new brighton on the sea front, in the wether spoons over the rd its £2.90 for bitter, in the local town spoons a few miles away its £2.10 a pint???
No wonder pubs are shutting these days.

Actually that is is cheap. Lager around £3 in the clubhouse even with discount and anything from £3.30-£3.60 in pubs around here

About the same in my clubhouse. And worse than that in the pubs near the ground on match day. I'd happily pay the prices you're complaining about.

My first legal round of 4 pints in 1966 cost me less than 10 shillings [50p].
A couple of years ago I bought a round of 4 pints and absentmindedly handed the barmaid a tenner, she laughed and said 'you don't get out much, do you'.
I hardly ever go out to the pub now as I find £6 for a couple of pints hard to swallow.

About £2.50 for Tennants and Carling in my local. Glasgow city centre last time I was out was £3.30 for lager.

 

[Mungoscorner]

My tipple (Guinness) is £3.35 at my place.
Local social club charges £2.90.
Golf clubs need to realise that "small profit, big turnover" is the way forward.

You could probably have peroni for about the same

Knew I was leaving myself open - mind the dinner in china town wasn't too steep

You get some decent nose bag there! My wife asked if she could get chips with her meal in a restaurant in China Town - It didn't go down well, from the waiters reaction you would have thought she had asked if she could take a dump on the table

I was out yesterday with the Mrs, I had a pint of Schiehallion lager at £4.20, nice pint but pricey.

 

[louise_a]

A pint of bitter in the club house is £2.40.

 

[bluewolf]

At Slaley the other week, a round of 6 Hoegaarden was just over £31. I had to put the £20 note away and pay on the card!!!

 

[dazlight]

So homer that is cheap? Cheap to me for a pint is under £2.
The point I'm making is that people who don't have much money aren't going the pub anymore like my uncle because its over priced now. That's one of the reasons pubs are shutting 25 a week.
I pay what it is and never really check prices but last night with my uncle telling me he don't go out much I noticed.
