In my experience All Bar Ones seem to be populated by complete and utter strokers. You can hardly blame the management for picking up on this,and fleecing them accordingly. A sort of bell end tax, if you like.
Cheap as chips for a pint, comparatively, in our neck of the woods. But Manchester City Cenrtre prices are now completely bonkers. A tenner for 2 pints of Perroni is pretty standard now apparently. And last week a new record: 2 pints of Poncey Asahi (its all they had) and 2 glasses of (house) wine. No change out of 30 quid!!! 😯
