Decent pubs will have a high turnover of new beers so a chalkboard is pretty much essential (unless they’ve invested in a fancy digital system but there’s only one locally like that!) Shite pubs will have no such requirement, of course. My local still takes cash but there’s a fair few that don’t anymore, can’t say I blame them as contactless is just less faff all round.

My local (which is a bloody brilliant boozer!) has a digital board listing the extensive, constantly changing beers and is card only. They colour code them for strength. That’s hardly the cutting edge of technology, is it? With it being 2023 and all that
Careful, people might start to think you’re a hipster craft beer ****er if you admit to frequenting a place like that 😂
none of that sounds remotely legal. I’m wondering how many of these uni bar stories actually happened & how many are just people thinking they remember them happening 😂

It certainly seems to be a thing. And I'm sure that's not the first place of its kind in the city - I went to a pub / bar doing a similar thing with prices fluctuating by what was being bought going up in price and what wasn't selling falling in price. I did see a guy buy a round of Guinness and the price on the screen doubled. Tib Street / Oldham Road area I'd say back around the turn of the millennium.
Bar FTSE was a thing at Nottingham Trent in the early 00s. I was always very messy.
Personally have no issue with this and based on how busy my local is Friday -> Sunday nights, I would wager most people will barely notice.

That'll have been the Millennium Bug! 🙂
Easy way around it, if the price goes up go to the nextdoor,chances are it'll be cheaper.
they already do location pricing why not dynamic..
my brother was walking through Ashton a few weeks back he sent a picture to whatsapp group. £2.40 all day everyday for carlsberg.
the replys mainly concerned how rough is that place..

Quite. It's literally a computer monitor, it's not difficult.
It's becoming pervasive and honestly, it's largely bloody irritating because it's invariably implemented really badly. I don't want an advert for your new McBacon McCluck with double gizzards, I want to know how much your fries are. Keep still.

I prefer my pubs not to have screens at all 🙂
Patrons should fight back with a lazy payment approach.
'Yea, i'll pay 1/2 today, then bring the rest next time...'
