[Closed] I nearly fainted in the pub yesterday...how expensive??

Wait till you fill your car with petrol.

bar in glasgow couple of weeks ago I got charged 6.75 for a large white wine and 4.20 for a pint of amstel!!!

10.95!!! we had one drink and swiftly left

Wine is expensive in pubs, maybe you should drink beer too, like your companion? 😉

I refused (At the till) to pay £2.69 for a family packet of Minstrals the other day.

Daylight robbery I tells ya!

Stop going there. The industry is based on supply and demand, the reason pubs charge this is because people will pay it.

I got stung a similar amount of money last week for a pint and a small glass of wine, I'm not going back there again.

My local (independent) ale pub charges £3 a pint for guest beers, I won't be straying far from there.

A large wine measure though is often 250ml - or a third of a bottle.

Lots of drinking barns now offer "buy two glasses, get the rest of the bottle for free".

maybe you should drink beer

FACT :[i]"Pint for the fella... Glass of white wine/fruit-based drink for the lady"[/i]

or maybe she could buy her own beer!

I ordered a double Rum in a bar. £7.50. Went and sat down to get my air back. Barmaid comes across 'sorry I made a mistake' (phew) 'it should be £8.50'

yer bein' robbed!

£2.50-£2.70 in my local.

Beats the £4.20 a pint for St Austell in London.

Stop going there

as i said the local is undergoing a refurb, been shut for a week now and the next nearest is a good 45 mins walk including two ploughed fields so this was more convenient for a Sunday afternoon drink

Homebrew?

£3 a pint?? Bloody hell.

Yep, £2.50 to £2.75 here in Lancashire.

£3.10 - £3.30 in my local for ale

Rocketdog, are you from the South? 😯

Be prepared for a price rise when it re-opens then to help pay for the refurb 🙂

cask n barrel guet beers range from £2.90 > £3ish

pretty good seeing as they serve bloody good ale.
Although the Youngs Kew on Friday was utterly without merit.

£2.40 in my local for a pint of ale, there's a pub a couple of miles away that does a lovely pint of Shropshire Gold for £2.30 and once let us have 2 pints for £3 cos that's all we had left (had drunk a couple of pints before this though).

I can get a pint for £1.70 in my local
Although a decent pint is nearer £2.40

I was visiting family last week and visited a bar in a old railway station which is now a historical museum. Seven real ales always on, priced according to strength with the 5% ales at £2.50 each. Kept in superb nick also 🙂 The place won CAMRA National Club of the Year last year. Members + guests only too so keeps the riff-raff out 😉

£1.43 a pint just around the corner from me.

you wanna think yourself lucky you don't smoke too!

A lager shandy and a J20......£7.20 last week!

No wonder I prefer to stay in and have a good bottle of red!

Our local microbrewery, [url=www.banktopbrewery.com]Bank Top[/url] recently opened their own pub, The Bank Top Tap just round the corner from us. Not only do they serve the finest northern ales but they charge the princely sum of £2.00 for a pint of it.

Mleh. Boathouse Inn, Wylam. 14 handpulls (12 for ale, 2 for cider), winner of CAMRA North East Pub Of The Year multiple times. 🙂

I am sure under the Sale of Liquor Act pubs are supposed to advertise their prices at the sale point, almost none comply.

I got into a heated discussion with a pub once (OK it was within a few miles of St Andrews but still) after they charged £7 for a glass of wine, then refused to take it back. Sadly I had paid for it amongst a round, thought that was expensive, then sat down at the table to look at the receipt.

£7 !!! It wasn't even a very good wine, if I had thought ahead I would have complained it was corked or something.

Went on a pub crawl round Sheffield on Sat, organiser had set a points challenge with extras for obscure beers. Ended up at the Sheffield Tap on the station waiting for our train back to hicksville. One of the girls ordered 2 small bottles of some Mongolian concoction and when they told her that was £8, she argued so much that they ended up pouring it down the sink.

My local, "The Garage", is about 40p a pint. I brew my own. 😛

this is the chain to avoid, http://www.barntgreeninn.co.uk/sister_pubs/ very pretentious, they were piping Edith Piaff through the sound system and they call seafood "crustacea"

£2.50 for local cider. About £3.10 for ale. Privately owned freehold you see.

And they wonder why pubs are closing down...

that quality of totty doesnt come cheap RD.

Yeah they do. It's just usually in typewriter print on a framed A4 sheet at the hardest to reach end of the bar. 🙂

Or in my local, writ large on a big chalkboard along with the ABV.

£3 a pint here for most ales, best value in Bath though I say so myself 😆

that quality of totty doesnt come cheap RD.

98% were wearing those awful UGG boots, like some sort of uniform, no amount if expensive ale could make those acceptable

£1.99 a pint in my loacl for all ales and they have between 10 and 16 on usually, oh and it's in London ;0)

Not in the good beer guide, but that says more about the local beer police than it says about the pub!

oh and it's in London ;0)

Never mind, you can't have everything eh? 😉

WCA and I stopped for a quick pint at Brew Wharf, by Borough Market, a while ago. £11 for two pints of Röthaus. 😯 Lovely beer, mind.

TBh I would rather pay a premium in a London boozer, with a lively fun atmosphere, good healthy mix of people, and lots of pretty things to look at, than sit in some sullen, miserable pub in some Godforsaken provincial town or village, with surly territorial narrow-minded locals, hardly any women and warm beer. There's a reason why beer is cheap in places like that you know...

Never mind, you can't have everything eh?

No actually you can. It's London. The World comes to you. 🙂

Paid £2.40 for a Doom at my local but never paid more than £2.80

I'd rather eat my own arm than do anything in London if how elfin comes across is an example of "fun atmosphere" he bleats on about, and how would you see the bar past the huge chip he seems to carry around with him?

"Never mind, you can't have everything eh?"

No actually you can. It's London. The World comes to you.

The mountain to Mohammed?

how you spellin' that?

Fine. We could do with less miserable sods like you coming here anyway. 😉

And what 'chip' are you on about? This, from a man who judges others based on their particular choice of footwear... 🙄

The mountain to Mohammed?

Well of course. 🙂
