I rarely go to a pub just for a drink. We are in a local boozer.
This cost more than anticipated.
What do you reckon?

Table looks clean. Chairs not fashionable or shabby chic but comfortable and sturdy. There's a paper. So, £6.60.

Edit - glass looks plastic. £6.10

One of my locals you wouldn't get change from a twenty when buying a pint and a medium glass of wine. Have even heard of stories of people paying £60 for four "House" drinks.

I now go across the road £3.20 a pint and lovely sticky tables

Would it not be more sociable to chat to whoever you're in the pub with instead of being on your phone? Though yes, I admit they may have just nipped to the loo, so apologies if this is the case.

A bottle of beer over draught, an appletizer and a lime and soda? It's that time of the year again when amateurs are clogging up the bars for the pros!
Get uerself back home and blow the dust off last years Harvey's pale cream why don't you! 😉

This, cos you won't be able to buy Belgian beer after Brexit. They won't want to sell it over here, oh no sirree.

Nearly died last year when 3 of us went for some 'in the cask' beers that turned out over £16 for 3 pints. 3 pints in the local by our caravan site in N Wales are about £8.70

That's nothing, one lad lucked out when his round of 5 lagers came to £8.50 on our annual pub crawl last Xmas. The rest of us weren't so lucky coz it was 5 points of McEwan's!

I felt aggrieved paying £5.05 for a pint (draught) of the very same beer on Friday night.

Don't feel so bad now.

But not the same 3 pints though 😉 £5.33/pint is cheaper than some places charge for crap larger

Currently in the nags head in the ding; most spendy beer on the board tonight is £9 a pint - not going near that!

Overall it's still cheaper than Brewdog 😁

Could be awesome though and last longer than a few glasses of wine!!

pint of orange juice and lemonade in the drunken duck, in the lakes was more than the price of a pint of expensive beer. Im used to down south prices but over a fiver £5.35 for a pint of orange juice and draught lemonade is over the top.

A couple of yrs ago in Mansfield in a Sam Smiths pub I had a pint of IPA for £1.55 - I thought the barman was joking. that's at least £3 cheaper than in my local in Hants.

Which is why pubs are closing down at an alarming rate and at home drinking is getting problematic - 18 tins of Stella can normally be bought for £14 ish - the same as a small round in a pub. People then don’t go to pubs and sit at home drinking loads because it’s relatively cheap.

But the smaller venues I know that charge more for really good stuff are thriving, if all you want is units/£ then fine. Plenty of people doing flavour and taste for a far price.

But not export.

Actually I think the lager is still produced too but I don’t drink lager so not sure.

Last night at Sheffield Academy a Pepsi and lemonade and lime came to £7.80. I did wonder if a beer would have been cheaper...

Pah, I went to a work event at a London hotel (Grosvenor House) last Monday. We were entertaining customers and bought drinks before the event. Single house G&T... £16. Ouch.

I don’t know how normal people can afford to go to the pub a couple of times a week for a few drinks, the price now is bonkers.
I don’t mind driving most of the time but it is also annoying that I can be spending more on a pint of Coke than a pint of beer.

As long as it wasn't before lunchtime in 'spoons then it doesn't really matter how much it cost 😉
