  • Just back from Iceland where lager was about £7.50 - £8.50 for what I would guess is 2/3 of a pint. 
    Didn't drink much!

  • This with a Gin n Tonic was a manageable £12 over in Bromley North earlier today.
    The pint went down very well as well.
    How is the ‘handbag’ these days? Not been for a while. 
    ???? 
    Got a few snide Vuttons from Brazil I can do you a deal on though.
    I understand it was a gay bar some time back and the locals referred to it as the Crown & Handbag. 
    He knew that really

    The price went up massively after they changed their name from "Bejam".
    F****** 'ell, that takes me back.

    We should never have lost that flag facility here.

  • £4.70 in here, always enjoyed a pint of this before I discovered an IPA.  The boozer is great so I'll be back again as only 5 minutes walk for a few weeks.
    Wanna pay the lord nelson a visit. One of only two left on the OKR.
    Errrmmm, this is The Lord Nelson.
    Should have said, one of two pubs left on OKR. Other being the Windsor.
    There were seventeen in 1977!

  • Went for a quick pint at the pub in Paddington Stn after the match on Saturday. £8.30 for a pretty standard craft beer.

    If Guinness is brewed by Diagio (sic) then every Fullers brand is brewed by Asahi and Neck Oil is brewed by Heineken...

    Can you put them right next time you are there?

  • In spanner area now, this place is always safe at their hovel.
    £5.70 for this is acceptable, still not cheap mind.
    Best pub in Noo X
    Proper proper boozer, I've had so many laughs in there over the years
  • Punk IPA in the Gatwick spoons, £7.05 it could have been worse I suppose.
    Still shocking to be over £7

    £6.80 for a low alcohol is a joke 
  • A central London pub is charging customers an extra £2 a pint after 22:00.

    Before that time, patrons of O'Neill's on Wardour Street in Soho pay £7.40 for certain draught beers, with the same drink costing £9.40 after the cut-off.

    Mitchells & Butlers, the pub group that owns the venue, said the policy reflected a request from the police and local council "that we increase prices after 10pm to a level generally in line with the late-night market".

  • Mate of mine paid £9.50 for a pint of Hells at the O2 the other night !

    That’s insane. How long until they just charge £9.40 at all times of the day?
  • £7.80 a pint of Madri at Sandown on Sunday.
    First time I’ve ever put more over the bar than into a bookies pocket on a days racing.

    A mate text me about this earlier this morning. 

    Around where I work it's now £8 a pint on average and I'm resigned to the fact that probably by 2030 we will hit £10 a pint. 

    On a side note I tried to buy a couple of cans in an off licence in Bexleyheath a few weeks ago after leaving the pub. I was refused in three shops not for being too drunk but because they don't sell alcohol after 10pm anymore. Is this a new thing everywhere or was it just a easy excuse to get rid of me!?

    The west end is a bit off these days, there aren’t that many pubs open late so you don’t have much choice if you fancy a drink (unless you’re going to some nightclub in soho). I was there a few months ago and fancied a couple of pints after dinner and ended up having to go to that casino in Leicester Sq. 
  • Is £9.40 really that expensive ? I'm sure there's a Wetherspoons or Sam Smiths open somewhere, if you don't want to pay £9.40 for a pint don't drink there ?

    Sam Smith's ain't that cheap these days....granted it's not £9.40 a pint though.

    Was just about to say the same, £7.60 in the Sam Smiths by my work

    Their prices went up a fair bit during/after covid....I know that's the same for most pubs but they were cheap (in comparison to most west end pubs)....prior to covid.
  • I think we can all agree that the best place to get a pint these days both morally and monetarily is.....
