Not in this country but when I was on holiday in Aruba, we went down to the local pier to watch the sun go down, watch the baby Barracudas come close to the shoreline, be entertained by the local karaoke queen and have a beer. Two beers .... $270

Went monaco for day. Went to a bar by casino square. Couple of us order small beer which was 10 euros each. Mate said not spending that much for a half so he ordered a latte or similar and that was 12 euros !22 -

In Dubai in January, prices ranged from £13-18 a pint. Glad my wife was pregnant at the time, it would have cost us a fortune otherwise!ricky_otto said:Dubai airport 3 years ago. £45 for 2 pints and 2 JD & cokes.2 -

A couple of years back I paid £8.50 for a paid of something in that bar. I thought for that amount it must taste magical. It was foul and it wasn’t the cheapest, they actually had a bottled beer on the menu for £19.JohnBoyUK said:Craft Beer Co Bar in Covent Garden.

Good tip, if you know you’re going somewhere expensive, buy a rucksack , go to a local supermarket, buy as much of your favorite tipple that will fit in the rucksack.
When you get to said expensive establishment, buy one drink to keep them happy, and then wahey bobs your uncle, and Fanny’s one of your favorite Charlton life posters.
Your mates will be happy, and you can feel like a king, and the rucksack will pay for itself!2 -
in Hong Kong earlier this year I paid my company paid the equivalent of £9.50 for a bottle of Bud.

In Sydney, on average about 6/7 quid, then Stella would be something ridiculous like 91

Other than when I go and watch Charlton I do all my drinking indoors.
If I drank out every night I would need a second mortgage0 -
Honeymooned in Aruba 4 years ago. We stayed in an all-inclusive place as we thought that would keep costs down which, after getting married, we needed. Still spent over £4K in two weeks on food and drink outside the resort._MrDick said:Not in this country but when I was on holiday in Aruba, we went down to the local pier to watch the sun go down, watch the baby Barracudas come close to the shoreline, be entertained by the local karaoke queen and have a beer.

There is no happier place of contentment than being plotted up in a proper pub with a few pals (preferably including a wannabe comedian, a joke target sponge, a filthy animal and a pal who has an experience or story for everything), a few beers, a selection of snacks and chewing the fat over absolute nonsense. Get transported away from the realities of life for a few happy hours.
Football and pub is great, but the focus is all centred around the football and not the same imo.8 -
Paid £13 in Bergen, Norway last year to try the local brew. Was an absolute shocker of a pint.1

Thinking about it there are regularly pints in my local (usually an imperial stout tbf) around the £11-£12 range. Tend to be sold only in 1/3's or a 1/2 though.

Ah that should be a different category though, I’m guessing they’re about 9/10%?Bournemouth Addick said:Thinking about it there are regularly pints in my local (usually an imperial stout tbf) around the £11-£12 range. Tend to be sold only in 1/3's or a 1/2 though.0 -
Yep. Hence they keep an eye on who's necking them!0

I used to prefer pubs but a combination of it becoming far more of a hassle to get to and from and an increasing number of random obnoxious people en route and in the pubs has led to me now preferring to have a quiet relaxing drink indoors. Reclusiveness is good.AFKABartram said:

This should probably be on the getting old thread.1 -
