£8 for a pint of alcoholic liquid sounds like a deal, my Mrs was knocking back glasses of chardonnay in Nathan Outlaws restaurant in Rock, Cornwall the other day at £17.00 a glass, nowhere near a pint in quantity.0

Idle working man's club its about £2.50-£3.00 a pint. Most places in Leeds are about 4-5 quid a pint, Bradford normally slightly cheaper.The Red Robin said:I live in West Yorkshire. Now and again you see a £5 pint, but usually under. It was about £2-3 not long ago. Proper beer too.
Was paying about 4.50 in morley at the weekend.
Yesterday in Hayes it was about the same.

A few I believe - I’m in Ilkley. I work in Bradford but worked in Leeds for a few years previously.Cafc43v3r said:

edit: there’s a Yorkshire Addicks Facebook group. I don’t really use Facebook but keep an eye on it. When I travelled down to the Doncaster away playoff game in 2019, Leeds station was full of Charlton fans.1 -
Warrington £3.60 for a great pint of Wainwright. Was in Scotland at the weekend and a great pint (really) of Tennants. Both beers hold onto their head until drunk 👍0

As I don't drink bitter can anyone say why it seems (based on the figures given here) that lager is so much more expensive.0

I’ve been in Wakefield for years and recently got my first £5 pint, was horrified. Seems to be around the £4-4.20 mark mostly. Defo more like £5 in Leeds as standard these daysThe Red Robin said:

Yeah Leeds has hit the £5 mark mostly. Ilkely varies but generally around £4 now.cafcfan1990 said:

Bitter is for damp smelling old blokes with long beards / hair and washed out beer festival t-shirts on, who are on ther verge of brewing their own, and lager is for normal peoplegolfaddick said:As I don't drink bitter can anyone say why it seems (based on the figures given here) that lager is so much more expensive.17 -
To go back to the OP, the boozer averaging over £8 a pint must be selling some very exclusive niche stuff. I go to the Crown on Trafalgar Road relatively often these days, and there are several really interesting beers that I rarely see elsewhere. For that, in Greenwich, I'm paying anywhere from £6.50-£7.20 a pint (higher percentage - 6.7% etc - more expensive), which is pricey, but EIGHT quid?! What do they have on?!
The Ashburnham Arms is a regular, too, and that'll be £5.50-£6 per pint, which is about standard when I'm not in a Spoons.0 -

You know what, I'm far from the tightest person you will meet, in fact I'm almost proud of how quickly I can burn through a pound note. The day after involved a lot of conversation around how much the day cost me/us as guests. Because my dopey sister in law though uber would solve all our logistical problems (in buttfuck nowhere rural Hampshire) both me and her had to drive to the venue when the plan was to take one car, leaving the other where we were staying but things got cut too fine as shockingly they couldn't get an uber in time and it hadn't crossed their minds to phone a local firm. Anyway, I digress, I booked a local place to take us back to where we were staying and take me and her there the following morning to pick our cars up.MrOneLung said:
I would have been embarrassed to have had my wedding where they charge that - all the guests would remember that even if the rest of the day was fantasticCarter said:Wedding reception in Hampshire so captive audience I know, but....
£9.10 thats nine English pounds and ten pence for a pint of gut churningly bad goose Island IPA was costing over 70 quid for a round for 5 people with nobody taking the piss and drinking Singapore Slings or anything kinky
Neck oil just sailed past the £5 barrier in my local
This was in total, for the two journeys no more than 8 miles and cost me 70 quid.
Back to the venue, we had to be there for a 1.30 ceremony, assuming the bar would be open we got there for just after 12 to find nope, the bar opens at 3.30 and no earlier. The grooms brother in law, the little fat genius had brought a crate of beers with him in his van that people started appearing with including me. The bride and groom are big into their fitness and were handing out cheap wearable devices in the hope that everyone would do 10,000 steps. I can tell you now I visualised how many of those poxy things I could stuff up his dung funnel as he was handing them out telling me he hoped I liked their idea of not opening the bar until later as they weren't big drinkers. I amiably but honestly told him it was a fucking moronic idea and I hope his next dump resembles a pineapple. He laughed at that, as he laughs at everything he doesn't understand which is a lot.
The food was very decent, the rest of the day was a slog, I'm not going to lie. It was made interesting by two things. One was making a genuine discovery if infidelity catching the mother of the bride (absolute MILF before you ask) and one of the grooms boory rugby friends breaking off from a very guilty looking clinch. The other was the same brother if the groom absolutely breaking his brothers heart by leading him (and everyone else) on by making out like Linvoy Primus was arriving to give the groom a signed pompey shirt then instead holding up his phone to show us all a cameo video of linvoy saying congratulations the look of abject disappointment on the grooms face was maybe worth the price of the booze. About as subtle as a water buffalo the grooms brother but now one of my personal heroes

I ordered a pint in the bankers cat in Leeds a couple of weeks ago and he told me it was 7.20 a pint before he pulled it.cafcfan1990 said:

Whitstable Bay Blonde, £5.10 in the Bricklayers in Bromley.0

Anything over a fiver is profiteering. You know you can get it for under £3 a pint in the supermarket and they are still making a decent profit on that. I like real ale/craft beers and the 'shop-pubs' have been great but boy are they over-charging. They usually run one or two cheaper lines at £4.XX but most are way over a fiver and often £6 plus. CIU clubs (eg The Radical Club in Plumstead) still manage to serve pints at well under a fiver and their costs won't be miles away from regular pubs. It's really no wonder large high street pubs are going out-of-business.3

Paid 5.95 for Guinness @ Wick Inn, Brighton0

Was in the Pelton Arms the other week and the price of a pint went up from £6.80 to £7.50 at 9pm.
Couldn't believe it was £15 for two pints, I'm not tight at all but bloody hell. I'm not going to be going the pub very often for a while*.
*It's only £4 a pint at the golf club which is where I'll get my fix.1 -
Would've agreed 15 odd years ago, but some of the lagers out nowadays are lovely.Algarveaddick said:
