Hi
Following on from another thread I started about the cost of living. How much is it for a pint at your local?
My local is a Sam Smith's brewery owned pub. Just been refitted after the 2015 floods. Lovely pub, right next to the canal.
A pint of Sam Smith's bitter is £2.00 and a pint of lager is £2.30. This is standard price for a lovely pint (not to be compared with cheapo night club £1 a pint offers, who sell off out of date barrels)
How much do you pay? |

Apart from Wetherspoons, ya don't seem to get much change out of £3.50 anywhere round here for a pint of cider, although there are a couple of Real Ale pubs within striking distance that are slightly more reasonable  |

Last pub I went to in your neck of the woods was the Brunswick. Awesome food and even better real ales ??
No idea what they charge in pubs around here, we don’t drink in pubs these days |

Yeah, the Brunswick is only a 5 min walk from me, I've not eaten there, but it does have its own micro brewery  |

Don;t drink locally so no idea. On the increasingly rare times I drink in London at a club or gig I;d expect to somewhat begrudgingly pay a fiver for a can (not even draught) cider |

"Our local is around £3.30-£3.80 a pint, depending on what we have. Lots of people are putting bars in their homes or gardens around here .. it’s the way forward! "
Not surprising really with how expensive pubs are now. We’d rather get some drinks from the supermarket and then invite friends over to socialise at home. Or, we’d rather buy a few drinks and take them to a swingers club |

"Here in Ireland in the sticks its Euro 4.10 for lager, 4.0 for guinness and a whiskey is 3.40, but would be more expensive in the city."
I was buying rounds in Dublin but I think in gogartys I paid @€8 for lager but others were @ €7 lager and Guinness €6 ish |

"Don't get me started on Scandinavia equivalent of £14 for a airport pint  "
It's bonkers out there. Go with work to Denmark a fair bit, couple of beers and a pub meal will set you back nearly £40 good job work pay for it 
Around me it's £3 and up depending on what it is. Decent beer IPA is closer to £4.

Wetherspoons range from £2.25-£2.65 depending on the drink.
Usually works cheaper if you combine it with a meal offer.
Wine bars usually start from around £3.30 up to £4.
If your brave enough to dare a restaurant or 2 they are ranging from £5-£5.50 a pint |

Agree, I go to Denmark a fair bit and it's crazy and not just in the big city's.
Next time I'm over I must find out what the wages are like |

I have paid £4.50 for a pint of hoegarden back in 1999, in a pub near Harley street.
There us a beautiful bar in Manchester called Bock, £5 for a glass of Affiglem. Worth every penny. |
