heartsfc_fan Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I was chatting to a mate who has moved over to Dublin and working for an IT company. He was shocked at the price of a pint over there - something like ?4!! Whereas over here you go to your general bar, maybe not right in the centre of town and pay something like ?2.60 or something for a pint of Tennents. Expensive compared to the price I paid on a holiday in Spain. 2 Euro's for a pint of lager... Anyone had a "bargain" pint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brow Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Im in stavanger. Its about 7 to 8 pound for the local lager. If you want a guiness or a nip then get the chequebook out.

No wonder pubs are struggling. I really cant abide folk buying bottles in pubs, fair enough paying approx 3 quid for draught beer but 3 notes for a bottle/can is a joke. I got a bargain in Marseille last week.... eventually...., had 2 beers in a bar 4.50 euros each, went away for kebab, came back, same guy served me ...and as I had 'come back' price was now 2 euros for the same drink. prob says more about rip off France than beer tho.

spud Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The draught Guinness here used to be brewed in Namibia but it was "not very good" so they have gone back to importing it from Ireland; 15 South African Rands a pint or 1 of your UK pounds. Whisky is just as ridiculous, R75 for a bottle of VAT69 or Black and White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattie Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's all about the Tron on a Wednesday night - pound a pint.. I rarely go out just for a pint any more. If I go to the pub it will be a night out or works do of some sort. I was at Stu Mel's rugby club for a do last weekend. Now rugby clubs are historically mighty cheap... ?2.60 a pint of Tennant's now. Which tastes like ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecjambo Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 ?2.45 for a pint of Miller in my local. A few years ago it use to be under ?2 for a pint. Was Carling right enough but could put up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 by the end of this year you will be very lucky to find a pint for under ?3 in a normal bar/pub. I don't doubt it but if that's the case then a night out will be an occasional luxury, not a regular thing for many people. Anthing approaching 3 quid for garbage like Tennants is taking the pi$$, as well as tasting like it. Even 'locals' are charging what used to be regarded as city centre prices now, no wonder they're empty Monday - Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You should all switch to spirits and join some clubs. Will not name them, don't want a huge rush of memberships, but from just three of the clubs I am a member of I can get a vodka and coke for prices ranging from 60p to just over a ?1. Anyone that pays ?7-?8 for a couple of bottles of beer in Edinburgh is quite simply off their fecking heads, tell them to ram it up their holes and go somewhere cheaper.

Cobblers Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Since 1990 the average price of a pint in the On Trade has gone up by 25% more than the rate of inflation. In the same period (largely since 2000) the price of beer in the Off Trade has gone up by 25% less that the rate of inflation. No wonder 5000 boozers have closed in the last 6 years.
