sked21 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It's been over a fiver in George Street for years. Not at the Standing Order. A pint of Tennents and a Vodka and Coke for ?3.50 (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Not at the Standing Order. A pint of Tennents and a Vodka and Coke for ?3.50 (I think). George Street or not, I wouldn't pay any more than that for a drink in there. The worst pub in Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Dance Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Ahh the old Peroni mistake. Some places are kind enough to let you know the price before they pour it, however, many won't and will take at least a fiver from you - with all the other lager taps laughing at you as you hand it over....

pammiep Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Asked for 2 pints of Peroni in the Orocco Pier in S.Queensferry, the barman kindly told me it was ?5 a pop... Two Tennants then please mate : ) How much is it for a pint of say John Smiths. We're going to a wedding there in August. At ?5 a pint I better start saving. Beer is so much cheaper in Glenrothes. We drank Peroni in Italy at the world cup in 1990 it's certainly not worth a fiver for a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The feckers are just taking the **** with the prices for a pint now.You can get 3 660ml bottles of Peroni for ?4 out of the supermarket.I grudge paying ?2.85 out of my local for a pint of Kronenburg as do most folk hence why it is now empty and the local legion is now full of punters drinking Carling at ?1.65 pint.Most pubs just won't be happy until they have no customers at all.As for clubs well you know your going to be ripped off before you go in the door.

S.N.T.H. Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Peroni's brilliant, IMO. But i refuse to pay over ?3.50 for a pint, even on GS these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 ?3.45 for a pint of Fosters in Shanghai last night. Not the most I've paid but a complete rip-off nevertheless. ?4.25 for a Kronenbourg Blanc in Bar Sirius about 5 years ago is still the most I've paid for a pint.

Legend Claws Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Peroni is ok but I don't understand why these places charge what they do for it! I always classes Peroni as a beer you got by default when you asked for one in an Italian restraunt and would be charged a couple of quid not some over the top 'premium' brand. I reckon the quality of pints has dipped drastically due to bar 'managers' not having a clue how to look after the beer/pumps etc. I drink bottles most of the time now.

Very true. But see what happens if you want to sit down with your mates and drink your beer in the supermarket. Pubs have, and always will be more expensive than supermarkets. And if you're drinking in trendy, shiny shoe bars in George Street, then what the hell do you expect? One of the main reasons why I never drink in George Street. But hey, if people will continue to buy it at these prices, people will continue to sell it at these prices. If you don't want to pay for overpriced beer in overpriced bars, don't drink in them. And ?2.85 for Kronenbourg in Edinburgh is pretty reasonable. They're probably not even making 50% profit on that. The difference in price for a keg of Carling and a keg of Kronenbourg is probably ?50 quid a keg. I'd reckon the Legion is probably making the same profit margin on Carling as your local makes on Kronenbourg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dix Handley Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Just ask if you can get your drinks at QFA prices(they wont like that). Used to be a spit and sawdust hole in the wall.What is it with all these up thier a**e establishments sucking the life out of local communities? Go to the Tap or the Anchor before reception,if you get the chance. Much Cheapness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
