TimeBandit Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Meeting a mate in town (probtown centre, george street, rose street etc..) at end of month/beginning of feb for a few pints.. anywhere round there do (preferably) ipa or real ale for under ?2.20 a pint?.. (i like a challenge!!).. for instance,.. are there any wetherspoons or lloyds etc in that vicinity?.. (is stadning order cheap?) I absolutely refuse to pay more than ?2.20 a pint.. I will have tap water and a dash of blackcurrant if need be!! its the principal of the thing.. I'm not exactly flush these days and sometimes common sense must prevail! (we're going out though, thats not debatable!).. any help greatly appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Alexander Graham Bell at the west end of George Street, and generally a decent pint not John Smiths or the like. Last time I was in IPA was ?1.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The last time i was in Standing Order (it was a while ago to be fair) it was definitely under ?1.50 for a pint of Deuchars, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Harris Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 think weatherspoons do IPA on the cheap - so standing order or that new place at the west end of george street, think it's the alexander graham bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Pretty sure Deuchar's is ?1.65 in the Standing Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeBandit Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Excellant, thanks peeps!! My mate drinks deuchars aswell (although for me its a bit of a treat as we are boycotting spoons in livi and its too damn expensive from the shops..).. It needs to be cheap because It just goes down so well and we will end up totally sessioned by the end of the afternoon.. need a couple of quid for bus home aswell!! Alexander graham bell and standing Order.. added to list (in fact ehy are the list!!).. I dont mind a lack of atmosphere as we generally talk when we get together so the beer and lively chat make the entertainment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckauskas Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I was in just before New year and it was ?1.45 for Deuchars.... Vat increase will probably see that go up, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
