Not that I drink the stuff bit it depends where you go. could vary by a couple of quid a pint.

A pub, no fancy bars. Think I paid close to a fiver last time. Cheers

I think he meant where you go in London. A council estate in Kennington might be somewhat different to a bar in Sloane Square

But as a general rule of thumb, pints of stuff are between £4-6.

£10 a pint in the Shard bar........

If you're near the City look out The Pride of Spitalfields near Brick Lane. £3.50 for a pint of London Pride. Has to be the cheapest, closest to anywhere useful, apart from Wetherspoons of course...

And I assume people pay that simply so other people can see they've payed double the normal price for a pint and be impressed?

I don't get people sometimes..

Aye, it'd be bloody hard to hand-pump from the cellar - not to mention cleaning the pipes

Put it on the expenses. And you're paying for the view.

Clever post, your second line is indicated by what you said in the first line.

Sadly, a bit out of the way. SW1 postcode remains pricey (as expected).

Best ( cheapest) places are Sam Smiths Houses

This. I was stunned when I got a pint for £2.50, in London! This was a few years ago, mind

My girlfriend took me, and paid that, to celebrate my becoming chartered and getting RICS accredited after going back to university for four years, moving 400 miles from home then working for 2.5 years while studying.

I only wish I'd known how you'd have viewed us, sitting there purely to be seen to be drinking something at a tenner a pint. Maybe the evening wouldn't have been quite so bloody delightful.

Look, my eyes are rolling too.

Yeah, Taddy's is £3.25 in Sam Smiths pubs currently. Great!

[LordGrover]

What are prices like up t'North anyway?
You can pay a lot more in town (Bath/Bristol), especially for that yellow lady beer but out here in civilised surrounds it's £3.00-£3.50 for proper beer in most proper locals. That's for your c. 4% ABV beers, go north of 5% and you'll pay a little more.

Two drinks will see change from a tenner. As to how much change is anyone's guess, depends what mood the person serving you is in, whether they're mid text/conversation and whether there's anything on the rill. You might just get silver, it might have copper as well

I probably couldnt tell you how much a pint actually is, I only really go out with a few people so it's generally a few drinks in a round
