£7.50p a pint. That’s it I’m out

[W11PEL]

Ok I live in Zone 1/2 London so understand the overheads are a lot more punchy they say arse end of nowhere.

But today a line has been crossed. £7.50p for a pint at the bar from the pump.

I’ve noticed pubs round my way remain a lot less busy. Well I cannot justify these new exorbitant prices.

Wetherspoons it is if I want a few beers!!!

Yup I was in a pub near Liverpool Street before Xmas and it was about that if not more ( i was well oiled by the time I got there so didn’t care .. it was a feck me moment when I saw the “tap tap” damage

It was over £10 for a glass of wine which was really a pisstake !

I believe it’s cheaper in Mexico….

Pre lockdown I went to the pub a lot and never once thought about the price.

I've spent a couple of years enjoying Lidl's finest at 99p to £1.39 for 500 cc & now £5 a pint seems expensive.

I can't be the only one who has been altered this way.

Actually I was flat hunting in Eastern Europe a few weeks ago.

£2 a pint there.

Will advise on Mexico when I get there!

I live in Islington and my local is 6.50 a pint. Horrible.

Strange that many pubs are struggling.

Wonder why with joke prices often for stty beer.

Where was that?
That’s expensive - I pay around 6-7zl when I’m in Poland. That’s about £1.20 or so.

Was the pub busy?

Lovely place that. Had my wedding breakfast upstairs.

De Beauvoir Arms is my local now.

I’d say 50% of usual custom.

But it is January and we have convid still hanging about.

A guy at the bar when I was paying also protested with he got his bill!
