What's the most you've paid for a beer in a pub?
Discussion
If we can extend 'pub' to include any sort of public bar, I visited 'The Beer Park' at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas, it is a roof top bar overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
A 22oz glass (so slightly more than a UK pint) of not very exotic craft beer (they only sell brands owned by Budweiser) was $15 plus tax, some sort of tourist fee and, of course, a tip was expected - I left them $20.
At least the beer was cold and the view was nice.

kers for hours as we did some serious people watching.The most I've paid was £9 in Singapore.
It was the last night of a group trip so we wanted to have a big blowout to celebrate. Turned out Singapore was not the place for that sort of thing. I managed to make two beers last about six hours I think
Still, it wasn't as bad as the lad who said he'd get a round of Singapore Slings in the Raffles hotel earlier. I'll never forget the stunned look on his face when he came back, about £100 lighter in the wallet.
This was about ten years ago. I don't know what it's like now.

With the rise of "craft beer" there's got to be some pretty expensive pints out there now. Went to the Wild Beer Company's bar in Cheltenham last year, pretty sure the beers there were £4 for 1/3 pint. Also bought a few from my local bottle shop in the year including a can (440ml) of Cloudwater DIPA which I think was over £6 and that was to take home and drink!
To be fair to the Crafties, the ultra expensive thirds aren't meant to be drunk in pint volumes due to strength or 'acquired' taste.
I'm sure we could also round-up the price of a 330ml bottle of cooking lager (which can be happily drunk in large volumes) in many bars/clubs and get a similarly eye watering price per pint.

I remember being in Rome with a couple of locals, we sat at a bar watching waiters charge whatever they wanted with tourists and skimming the profit for themselves. You've got to admire that entrepreneurial spirit 
.
I don't recall ever spending more than £6 or £7 for a glass of beer. I've spent more on bottles after getting a bit carried away at the local bottle shop but that's another story.
