What is the most you've ever paid for a drink in a pub?

Since the good weather has come out, I'm sure we've all been enjoying going out and sitting in beer gardens, but one thing that I've noticed recently is the price of drinks in pubs, including non-alcoholic drinks. The other day, I was waiting on my mate for lunch in a pub in Glasgow. I was driving and because it was so warm, I asked the barman for a pint of soda water and blackcurrant. He went to the till to check the price, and I had just taken my first sip and he said "that'll be 2 pounds please sir". I nearly choked on it, and he just looked at me blankly and said "that's how much it is, I'm afraid". I mean, how can they justify 2 pounds for a bit of carbonated water, and a dash of cordial? It means they're making about £1.50 profit on one drink alone and I would just be as well getting a pint of lager for what I was paying. What is the most you've ever had to pay for a drink in a pub, and do you think these prices are killing the industry, as most pubs are dead during the week?

 

Paid £4.90 for a pint a few months back. Was nearly crying.

 

Its the cost of soda drinks that really * me off, in the USA you get free refills almost everywhere, yet here you need to keep paying for a diet coke or coke at like 1.50 or 2 quid, maybe more and it costs them pennies. Ridiculous rip off to get soda drinks anywhere apart from Pizza hut or a place like that where they offer free refills.

 

Nah seriously... WKD 4 pound odd, thought I was taking the cheapest option ffs!!!!

 

I once spent an hour waiting in one pub, only to have been stuck behind this * trying to talk to a barmaid that clearly wasn't interested, in the slightest.

By the time she rang the Polis and I eventually did get served they'd * ran outta tennents so had to buy a Peroni at £5

 

A tenner for a jd and coke at the O2 arena lol

Edit: and that was for a single lol

 

The Hilton in Glasgow £5.30 for a pint of Guinness fuking joke

 

Paid £10 for 2 small bottles of Budweiser. Shocked, was in a small nightclub in Achill, Co Mayo.

 

was down in London last year and was in a sports bar at trafalgar square and was paying £4.50 a pint, then went down to the embankment and seen a cocktail bar with a happy hour from 5-7. we got in at 5.10 and stayed to 7.
every drink was half price. my wife and sis-in -law were drinking cocktails which cost £10-14 for £5-7, and me and my bruv were drinking pints which should have cost £6 for 3 quid.

thieving, robbing cockney b*st*rds.

 

Bought two pints of lager at Turnberry Golf Resort, still having nightmares.

 

Its a standard £7 a pint in Dubai!

 

Festival season here, at the moment, so beer prices are up to $6 a drink. Twice what they usually are.

 

about £4 for 1664 at the airport then £3.50 for a little can on the flights, paid £1.75 for a Carling on Saturday night,

 

Bought a round for 6 in Bilberry near Charing Cross a few months ago. 36 bangers. Never again!

 

Was in this nightclub in Battersea, London last month called Bunga Bunga, knew it was posh as some of the girls I was with who were locals told me about seeing Prince Harry and that type of mob in there.

Went straight in and up to the bar with these other 3 lads, ordered 4 jaegerbombs for us thinking it'll be about £4 a jaeger since its quite high tier so pulled out a £20 and the guy behind the bar still stood there lookin at me funny. Turned out it was £9 a * jaeger so nearly £40. Was absolutely affronted.

Paisley boys dont belong in this type of establishment.

 

This thread is too normal for Gary

 

in my younger days while working aboard a oil tanker ,we called into redivick in Sweden or somewhere like that{memory loss] well i did"y forget the price of 4 pints ,it was 11 squid ,,well you might think that's a steal but this was 30 years ago ,,,slan

 

That 02 place, used to be the carling centre, was like £7 for a bottle of beer, The price of drinks in bars and clubs in the city are a rip off, you'll need to spend at least £50 if you're out all night drinking, if you're buying your bird drinks then even more !

 

A pint in sweden will cost you 5-8 quid and a drink cost 7-11 quid. Would love to have the scottish prices
