How Much Are You Paying?
For your tipple in your local?
I posted this question a few years ago; so time to re-do as so many boozers have gone to the wall.
My nearest pub is a hotel, and a **** take on prices.
Hoegaarden £4.40
Peroni (draught) £4.18
Guiness £3.75
Heineken £3.75
Kron... £3.72
Stella £3.70
Bitters are all around £3.60.
And they wonder why they are going out of business.
Prices I quote are for an affluent area of Surrey, but still a joke. I don't venture out much anymore.
I remember when people moaned about the £2 a pint being broken.

Not affluent obviously and my local is not the closest pub to me, but, shamefully, is a two4one. No idea on prices apart from Kronenberg which = £2.80ish

Coed y Glyn, Green Park, Garden Village, Rossett, Overton, Erbistock all nice areas 
Anyway, Swindon my local is 2.85 for Carling, 2.95 for Stella/1664. We have some local bitters arund the 2.40-2.60 mark.
Two other places I go to, one is Carling at 2.95. The other is 2.30.
The latter is packed solid as you'd imagine, nice pub but no atmosphere. Doesn't have a juke box or football on the TV and is more of a food pub although no kids allowed. No Sky is probably why the beers are cheap.

In Liverpool town centre I can pay upto £2.80 for my bottle of BabyCham, but if I go to a local pub, say on linedancing night I pay less, usually £2.20 a bottle.
I do preffer to go into the Liverpool wine bars though, as you pay more but the plastic/chrome/veneer surroundings are much more pleasing on the eye. And some even stock CherryB which is another favorite of mine.
Cheers.

I'm from Wrexham too..... just don't live there anymore. I moved to Wolverhampton. Not sure which place is better.
As for drinking in the pub..... WHAT and WHERE is a pub? I have not been to a pub for a 'proper' drink for ages, mine is usually a coke or some water!
I tend do get 4 cans of Breaker and enjoy them for the very reasonable price of £2.99.

My village pubs are around £3.60 pint for bitter. My local rough old social club charges £2.20 for the same beer and keeps it really well. This is South Downs, Sussex. My boy is in Dublin and says Guiness is around 6 Euros a pint.

MattW, I only pop back now and then. I took the scoob for a blast around there a few months back. It was nice being on familiar roads for a change, and just being able to drive and know where I was going. A bit of Lane bashing blew the cobwebs away!

It's full of blokes with shaved heads that carry a faint whiff of BO though
.Not been back to the motherland for a while, so not sure about northern prices....
