    £8 for a pint of alcoholic liquid sounds like a deal, my Mrs was knocking back glasses of chardonnay in Nathan Outlaws restaurant in Rock, Cornwall the other day at £17.00 a glass, nowhere near a pint in quantity.

    I live in West Yorkshire. Now and again you see a £5 pint, but usually under. It was about £2-3 not long ago. Proper beer too. 
    Idle working man's club its about £2.50-£3.00 a pint.  Most places in Leeds are about 4-5 quid a pint, Bradford normally slightly cheaper.

    Was paying about 4.50 in morley at the weekend.

    Yesterday in Hayes it was about the same.

    How many of us are there in West Yorks?
    Wakefield?

    A few I believe - I’m in Ilkley. I work in Bradford but worked in Leeds for a few years previously.

    edit: there’s a Yorkshire Addicks Facebook group. I don’t really use Facebook but keep an eye on it. When I travelled down to the Doncaster away playoff game in 2019, Leeds station was full of Charlton fans.

    Warrington £3.60 for a great pint of Wainwright. Was in Scotland at the weekend and a great pint (really) of Tennants. Both beers hold onto their head until drunk 👍

    You’re drinking in some rough places at £2 even in West Yorks!

    As I don't drink bitter can anyone say why it seems (based on the figures given here) that lager is so much more expensive.

    I’ve been in Wakefield for years and recently got my first £5 pint, was horrified. Seems to be around the £4-4.20 mark mostly. Defo more like £5 in Leeds as standard these days

    Yeah Leeds has hit the £5 mark mostly. Ilkely varies but generally around £4 now.

    Bitter is for damp smelling old blokes with long beards / hair and washed out beer festival t-shirts on, who are on ther verge of brewing their own, and lager is for normal people

    To go back to the OP, the boozer averaging over £8 a pint must be selling some very exclusive niche stuff. I go to the Crown on Trafalgar Road relatively often these days, and there are several really interesting beers that I rarely see elsewhere. For that, in Greenwich, I'm paying anywhere from £6.50-£7.20 a pint (higher percentage - 6.7% etc - more expensive), which is pricey, but EIGHT quid?! What do they have on?!

    The Ashburnham Arms is a regular, too, and that'll be £5.50-£6 per pint, which is about standard when I'm not in a Spoons.

    I ordered a pint in the bankers cat in Leeds a couple of weeks ago and he told me it was 7.20 a pint before he pulled it.

    I’d ask if you enjoyed it but presume (and hope) you told him not to carry on pulling?

    Anything over a fiver is profiteering. You know you can get it for under £3 a pint in the supermarket and they are still making a decent profit on that. I like real ale/craft beers and the 'shop-pubs' have been great but boy are they over-charging. They usually run one or two cheaper lines at £4.XX but most are way over a fiver and often £6 plus.  CIU clubs (eg The Radical Club in Plumstead) still manage to serve pints at well under a fiver and their costs won't be miles away from regular pubs. It's really no wonder large high street pubs are going out-of-business.

    Because people with the taste buds of a teenager deserve ripping off?  :D

    Was in the Pelton Arms the other week and the price of a pint went up from £6.80 to £7.50 at 9pm.

    Couldn't believe it was £15 for two pints, I'm not tight at all but bloody hell. I'm not going to be going the pub very often for a while*.

    *It's only £4 a pint at the golf club which is where I'll get my fix.

    Would've agreed 15 odd years ago, but some of the lagers out nowadays are lovely.
