I’ve spent quite numerous weekends in London for nearly 2 decades now and I was astonished to see in my regular pubs the same beers taking more than 2£ in the recent years.. I’ve also cut back on my pub trips too when I’m there… A shame as nothing beats a pub for a good time and meeting people.
How many new “Londoners” are allowed to drink for religious reasons?
Not the subject of the article but that guy’s foot placement is insane
Alcohol = Al Khul = body eating spirit. It’s disgusting… Thank goodness people are realising this.
Do we know what’s the reason for riding cost? Cost of raw products, Brexit tariffs or just greed?
Just stop going so they drop the price or go bust! 😁
A place I’ve been going to for years for drinks, was always reasonably priced, I got my tab on Saturday and not only had a pint gone up to £6.90 but they also slapped on a 12.5% service charge, which when queried didn’t actually go to the staff. Manager went crazy when I told him I wasn’t paying the service.
What’s next, hybrid drinking policies?
Don’t worry, Amy’s on the case
Do you want to add a tip to the bill? If not you can also choose to round up.
I’ll fix that title: **Two thirds of Londoners cut down on pub trips over rising costs**
Rising costs aren’t specific to alcohol, everything is going up.
Don’t worry guys, I had a pint this evening, just doing my part to prop up the British economy.

£7 a pint or £7 for 4 nice cans of craft beer, bit of a no brainer tbh, especially in the colder months
My local Youngs pub sells a pint of Guinness for nearly £7 now. The assistant manager says it’s killing the pub as many people aren’t willing/able to pay it so the place is much quieter when it used to be rammed. It only survives because of its close proximity to a premier league stadium so they only really make their money on match days.
Paid £4.90 for a pint in Putney today and genuinely considered moving there.
I had a friend cancel on plans after work tomorrow and I sighed relief as I’ve £40 left for the week and a pint in Holborn reaches £8 these days.
I’ve just read this after spending £21 on 2 pints and 1 chaser in a pub up north, watching the Man City game. Then £10.40 for a Chinese takeaway on the way home.
Was it worth £31? No
Went to a pub today and paid £7.50 for a pint. (Camden Eye) Had 1 then left. Was going to have another, but not at those prices. Walked to another 2 mins away (Devonshire Arms) by which time my mate had arrived and had a few rounds at £5.40 a pint.
Which pub is making a better profit? The one I’ll never go back to or the one I’ll be ripped off to a lesser extent in?
