Two cocktails for £13 doesn’t sound too bad tho (but pretty sure it’s watery as hell if it’s Farringdon)
It is the Shakespeare and it does have a cat. Perhaps a cat tax has been included.
If you really want to choke on your beer try the Sutton Arms (lovely but bejesus)
Oof. Essentially it now feels impossible to go for a post work drink in central.
Get to zone 2 and there’s still bargains to be had during the week. 2 locals to me, one is £4 all night Wednesdays. The other is £4 ales every monday/tuesday and £7 cocktails 6-7 every day.
You’ll also spend half an hour waiting for that pint while the barman does his Tom Cruise impression, so he can put mixologist on his cv…
£7 a pint.. feck me you can get a good pint of Craft in a taproom for that.
I am more than happy to pay £7 for a pint if it’s a good pint in a nice place but the days of normal people being able to dwindle away an afternoon at the pub are fading fast.
Unhappy hour
Happy for whom?
Count yourself lucky. Cocks are £13.
For a second I thought they were offering two cocks for £13
I was about to ask for the location but then I read it again and got sad
In their defence two cocktails for £13 is clearly the sell here and actually seems like a fairly good deal for the area.
They will price at whatever they can sell. If you buy it they will keep it at that price.
Happy hour for the manic maybe
As someone previously said, I guess the USP is the cocktails (not bad 2x£13)
London pints have generally reached this price point sadly (barring Wetherspoons, of course) this is sad. This is roundabout the price of most pints in any pub in London currently but marketed as a bargain.
Sad Hour.
Shakespeare in Barbican?
London’s worst happy hour!!! I’m been meaning to post this for a few months. It’s an “estate” pub too.. not even that nice
Amazing. Pint of whiskey please
Make mine a pint of champagne
Yuppy hour
Coventry 2002.
The Varsity Pub.
Tuesdays was happy hour.
All drinks were £1
This is all on gentrification. Say thank you to the middle class hipsters from the back end of nowhere for your £7 pints.
I might be wrong but.. isn’t 5-7, two hours? So it’s actually “Happy Hours”
In that case, I’ll have a pint of single malt.
Bloody hell. Thats almost as much as we pay in Australia for a pint.
I’d like a pint of gin please.
I’m more annoyed by the fact that it’s a happy hour, but lasts from 5-7.
The Shakespeare
We used to be a proper effing country
Cocktails*
*single measure G&T
Maybe it’s a sign from the future? In 2045 when the average pint costs £14
THAT is preposterous. 2 pints of Jaipur at Fox on the Hill JD Wetherspoon for £6.58 standard price £3.29 no special happy hour… Just Happy Days.
The Marian Anderson does £5 Guinness. Weird pub but cheap.
British Politicians don’t drink pints (except in photo ops) hence the spiteful tax levied on beer.
If you don’t think this is part of the class war being waged by the public school cocaine decision makers you are much mistaken.
Note that since the smoking ban, you can still sit in cigar shops with wine and spirits and smoke, because …. well it’s obvious isn’t it?
Doesn’t sound very happy to me
It’s like they WANT to start a fight with every visiting Northerner!

Since I paid 14euros for a can of beer in Lisbon a few weeks ago, £7 does not look that bad LOL. But I guess it’s for some shite Carlsberg or Guinness.

Wonder why pubs close down…
(Un)happy hour
