Now you come to mention it, I do recall a "how much?" thought when I bought my round of three drinks, which were a Gun something-or-other, a South Downs Cider rhubarb effort and another cider. It was very possibly £16-something, which felt steep compared to my previous round of two pints for £8...
After visiting the Grizzly Bear and Broodsteed the other night with Papa Lazarou, we then went to visit the Whiskey Rooms, but it was closed.

Grizzly Bear just north of West Worthing Station is an absolute delight.
It was probably the first micropub I'd been to that was as the name suggests: a small pub, in that it serves a selection of drinks for all tastes and not just ale.
Agreed - I've long said it's bizarre how pubs where you can watch football are often pretty poor in most areas, most notably drink selection and food quality.
In a similar vein, pubs for families - with play areas and the like - are also often places you otherwise would not visit with shit...
