This is one of the rare occasions where a question allows me to draw on the vast store of useless facts and social trivia that clutter up what was once a beautiful mind ...

1973 a pint of bitter shandy after Sunday league for 14p at the Sackville (Hove Park Tavern)
1974 The Western 16p was first proper pint (sorry, The Paris House)
1978 it was 28p for a pint of Sam Smiths in the Student Union bar (32p for Ruddles if you were a middle-class rugger ****)

Thank you for this opportunity to share.

Same for me, In the early 80's I remember going on a pub darts team outing to France, on the ferry at the bar it was 45p a pint plus you could buy 20 fags for the same. I remember with extreme joy passing my pound note over and getting 20 Rothmans and a pint and 10p change !

9d for a pint of mild in a pub in Plumstead back in 1974 (I think) Me and my mate had to club together the loose change in our pockets to afford buy it and share. Blimey.

9d would have been pre 1960 I would think that meant 9p in 1974 possibly as we charged 10p for a pint of best in our pub on decimalisation day as 1 remember having a ruck with my area manager as the conversion was made to 10p the equivalent of a price rise from1s 8d to 2s

I used the public myself but the Saloon on Saturday nights with my dad and his brother. They wouldnt let my buy a beer as in their eyes I was still a young lad.

This. And then they brought in Carlsberg on draught at 2/6d and people said that lager would never catch on at that price.

 

[Albion_Dave]

98p for a pint of Tennants Extra.

 

[Butch Willykins]

Pint of Stella was £1.95. Bottle of lager (Labbats or Michelob were the cool brands!) was a whopping £2.20

 

[albionite]

£1.60, was outraged when the beer tax went up by 5p and all the pubs put 10p onto the price. If only a decent pint cost that now

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

about 10p in the early 70s.

 

[desprateseagull]

Not old enough for the pub then..

 

[hitony]

1s 10d when I was 16

I think we must be of the same age group! that's around what I remember it as, and about that age.
