That used to be one of the pubs nearest to my house. Not only has it always been a bit pricey, the atmosphere was worse than a Leyton Orient home game, full of old duffers and pool snobs. Probably why I drunk in The Edinburgh and The Nightingale (As they were then) instead.

But you want to thank yourself lucky. A pint of not very good Guinness or Kilkenny will set you back 1000 yen here. Thats a fiver.

My favourite beer Hooegarden is expensive anywhere you go. Served in a great glass though. It's usually about £4.50 a pint in the town centre.

I know it's not a pub, but that bar/restaurant place The Plaza down on the seafront is v.expensive - I think it's £3.10 for a bottle of bud!

ocean rooms is £3.60 for a bottle of Sahi (jap beer which is about 89p each in any offy).

I thought it was expensive because the hooegarden glass was a little bit greater in volume than a pint.

The Hampdon - nice pub and all, but feck me - as overpriced as they come.

Cooper's Cask in Hove. Can remember the prices exactly but there wasn't much change from a tenner for two pints of Guinness and a gin and tonic.

And they had some poxy wannabe DJ who thought she was cool. Er, you're just putting records on. What's so cool about that?

It is actually the same size as a pint glass....just a kind of illusion!

Pump and pull sells it for £2.50 i believe......or £3 one of the two!

I'll tell you a pricey place,I think its called the ebony room at the marina.it is nice in there but when you get a little doily under your glass and waitresses come round and ask if you want another drink you know your in trouble.I think it was about 3.50 for san migal.

Just to put this into perspective I paid £6 for a pint of lager in Paris New Years Day.

Very ordinary bar - next to Notre Dame

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I know France is pricey in a bar.You must be able to go to a supermarket and buy a crate of beer and have change for what you pay for 1 drink in a bar.Would you ever go out over there?

I seem to remember paying £3 to Ecovert for a bottle of Becks in the Withdean hospitality bar.

I love Paris and I fancied a pint.

If you weigh it up - the foods better and cheaper and you'll get a much nicer hotel for the same price as a hotel in Brighton.

Plus as it was new years eve - I would have been probably been charged 40 quid get into a place in London. I wasn't in Paris even near the Eifell Tower.

I agree the Hoegarden thing is a big con. I seem to remember when they started selling that, it wasn't that expensive.

(Its coriander seeds that give it the taste isn't it ?)

What f*cks me off in London ( I guess its the same at the Brighton Center?) is the price you get charged for a can of lager at somewhere like Brixton academy when you buy a can of Stella in Brixton for about 90p if you know where to go

They had a great promotion a year or two back where you got a free Hooegarden half-pint glass every time you bought a pint of the stuff. Just about made Hooegarden good value for money for a short period. Lovely beer tho. (smiley may not depict actual pint of Hooegarden)
