Drink prices at the Amex

[Falkor]

Exactly where do you drink if you don't think this is normal?

Bit steep for ale maybe, but as lager prices go it's pretty much spot on unless you only ever drink in a Wetherspoons

In ashford i drink in one pub and its 2.09 and in another and its 3-19, the 3-19 is a privatley run pub aswell.

In Newhaven i think the most i have paid is 3.30.

It was 3.70 at the RoseBowl on Sunday which I though was ok. Was expecting £4 plus

yeah, brighton is a bit more upmarket than newhaven

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

£3.60/£3.80 is pretty much standard for a shit lager/slightly better lager combo in brighton, if anything its possibly at the cheaper end of the price spectrum

i'd generally expect to pay a bit less than £3.60 for ale though

We were talking about Brighton.

If you can find a pub in the city that ISN'T a cheapo chain such as Wetherspoons or Yates that does a pint of lager for under three quid then I salute you. However I spend a lot of time drinking in our fair city and I have NOT come across lagers for less than £3.40 - £3.80 in any normal pub (outside of Happy Hours). As others have mentioned it is not uncommon to pay more than £4 for a pint so this rate of £3.60 I think is jolly reasonable for a stadium where the captive customer base has no alternative

I have not drunk in Brighton for about 5 years lmao, i only just moved down here and still in the process of doing that. So the furthest pub i have been to is the Shore is Seafood so far lmao

Drumstick, I never said you were lieing or that it was not a genuine photo, or that the board was not up at Falmer; just that it didn't look to me like the definitive board that would be in real use.

Very much NOT this

strongbow is cider??

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Really hope that list is wrong. Lacking Heineken and Hophead. Thought there'd be a decent cider too. Prices aren't spectacular but certainly within reason, except 2 quid for a pepsi

 

[johnhammond]

You should be pleased with 3.80 for a pint. We have $9.50 (about 6 pounds) for an American sized pint (16oz instead of 20) at both the football and baseball stadiums here. There is a lot more choice though (each kiosk has a different choice of 2 taps; there's about 4 crap lagers and 10 decent microbrews, which change each week, spread out around the ground). And it's $4.50 for a bottle of Coke.

(Well it's only $8.50 if you want the Bud Lite or similar, but the extra dollar is worth it for a proper beer).

As for the sign, the numbers do look weirdly aligned/sized/placed in relation to each other. Strange.

 

[Snorfy]

Why is it that everywhere, including it seems the Amex, like to charge excessive prices for soft drinks? Answer, excessive profits!

 

[attila]

We will have Hophead. And Symond's is the premium cider. I've put some info on another thread.

cant wait to have a real ale at a football match, get in my son
