How much was a pint when you could first drink?

[Doc Lynam]

£2:40 and it only took two and half and i was gone

 

[banjo]

Under a quid. Not sure how much under.

 

[happypig]

A pint of Watneys Special (although it was far from "special") in the Buccaneer, 49p

Could go out, get pissed, bag of chips and bus home for a fiver.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Drank in the Hove Park Tavern when certain beers were a pound a pint. Regular ones must have been about £1.50

 

[Greyrun]

One shilling and ten pence(9p).

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Banks's Mild 67p a pint - 1987

A pint of Watneys red barrel, and 10 number 6, was 60p,same price as a weeks school dinner money, conveniently

 

[forrest]

From memory my local charged £1.65 for a pint of bitter, £1.75 pint of fosters and £2 for a pint of Guinness. Happy days as 20 B&H were about £1.99 and a kebab about £2. so you could have a good night out for £20!

 

[fat old seagull]

Off the top of my head it was about .... a shilling, but a brown and mild was a penny or so dearer.... Feck me, I must be as old as I feel. But reckon I could still take a better penalty than Puncheon

 

[vegster]

About 30 p !

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

1s 10d when I was 16

 

[jonsey]

not sure as was not old enough to buy a pint at that stage................King and Barnes did sell a larger that was 50p during the promotion, god it was rough.................

Could get a ticket at the tunnel end of Wembley, the train up and a few cans plus a burger for less than £20.......oh the good OLD days

 

[Shuggie]

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.

You could always bung the blokes on the turnstiles at Wembley a quid to let you crawl under the gate as well

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.

 

[Cesar Chavez]

38p

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

K&B Sussex...92p up the local

9d for a pint of mild in a pub in Plumstead back in 1974 (I think)

Decimalisation was in 1971, even in Plumstead, so I think not

 

[Captain Sensible]

Think between about £1.20 and £1.60. Although alot of student promo's at the time were 50p pints 1992-1995. I remember a club opposite the cinema in Weststreet doing 40p pints circa 1992, Think it was the Basement.

 

[BensGrandad]

Pint of mild & bitter in The Clifton Worthing was 10d about 4p in modern money
