Somewhere along the line we all decided to go across the street to said trendy pub with dance floor, music and flashing lights that was open a bit later. Luckily I decided to visit the cash machine on the way because the same bottle of beer in this place cost £2.40 a go, which by my calculations is around double what I’d been paying only moments earlier.
Another thing that gets me about these places is the lack of options on ‘what’ to drink. Unless you like alcopops, shorts or second rate lager and bitter your out of luck. Considering the fact that the place I had just came from had a great range of reasonably priced guest ales, you might understand why I was a bit less than overwhelmed with what was on offer!
The bottom line is, what exactly are we paying for? Yes its all very nice to go up market a bit now and then ( if you can call this place up market! ), but does it really justify such a huge price hike and poor choice? Maybe it’s the prospect of hoards of party animals banging down the doors to get into the place that has prompted the management to take action, in which case why don’t they just charge admission instead?
