Ministry of Sound: £4.50 for a bottle of beer!

In between paying out of your skin for badly faked branded lager.

I doubt Pacha sells fake branded lager but the big clubs are a tiny part of it. And the "hedonist" thing as a whole is only a small part of it too really. It's there if you want it but there is the rest of the Island which is really beautiful and peaceful.

Thats why I love the place, you can mix 'n' match anything you want there.
 
Apparently, that's what they charge punters for a regular bottle of ordinary beer, making it £9 a pint!!! :eek: :eek:

Yet another reason to avoid the place like the plague.

I've only ever been there once for an awards party thing and that was bad enough - the only highlight was Eme nicking a bottle of champagne from behind the bar. :D

Gods way of telling people not to be into shite ravey davey gravy music!
 
4 quid a pint in a regular pub in london? haha...fuck that.


i'll add that to my already massive list of reasons not to live in london.


sorry, i know theres a lot of proud londoners here, but (actually apart from brixton), ive found it to be a shithole full of idiots.
 
One man in his 20s shot dead, and a 29 year old man in hospital with a gunshot wound.

Just watched feargal Sharkey on Chanel 4 news. The police are looking to insist venues let them know what sort of music an event will be presenting so they can police them appropriately. The inference that 'music of a black origin' is more violent than other music. Feargal stated that this was ridiculous and racist, commenting "the police have said that this was near a night club, they could have also stated it was near a chip shop" ... he does have a point!

Nah it's more like 3 quid generally which is really about the same as up here in Newcastle.

I noticed though the last time I was in London it's creeping beyond £3 in most places. I had a pint in a normal pub by Tottenham Court Road and it was £3.40 or something around that for a 1664. Though to be fair there was an offer of £2.50 for a pint of Pride so an average of £3 is about right

form 696, there is quite a lot of opposition to it. It is actually already in use for some places where there has been regular trouble previously.
If it does get generalised and imposed as part of Licence conditions it is truly going to fuck up smaller live venues, if you want to take a look at the Full Form in Microsoft Doc format. Apparently the "ethnic group" question has now been removed but it still a hellish thing to fill.

Wetherspoon ar ehte cheapest to drink in, but not exactly the most fun places. Prices in other pubs when high are usually due to the Licencee having a lease through a pub owning company and having to buy their drinks through them by contract and having to pay 50% or more than what they could get it at if free to choose their supplier.
 
:o i paid €15 for a bottle of beer at the monaco grand prix :o

and someone tried to charge me 49 Francs for a pint of Guiness at the Pompidou centre in Paris. I demurred. The exchange rate was 7 Francs to the pound.

My mate went to one of those bog standard Brasseries but right on the Champs Elysees, in the afternoon, so not a late bar or anything, and got a pint of Kronenbourg. They bought the bill: 100 francs. His girlfriend of the time just said to him, don't pay it, she put the beer back on the bar and they walked out...

Yeah but Central London is always going to be a bit more...

I used to regularly drink in the one at the top of Brixton Hill. £1.39 a pint of bitter :). I think you need to take Wetherspoon out of any comparrison of beer prices though, just because with their buying power it's not a level playing field.

I live in Amsterdam now and beer is expensive here. The normal measure is 250ml glass and the price is between 2.20 to 2.50 Euro. The good thing is they don't then rip you off for the Belgian beers here. Price for even the very strongest beer is only about 3 - 3.20 Euro
 
If I went to the MoS it would be for the music and the set that the DJ was playing, if the Judge was there then I would put up with the prices, and as someone else said I would only have a couple then on the water ....

Anyway the last time I went was about 3 months ago on Narcotics Annoymnous night, I was OK there as they didn't sell any alcohol that night, quite sureal being in there clean and sober with like minded peeps :D

I call it the Misery of Sound.

Thing is, when I first went to Amsterdam it was about 4 euros for a pint, but that would be even in a really touristy late night bar, and that was when it was 60p to the euro, so at that time it felt like a bargain, in Western terms, to drink there...
 
£4.50 is the highest price I've seen for a small, half pint bottle of piss weak beer in a club ......

A mate and I went into a bar called Crazy Horse in Geneva and asked for two beers. A girl brought over 2 of those tiny 330ml bottles of Heineken and asked us for 60 francs.

That's about 20 quid per bottle!

We laughed a bit but she was serious. I looked around and saw a load of attractive girls and the bar wearing only underwear and realised we'd wondered into a knocking shop.

:rolleyes:
