I'm sure many of the people who work in the city will echo my claim. Many of the nicer venues will charge this for relatively normal drinks, and I've been charged £9 for a double JD and coke in a total dump before now.
The trouble with the city is it's so pretentious. People want to be seen to have money and so they will buy expensive drinks regardless of whether it's justifiable. This then causes the bars to raise their prices, and people just start paying even more!I've had one pint of Stella in my life, and that was only because I was letting someone have the honour of pouring it!
Yep, totally agree. Not personally a fan of drinking in London. Tend to avoid it if possible (unless work are paying of course). Thing is, you go out after work and you are expected to buy a round, this can easily come to £50-£60 for 6 or so people. Does get very expensive.
On a normal night out locally, normally spend around £80-100 after a taxi. Depends where I am going etc and if I am out to get ruined or not

These threads do make me laugh. Really does show how some of the OcUK community have no idea about the outside world
