I've been to a few of these. They had one at the LSE SU, and one at the Kings SU once. It's actually quite fun lol.

Used to do this at the Glasshouse in Lincoln. Usually took 15mins to get served on a good day, here you could be 30+ and in that time what you thought was a £8 round could easily go to £12 or higher.

I went to one of these at uni... 70p pernods.

My mate went to the bar when aftershocks were 80p a pop, then they jumped up to £2 a go i remember screaming at a mate buy pernod buy pernod... it was great fun.

pints 80p a go too... great fun.

How the hell does it work? I can see it in an established context (computerised for example) but it seems pretty hard to run at a student bar o.o

Skull · 22 Nov 2009 at 08:28

I think that sounds like an interesting concept and I'd like to see it in action...
