Mick Mac Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 uni in belfast 1986. Buy one pint get one free. First pint 80p get 2nd pint free so 40p per pint and as v young 4 pints would get you drunk so 160 did the trick on first week of uni (university as we called it then....)

indiepanda Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Can't quite recall the first, but when I was at university it was ?1.30 for a pint of strongbow in the bar. For some reason ours wasn't union ran so it wasn't that much cheaper than going to town. I think we only ever drank there because town was a bus ride away so no use for a quick one near closing time - it had all the charm & atmosphere of an airport terminal lounge.

Brendan Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Can't quite remember the first pint I ever bought, it was probably in about 1993/4 (date wise not ?1993/4). I do remember when I was a student 96-2000ish they would have 99cents a beer parties. Which converted into pommy money is about sixpence.

jollybaby Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Our student bar was so corrupt that you rarely had to pay for a drink and if you did you even got more money back in change than you gave over. Not surprising that the whole thing went under and external people had to be brought in to run it (rather than some pissed up member of the rugby team). Happy days!

Huguenot Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Did you go to Warwick indiepanda?The largest bar there is/was actually called 'The Airport Lounge' for very good reason!My first pint was probably ?1.10 at the Five Ways Hotel in Worcester around 1986. I believe it was Hofmeister, but I graudated to Kronenbourg 1664 very shortly afterwards at ?1.35.My ?5.00 pocket money could thus just accommodate 4 pints of the hard stuff each Friday night. Just enough to get me twinkled.

red devil Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hugs, when I worked in Hong Kong 14 years ago it was ?6 a pint, more for the black stuff. What's the going rate these days in your neck of the woods?

Huguenot Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 It depends where you go really.In the 24 hour restaurant across the road (the equivalent of the local pub I guess) a 660ml bottle (1.2 pints) is $6, which was 2 quid a couple of months ago, but now it's 3 quid as the pound tumbled.On Boat Quay (the tourist centre-of-town equivalent) it's $12 for a pint now meaning around 6 quid. As you can imagine, I don't go there much.Honkers is the same (so prices must have dropped), with Wan Chai one of the most expensive areas around 6 to 8 quid, and most popular with tourists. In Kowloon you can get thrashed much more cheaply.

mockney piers Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ha yeah, I went out in Wan Chai, but not for long, blimey!! (though little dave found the wan chai equivalent of behind-the-door kebab and wine there, which was much more reasonable.First pint? Greene King IPA at the Three Horseshoes in Willian 1988, I guess about ?1.60 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5381-the-price-of-the-first-pint-drinki-ever-bought-was/#findComment-172471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brum Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 In 1980, as a sailor, I was 'issued' booze at 22.5p a can every day I was at sea. We were rationed to only 2 cans a day though.

Much smaller uni than Warwick - just had the one bar in those days (it's pushing 15 years and I know the uni has expanded since I left, so might be quite different now) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5381-the-price-of-the-first-pint-drinki-ever-bought-was/#findComment-172670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
