Quote from: toby47 on November 14, 2023, 12:14:10 PMI like Stix and Stones, its a stone throw away & they charge £5.50 for a pint of Heverlee - and I'm sure they are making a right profit at that. £7.50 is an absolute piss take.

It's the first time I was nearly tempted to not order a pint - it near killed me to pay it.

Charge you less for a pint, cause they get it back with you cooking your own food.. Another fraud

Don't think its a fraud. Hot stone is a novelty and the main feature of the restaurant and a selling point for most I imagine.

It's not a fraud, merely a pointless gimmick.

Was more of a restaurant, Cafe Persian right at the city hall.

Food was great, and not overly pricey - around £20 for most main courses. But I couldn't believe a Guinness was £7.20 & the only other option on draft was a Heverlee for £7.50.



Owned by Galgorm Resort outfit, charging Galgorm Resort prices. They also own pizza place opposite Europa, wonder is it similar prices?

$13 for a Guinness in one of the downtown Toronto Irish pubs at the weekend - before tax and tip

About a tenner, then another couple of quid at least for tax and tip. Hope you didn't pay it GH!!

It's getting that you have to save up for a night in a City now. Sure if you take the Mrs it's £10 a G&T or £15 for a cocktail. It's just not that worth it anymore!

Home is getting as bad too and the price isn't coming down anytime soon! The Govt seem happy enough for all the bars to disappear.

More juice than alcohol. Only thing is the time it takes making them the bar person could pull a pile of pints. Word of warning, be careful if you're ever making cocktails at home, one minute you're drinking what tastes like fruit juice the next you are full drunk!
