A bitter, meanwhile, will set you back on average £3.93, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics.
We’ve put together a list of some of the best value pubs in the city for beer, based on reader recommendations and Google reviews.
We asked those pubs you recommended as great value for drinks to tell us their cheapest pint of beer and how much it costs.
Of course, it’s not all about price. The quality of the beer, the atmosphere and the entertainment are all a big part of the experience when drinking out.
But if you’re looking for a cheap night then these pubs are a good place to start.
We’ve excluded Wetherspoon pubs from this list, where at the time of writing a pint of Worthington’s Creamflow was priced just 99p in the sale, while a Bud Light cost £1.99.
The prices were correct as of the dates included with each listing, between January 8 and January 12, 2025.
