How much is a pint of, say, Guinness? £3.15 a pint for Guinness. |

Yeah, I always enjoyed pubs on my own too if there was no one to go with, even if it's a new pub to me, never bothered me. I meant total punters, and 100 is a lot.
The last Wetherspoons I was in was the Montagu Pyke in Cambridge Circus where Guinness cost 6.66. It's one of the few Wetherspoons that have big screens for live sports.
Huh? Is that £2-odd for a PINT???

Sharp's Doom Bar is £2.10

Leffe Blonde is a fine premium drink, I've been told. But still at well under five pounds for a 6.6% drink is excellent value, you have to say.

Although I hadn't been going as often this past year. |

How much is John Smiths, if they stock it. Smoothest pint I've ever had. Almost too smooth - once you take the first gulp it's hard to put the glass down and before you know it you're ordering again.

And Worthington's is just as good as Smiths. I can't believe it's 1.86. And Guinness at 3.15 is just mad.

My favourite smooth pint is Landlord by Timothy Taylor. Don't see it much up here. No John Smith's either, alas. |

Can't beat the price though. They used to stock Deuchar's IPA here and it was under £2. That was definitely my fave. Cracking pint. Don't have it anymore. |

Years ago I liked John Bull, a sort of non-creamy butter, a bit like Youngs or Courage Best. I drink according to the climate mostly. In the height of summer it'll be a lager top while other seasons have their own drinks.
It sounds alright there, as long as it's not ear-splittingly loud. I can take foul language as long as it's not issued at the tops of people's voices.

I've never tried IPA to my knowledge.
