At a typical bar/restaurant/nightclub where you live, what would you say is the average price for 1 drink? Nevermind happy hour or other specials, nevermind what you would tip, nevermind server comps, I’m interested in the actual charged price of 1 drink?
For these purposes:
Drink = alcoholic beverage.
1 drink = 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, or 1 cocktail.
So how much and where do you live?
In DC it’s generally about $8.00 a drink.
I put $5 - $7 here in Ottawa.
3-5 and I live in Bumfuck, Minnesota.
I usually accompany folks who pick up the tab at bars, so it wasn’t until I went to a bar by myself for the first time this week that I realized drinks are freaking expensive. I thought $9 for a six pack of bottles at the store was expensive, but both a beer and a Captain and Coke were $4 and change. And apparently that’s on the low end. Damn.
Depends here in Firenze…**Savoy ** Hotel12 euroes Friends Irish Pub 5 euroes.
The bars I go to in west Hollywood usually charge 6. But at the trendier bars like the Abbey the same drink can be 14.
I don’t honestly pay a lot of attention, but if I think really hard I seem to recall a pint in my favorite pub being $3.50, so I went with that.
The places I regularly drink, beers are $5 or $6 and mixed drinks are between $6 and $9.
I’ve been to places here in NYC where a drink is $12 to $18. Luckily, I’m not a very classy dame, so I don’t have to go to those kinds of places often.
A beer would run from 4 to 9 USD, and a mixed drink (4cl) 6 to 10. Göteborg, Sweden.
Oh yeah, I should have mentioned this was in Phoenix, AZ.
I love in a mid-sized city in the south and it varies, depending on whether you’re ordering a beer or mixed drink. I’d say for a beer, about $3 is average, and for a mixed drink $5-$7.
Live in a small city and it’s $3-$5 for a beer (depending on whether you get macrobrew pilsner like Bud/Miller/Coors or a craft/microbrew), and $5-$6 for a well drink.
I said $5-$7, but it really depends on what neighborhood you’re in and what type of establishment.
I’m in Chicago.
I can’t remember the last time I bought a mixed drink, but average price for a beer here seems to be $3.50 in Omaha, NE
L.A. - Regularly pay $12-15 for a mixed or wine. We don’t go real high-end, usually, more high-middle (chains - like Roy’s, Flemings).
Depending on the bar and night, between $1 and $7 for a regular bottle of beer and about $2-$10 for mixed drinks.
Thinking of the fly downtown restaurants in this midwestern college town… a mixed drink would be $4 - $8.
At my favorite bar I get a great discount and vodka redbull doubles run me about $3 but for the rest of the town it will run about $6. A typical round of 4 drinks will run $20-25 so I went with the $3-5 range but it really varies more then that. Lucky none of the bars have a cover or I’d be pissed about the expensive drinks.
Round these parts, someone asking a question like that picks up the tab. So. . .are you paying?
