I actually like the atmosphere of Mick O'Malleys in the mall ... no idea how much a pint is though ... I really should find out ...

Gunlessssssss £2.35 in my local down the end of my road.

Bit far from Brissy though?

Got to admit, beering it here in the UK is so cheap when you are used to Oz prices.

John Smiths £1.70, Tuborg £2.00, its just too cheap to stay in, you have to go out to save money, every pint you buy you are saving money?

P.s. Union Jacks is cheap, but i was in there four weeks ago, took me half an hour to get served, then told to leave at 7pm due to a dress code. Told the guy i was not wearing a dress, no sense of humour, had to leave.

What's Guiness (sic)... or did you mean Guinness?
