Shock ! Horror !
The scene is set .It's the Belgian Beer Cafe in the centre of Brisbane. I'm out with the missus,she requests a Stella (330 mil),i opt for a Hoegaarden(500 mil) and the price comes to a whopping $23 
This equated to $7 for the Stella and $16 f@rkers for the Hoegaarden ...which by the way aint even a pint's worth 
The frightening thing was though ,punters were queuing up to pay these prices.Guess i'm in the wrong job then !
Guess who won't be paying another visit for a very, very long time
Can anyone out there beat that ........(unfortunately)

The well dressed blokes on the doors there are not bouncers, they're finance brokers, who will sort you our with some payment terms in preparation for you blowing most of your weeks salary on a round of tiny wee goblets of beer!
The place is full of pretentious tossers as well.

The Belgian Beer Cafe in Perth is just as bad.

I don't even join in the social drinks at work when my colleagues go to the Capt. Stirling on a Friday. I just can't afford 8, 9, 10 dollar pints...
I guess they don't have kids, maybe that's why or maybe everyone is sky high in debt and don't care.

I just don't know how people can afford to go out and drink at places like that, or the Breakwater Tavern in Hillarys, or indeed just about any bar in Perth.

Exactly, no one's forcing us to go to these places. If people are mug enough to pay those prices than more fool them.

Reminds me of a bar in England (Cheltenham so not a major city!) me and the OH walked into Apres and ordered two pints of Peroni, the guy put them on the bar and said that'll be £9 please, OH just turned around and walked out, muttering how disgusting it was that they wanted £4.50 a pint! I sheepishly followed

Re: Shock ! Horror !
I haven't been in since the infamous telephone temper tantrum a couple of years ago. I seem to recall that G's bar tab in there was circa $300 bucks that day.
I stuck to whatever was on tap for most of the day & treated myself to a single Kwak, at $50 bucks just for the deposit on the glass it was difficult to enjoy it without worrying someone was going to knock it over
I still spent over a $200 for the day, F expensive as a watering hole
