Went for a night out in my husband's hometown on Saturday. (lemmy.world)

First pub, two drinks, £10.70. Ouch, we thought. But that must just be what it costs round there nowadays.

Second pub, literally round the corner. Same two drinks came to £6 something.

I'm trying to be normal today and do my actual job instead of falling into a hyperfixated rabbithole of how pubs work and how they can possibly be so different despite being in essentially the same location and about the same size. But I can't get it out of my mind!

Both of them had dogs in, so it can't be that. The more expensive one was much more brightly lit, so maybe pub-grade lightbulbs are very expensive? 🤔

Any subject-matter experts hanging about who can put me out of my misery?

Different priced drinks, especially that much disparity, will give you pretty different clientele as well. More expensive place might just want to avoid the crowded, rowdy nights you're more likely to have at the cheaper pubs.
