Wow! $10 for a 12 oz. beer. Yikes. I pay £3.50 ($4.20) for an Imperial pint (20 oz.) of English ale and I thought that was expensive. And that’s in a pub. What’s par for a pint in an American bar these days?
At my local bar, literally crawling distance from my house, during televised sporting events I get a 20oz Domestic Draft for $2. Regular Draft price is between $3-6, depending on the brand.
Match that with a coney dog w/chili for $2.50 and I’m there semi regularly.

Depends upon where you’re drinking. At our Jersey Shore local Irish themed pub the Imperial pint of Guinness or Smithwicks is $8 and US pints of domestic brews are $5 or $6. Go to Manhattan and happy hour pints are ten bucks.
