$8.25 for a Heineken draft?! Holy inflation, Bruce Wayne! What’s happened to you? This price is acceptable for your enormous Hoegaarden draft, but for a Heineken — neither rare, nor in a large quantity?

I went for 2 beers and lost 2 pockets full of change. —Normally an Economical Drinker

  2. Drinking beer in a bar is way too expensive,its why I dont go out anymore. I would rather spend my 20 bucks on a case of beer as opposed to what maybe three at a bar?

  3. If you paid $8.25 for some Heiny the server must have dropped her styrofoam titties on your head and given you a brain spasm.

  4. $8.25 for a Heineken …. let alone $8.25 for a pissy draft. That’s insane. I agree with Kirbul…the bars here are charging way too much. And cover charges…..would it kill the bar to at least offer a free drink with each cover charge. Other cities do, why not Halifax?

  5. some beer is better in draft form…and there is some beer i might pay 8.25 for and Heineken is definitely not one of them. 8.25$ is waaaaay too much for something drained from a urinal in Holland. If you are gonna drink an import, try something original, not that piss. Ick.

  6. I always cringe when somebody orders a draught beer from me at work. A pint of Coors comes to 6.90, and Heineken is almost 9.00. I’ve taken to telling them the price before I pour it, given how many people have raised a fuss over their bills.
