Everyone wants to know where the cheapest pint is. We track real drinks prices at over 80 venues across Chester, so we can actually answer that question with data — not guesswork.

Here's what the numbers say right now.

How we track prices

Every venue on Out In Chester has live price data. We record what you'll actually pay at the bar — not RRP, not "from" prices. When prices change, we update them.

Where to look for the best value

The cheapest pints in Chester tend to be at the larger chain pubs and Wetherspoons-style venues. But "cheapest" isn't always "best value" — a well-kept local ale at a proper pub is worth paying an extra quid for.

A few tips for drinking well on a budget:

• Check the deals page before you go out. Happy hours and mid-week offers can knock a couple of quid off your round.
• Try cask ale. It's almost always cheaper than craft lager, and Chester has some great cask pubs.
• Go mid-week. Some venues run weekday specials that you won't see on a Saturday.
• Use the price comparison tool to sort venues by what they charge for a standard pint.

Beyond the price tag

Price matters, but so does atmosphere, quality, and what else a venue offers. A pub with a beer garden on a sunny day or live music on a Friday is worth more than the cheapest pint in a half-empty bar.
