How much does a pint cost in Manchester? Average price revealed and how it compares to London and Liverpool

The price of a pint is an aspect of a town or city many people look out for before visiting. New research from OLBG has lined up this important piece of data alongside cities across the UK and Europe. 

The research shows that Manchester is one of the more expensive cities in the UK for a pint of beer. The city comes out with an average price of £4.97, level with Bristol and Edinburgh. Only London has an average pint price that is higher than Manchester. The English capital will, on average, set you back nearly £6 for a pint. 

The cheapest cities on average for a pint according to the date are Birmingham and Nottingham. These have a joint price of £3.97, with Glasgow third cheapest at £4.34. 

Compared with some European cities, Manchester looks very expensive. The cheapest city on the continent was found to be Valencia in Spain, with the average cost of a domestic beer costing under £2. Some UK cities, including Manchester, are still very cheap compared to several European cities, however. Oslo, the Norwegian capital, has an average beer price of an eye-watering £7.41. 

Another interesting point to come from the research is that Manchester comes top of a list of cities with the most bars and nightclubs. With 55 per 100,000 people, Manchester’s diverse drinking scene certainly has a little bit of something for everyone, from lively nightclubs to quiet pubs.
