500ml basically euopean drink size.uk pint size 568ml,bigger glass,marked as uk pint normally 8-)

Do makes a difference if a guinness drinker,want it uk size not european size,so 280 baht for 50cl say against 250 uk pint clock,not sure bricky,price similar and 245 uk pint size at chris,and all these 3 bizs with proper glass.

So 3 bizs within walking distance want to pay 30 baht for less then go to 305 bar,the best bar and best food in whole of thailand :hugs:

At least all of sports bar know now turn left when departing fpr a pint of guinness,bricky just up the road,get more for 30 baht less than 305 bar 8-)

Shame no need for guinness wars in town as get less but pay more option,not exactly going to get existing customers down sampan to change bars 8-)

Steptoe n son not father n son set up,await draft number 4 to be announced ,another 50cl option 8-)

Random comment on drink sizes, there is a good steak place in Leeds called Flat Iron (think it might be a chain?). Anyway the draught beers are 3/4 pints.

Actually not a bad size for a beer with food. Normally smash one before the food, one during and one after. If my maths correct that's 2 and 1/4 pints 8-)

Yes loads of playing with pint sizes,all a bit bizarre,guinness lovers not like this messing about re 50cl nonsense, if a bar is going to advertise with photos just come clean and say it is 50cl and also say price 8-)

When googled about the belgium beer stella,european so 50cl the norm,,learnt something new,it is offered as uk pint size with bigger stella glasses ie 20 oz,but one important difference is for the uk market,they have changed its taste :shock:
So stella just stay how it should be imo,european beer is 50cl standard and of course the lovely black stuff should be 20 oz or 568ml 8-)

My mate in the UK only used to drink Guiness. I can remember many a rumpus (depending on how many he’d had) about whether the head should be classed as part of the pint. Some places in Bath that employed cheap uni staff could serve 20mm+ of froth when they didn’t know how to pour it

Just can't get the staff these days :shock:

Anyway good luck to the biz,not used to the marketing of give less pay more.
Understand novelty ideas maybe cost more but european pint of guinness :?:

Presume marketing strategy of give less pay more can apply to the food,michelin status,pay for presentation,give less food pay more :?:

Anyway niggles says the potato salad is top notch but await your visit for margherita pizza there if can knock faroh house from number 1 spot 8-)

Does faroh house have potato salad on their menu :?:
