    I can't think what the justification is for the prices in Edinburgh. The centre of Edinburgh genuinely is more expensive for a pint than London, where you'd imagine rents are higher and staff costs are also higher. Glasgow you'll probably pay about £4.50 ish for a Tennents.

    A lot of these venues in central Edinburgh don't even have Sky Sports/TNT so it's not as if that's a cost they are having to cover. In some cases it does seem like blatant profiteering.

    I'm pretty sure the Scotsman Lounge is about 7 quid for a Strongbow. I was charged £7 for a bottle, a 330ml bottle, of Heineken recently in a bar in the town! If you buying that as a round of 4, then that's obviously nearly £30 for 4 330ml bottles of beer.

    I'm not a massive fan of Wetherspoons as they're not really my idea of what a pub should be, but when you see the prices they charge you can see why they're popular.
