The bar in town has been closed for a couple years. It was purchased and re-opened as a coffee shop in the mornings and a bar in the evening. They are friends of my bride so we stopped in last night. $3.50 for a beer and $7 for a margarita. Guess I hadn't been to a bar for awhile. I drink at home and a beer costs from 73 cents to 93 cents depending on where it comes from.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Red Sox game ...Fenway Park .. 20 ounce Beer = 18.00
Beer and a hot dog is 30.00

Couldn’t tell you. Last time I went I just paid the lady when she brought the tab. Not like I was going to say no thanks your beer is expensive. Everyone knows it’s cheaper to drink at home.
But, like Nessy says. Beer at a sports game is insane. Gotta pre-game that one in the parking lot out of principle.
Next time I’m out I’ll check. Same with gas at the gas station. What am I going to do? Not buy it! Nah. Cost of doing business. Maybe I should look at the price of stuff.
Those prices do sound cheap though. $3.5 for a beer and $7 for a margarita. Seems reasonable to me.
Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!
Gordon Ramsey, maybe…

I'll try to avoid baseball games. I've made it 69 yrs so far. Went to a volleyball game last night and a bottle of A&W root beer was 3!

3 bucks in town is the norm
used to have a 2 dollar bar but it sold
as you get up Madison or MKE way 6 bucks and up
makes it real hard to order a beer out , when you can get a 30 rack for 19 at the Kwik Trip

anyone else tried Pabst Light? I like it , a little change up from the Miller lite I have been drinking.
3.5 carbs vs the 3.2 of Miller light but a few bucks less and it's good
I know light beer , but it beets no beer
and you get 5 light/lite beers to the slice of bread
15-21 carbs per slice of bread

I am not a calorie counter, but I like cold suds in bulk. calories are the same 96 and Miller lite is definitely my daily I was not a lite beer drinker , but at 41 type 2 diabetic so now if I want beer I either have to have very little or make it lite. I am able to control it without injecting insulin and I would like to keep it that way for as long as I can.

15-21 carbs per slice of bread Miller now makes an Extra Lite, Now I do not consider lite beers to be real beers, But if you are looking for a low carb adult thirst quencher, this is it.
Just the right amount of whelm.

Smoking bans closed a lot of bars I believe. Or at least seemed to hear about a lot of closings at about the same time. Then covid finished a lot more off.

About $3.00-$4.00 a can at the bar here depending on brand, but like some have said I haven't been in a bar for a long time. When I came home from service the service (61) most beer was .25 and higher brands .30, times have changed. If I need beer now I go to Walmart Keystone Light $14.95 for a 30 pack that lasts me a long time. Not like the old days! A case of Kestone Light would last me a long time too...cause I'd never drink that swill  lol. Same with any of the “sours”. Last a good long time, because I’m not drinking them. What am I 16? lol

We had a place that when they made the smoking ban, they became a private club. Since they weren’t included in the ban, only public establishments. Had to pay a $1 membership fee, got a membership card and everything was good for one year. Had to show your card to get in. Lol

LOL Haven't been in a bar in over 30 years. So have no idea. I do know they get it at half what you pay in a store though, and charge as much as they can. Sports events are a shame.
We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

I don't do bars that much at all , just drinks with food.
There was this good Chinese buffet place real close to my house. I went there a lot. They closed just as the pandemic started. In business over 20 years. Just before they closed you could get beer for $1 with a meal purchase. Budweiser , Sam Adams , Heineken , Sapporo and couple more types , just $1 a bottle. Almost cheaper than a liquor store. Plus they had the typical Chinese themed cocktails like zombie , mai tai , scorpion bowls in the little budda glasses or a coconut , with the little umbrella for just $5 each.
It was cheap even back then. Now ? Forget it. I miss that place , good food , well run , clean.
