The average price of a pint is on the rise, due to pubs being forced to hike their prices up as a result of inflation and the war in Ukraine.
Beer prices have increased by more than 70% since the 2008 financial crash and pub-goers are now having to fork out more than £7 in some venues.
To help keep your costs down, we’ve compiled a list of bars and pubs offering cheap drinks in the city.
These are six of the cheapest bars and pubs you can visit for a refreshing pint in and around Birmingham.

6. Sacks of potatoes
The Sacks of Potatoes is a traditional pub set in the heart of the Aston University campus. They have a wide cask ale range with six real ales and three ciders available on the hand pulls, as well as two craft ales, all for excellent prices. One reviewer wrote: “They have excellent prices for all beer, ale, gin, brandy cocktails; the list is endless. It’s cheap for all drinks and they have amazing games every night of the week. It’s not about the price of beer, it’s the amazing atmosphere and friendly staff, and it’s spotlessly clean.” | Google Maps
