The data has crowned Hull as the cheapest UK city for a pint, charging an average of just £3.68.

Second place was given to Dundee, where pubgoers pay roughly £3.96 a pint.

Other areas serving up bargain booze include Bradford, Newport and Wrexham – all costing £4 on average.

The map also reveals that the cheapest pints tend to be in the north of England and Wales, while prices appear to be on the rise in the south of England.

The average cost of a pint in the UK is £5.50, reports Finder.

Its data also revealed that the average price in London is almost double the rate in Hull and Dundee.

Finder’s research is based on data from cost-of-living sites Expatistan and Numbeo as of February 2025.

The majority of the values were averaged from the two sites.

Countries and cities without enough reliable data were excluded from the data.

In the country’s capital, pubgoers can expect to fork out an average of £6.83 a pint, crowning it the most expensive city in the UK.

This eye-watering sum is £3.15 more that the city with the cheapest pint.

Outside of London, the UK cities with the most expensive pints include Bath and Winchester – each charging an average of £6.

The rate in Brighton is slightly higher with the average being £6.03.

Meanwhile, Edinburgh charges roughly £5.90 a pint.

Finder’s research was also extended beyond the UK.

On a global scale, the cheapest beer can be found in Antananarivoseru, Madagascar for just £0.68.

While the most expensive pint can be found in Doha, Qatar for a staggering £9.95.

Alongside Qatar, UAE, Oman and Iceland ranked among the most expensive countries to buy a beer.

While the UK soared into the 11th spot just behind Finland.

Bringing up the rear, Ethiopia, Togo and Laos all have average costs of less than £1.

Prices of pints rising 

This comes after The Sun reported earlier this year on the rising cost of pint prices.

In April, the British Beer and Pub Association warned the average cost across the UK will rise from around £4.80 to £5.01.

It said pubs are expecting to raise their average prices by 21p.

Pubs say they have been forced to push up prices because of a series of cost increases announced in last October’s Budget.

They say the only way they can stay open is to pass the raised costs on to customers.

Simon Dodd, chief executive of Young’s, said the chain planned to increase its prices by between 2.5% and 3%.

Meanwhile, Wetherspoons also hiked the price on some of its drinks and meal deals by up to 30p.

Heineken also increased the price of its draught beer by an average of 2.97% for pubs in February this year.

More than 400 pubs across England and Wales were demolished or converted for other uses last year, figures from Altus Group show.

As a result, the number of pubs across the two countries fell below 39,000 for the first time.

It doesn’t seem like these steep prices will drop any time soon either, after The Sun reported that a pint of lager could hit £13 in under five years.

A recent study predicted that inflation and soaring outgoings for pubs will see it double by 2030.

The report puts the current average pint of a standard brand at £5.17 — and £6.10 in London.

It predicts it could reach £8 nationwide by 2030 — and £11 in cities.

But it warns: “Touristy zones and stadiums could even see £12 to £13 pints becoming the norm.”
