Where Can I Get a Draught Beer in a Pub For Under 5 Euro?

I always have trouble finding a place where I can rest my weary bones for an hour or so to sip a nice ale/porter/lager with only reaching into my pocket for pieces of coin.





Any advice?

If you can adjust your timing it might pay you to see when the Happy Hours are. You can usually tell when a bar has its Happy Hour because that will be the the busiest one on any street. Sometimes, if you follow the crowd, you will find which one has a later Happy Hour.

Most of the local beers (Stella, Hoegarten, Grimbergen) shouldn%26#39;t run you more than 5 or 6 euro. Now a good beer, that is where Happy hour comes in handy. Bombardier by the Pantheon charges 5-6 euro for the good stuff during HH. Well worth it. What a lovely import, the Happy hour.

I have a note in my journal for two beers at La Taverne at 155 Blvd St Germain costing 10.2 euros total.

Stella, Hoegaarden and Grimbergen are not really local beers, they%26#39;re all from Belgium. If you ask for %26quot;un demi%26quot; (or %26quot;une pression%26quot;, %26quot;une bière pression%26quot;), you%26#39;ll get the draught beer - usually Kronenbourg or something like that. That%26#39;s almost always cheaper than beer in bottles.

I love Au Metro in the 14th at 66 rue Raymond Losserand. Beer prices are very reasonable as is the delicious food. It is a sports bar and they also have tables out on the street. This place has everything include nice waiters. My favorite drink there is beer mixed with proseco. So yummy!




|||



I am amazed that prices in Paris for beer appear to be so high - is this because people are buying bottled beer, or is it more location??





At my local I pay 2€10 for a pression. I don%26#39;t remember prices being that much higher when I was last in Paris. It this because I stayin a more residential area, where the cafe/bar/restaurant wouldn%26#39;t get away with charging that much?




|||



I typically don%26#39;t enjoy beers I can read thru (aka Coors Lights of Europe) unless they are really cheap, thus Happy hour. I am willing to spend the euro for a pint of the dark stuff.



For less than 3 euro, not sure I have ever seen that, except for a demi at happy hour, but the 50cl are usually the same price. Where was this?




|||



I stay out in the 19th. There are a couple of decent cafe/bars on the north edge of the parc des buttes chaumont, and a couple of smaller places down avenue lamiere towards Jean Jaures.





The 2€10 pression is down in the loire valley - where my local is

In Love With Paris - do you mind if I ask if the Beer and Prosecco is the red coloured drink I see people with in the glass the size of a beer glass?

Student pubs are cheap
