My mate can get cheap flights & we've decided to go to Eindhoven for the night when we play, not that we can get tickets, just to enjoy the atmosphere. I can't find the cost of a pint anywhere though, does anyone know how much I'd need to take to have a decent night out?

Mate I dont think the prices between the UK and Holland will vary that much to worry about, I mean I might ask the question about a car or a house ............. But a pint of beer FFS :laugh:

I thought the question was "how much beer in Eindhoven" - with thousands of LFC fans out for the night though, that might be a relevant question. :buttrock

Actually BM, the cost of a night out can vary quite a lot between different countries, even if they are both in Europe. I'm on a tight budget, as it stands I only have about £50 left for beers after flights & accomodation. Now in some parts of Europe that would probably be enough to go out for a whole week, in others you'd bearly get a round for that.

Simple question to anyone who knows, will £50 be enough for one night, or am I gonna need to borrow a bit?

Well that then depends on how much you intend to drink, and what you intend to drink and where you intend to drink it.
50 pounds wouldnt be enough for me, but it might be enough for you.

Just look up the exchange rate, then look for prices of beer in Holland, shimple.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Except I can't seem to find the price of a pint over there anywhere. Every time I search for dutch beer prices, it gives me sites selling dutch beer in the UK, not over there.

If anyone does know the prices, or a site where I can find them, I'd be very grateful :help

Okay I'll try and look for you, but I'm sh.it on computers and I'm sure the last time I went they still had the guilder

I live in A'dam and can tell you that a pint is around 4 Euros. Varies on the city and pub etc..but that should give you an idea.

Okay I hope this helps a little.

Prices:
these are the approximate number of euros of different beers will cost you:
pils - €1.60-1.80
De Koninck/Palm - €2.50-3.00
witbier - €2.50-3.00
Belgian special beers - €2.75-3.50 (Duvel, Westmalle)
Rochefort 10 - €4.50
Westvleteren - €5.50 > (if you can find it)
A series of price rises over the last 18 months (both before and after the introduction of the euro) have made the cost of a beer vary much more between individual pubs than it once did.

Specialist Amsterdam beer bars used to be towards the top end of the price scale. Recent uneven price rises in the pub trade have left them somewhere around the middle. Some belong to the very small number of city centre bars which have euro prices roughly equivalent to the old guilder ones. I have given up trying to understand the pricing structure in Amsterdam pubs. A glass of crappy Heineken pils, containing 15cl of beer and 10cl of foam, can cost almost as much in one pub as a 33cl bottle of a genuine trappist does in another.

According to Het Parool, Amsterdam's evening paper, beer in (in pubs) has increased in price 21.3% in the last three years. The jump in prices is being blamed for a predicted 10-15% drop in turnover in Amsterdam's pubs. I can't help feeling that it serves them right for being too greedy. Not every landlord has been so rapacious. There are pubs whose prices remain a fair conversion of the old guilder amount. In common with most other mortals, I don't have an elastic wallet. Why should I choose to drink in a pub where beer costs 25%, 35% or 40% more? (An example from the pubs in this guide: the price of Duvel in De Reiger - €3.80; and in Tapvreugd €2.30)

In general, bars in Amsterdam's two main entertainment districts - the Leidseplein and Rembrandtsplein - have the highest prices. That's one of several reasons (late-night violence is another) that I would recommend avoiding these two areas

BTW How many Euros to the pound EC ?

1 Euro was worth 63p last time I checked, I'll have to get an up to date price.

Cheers for that BM, I'm terrible at searching for stuff

No probs mate I hope it helps.

They didnt have Heinekan on there surprisingly, but it doesnt matter its a pretty naff beer, although it does taste slightly better over there than it does from our cans and taps.
