This is one thing that bothers me a bit, and I don't mean to single out Volo as a lot of places have a similar policy. Why is it that half a pint isn't half the cost of a pint? I'd love to have multiple halves to try out new things, but it can be hard to justify when the equivalent of a pint is $8 before factoring in taxes and a tip (which would put it at over $10).GregClow wrote: (all for $6 pint / $4 half-pint)
If I recall correctly a half in the UK is more or less half the price of a full pint, with maybe a slight extra cost. Using the above example the extra cost is 33% more per sip for a half. At C'est What if you scaled the size and price of a 330ml glass up to a pint you'd be paying over a buck extra per beer. Both are excellent bars, with fantastic beer, and I wish them continued success, but is this another cost of being a beer drinker in Canada?
I'd be curious to know other people's oppinions, as I'm sure there are people who agree with me, as well as those who would say if the barowner can get away with charging more then all credit to them.
