I think the beer prices are still very reasonable compared to other destinations , the only problem I've found for this year is the prices to get to Benidorm have doubled and in some cases even more than doubled , which may stop people coming
Good video Lucy. After decades of metric measurements why do some people think they are going to get a pint, some even stand shouting at the poor bar staff demanding an extra 68ml of beer, no words lol 😂😂🍻🍻
Roll on March Lucy. . . . . Couldn’t care less about the prices. It’s still cheaper than back home so that’ll do for me. As long as the weather ain’t like March 2022 I’ll be a very happy man.
Thanks, Lucy👌, for the comparison on the prices last year and this year . There is hardly any difference, no complaints. I am looking forward to another visit to lovely Benidorm
Wow Lucy you worked hard doing this video..well done its very much appreciated.Great to meet you at the Triangle Bar over Christmas you are as lovely in person. Were back July/August unless we can fit a cheeky week in 😅 keep up the good work xx
I’m here in Beni now, we’ve been going Riviera hotel bar as they have some decent deals on buckets of 5 bottles, also they do an excellent hot coffee +bikkie with choice of Tia Maria, Baileys or Brandy for €2.10, great value for money, and if you time it right you might get a seat in the sun trapped terrace
@@cowboykenny21 well it’s been anywhere between 15-20c this last week, if your in the sun its warm, but if the winds blowing or your in the shade it feels cold, so if your coming over bring a warm coat with you.
You can always find a good bar with low prices...unfortunately the price of the actual holiday/hotels/flights has gone up!..hope Benidorm doesn't price itself out of market!!🤞🤞
Hiya me beauty. Prices are up everywhere so can't complain really. Just shop around and you can still get a good bargain. Last 3 holidays for me have been lanzarote. Going again in February. And it's really cheap not running down benidorm but you can still get a 1 eruo pint. 1.50 pint. Dearest is 2.80. Cocktails 5 eruo each. And holidays are cheap for one week in February under 500 including flights luggage transfers insurance. At porta del carmen....look after you're self ❤ x
Uncle Peds still represents good value. We would pop there for a couple of pints on the way out after breakfast then go to more other bars in the evening.
🖐Hiya Lucy, hope you're keeping good and recovered from the festive season? Well a very good and comprehensive comparison to last year. Well done to those venues who haven't changed their prices. For those that have, I feel it's very reasonable and plenty of places to choose from also, so everyone is still a winner. Take care Lucy, all the best xxx
Great stuff as usual! Makes me want to be back there right this minute... ++sad face++ Oh, BTW, I've found your "Hollywood doppelganger" - just watched a fillum called "Mercy Falls" (Quick review: very watchable and enjoyable if you can swallow the worst ever decision made by a group of people lost in the woods, ever, at around 1/3 of the way in. From then on, it's just more insane decisions all the way to the finish line!) and the lead actor, Lauren Lyle, could play you in the movie version of "Benidorm Stuff"! She looks less like you when she's glammed up, and more like you in the actual fillum. Edit: that sounded ruder towards you than it was in my head! Soz! Hugs Rxx
Thank you for the beautiful update about the prices, i must say.. mwah, its not to crazy. At least.. the sun is for free 🙂 For me "Amstel" is the max. Last year we paid (Bavaria) €7.50 for 0.5 ltr at the Eindhoven airport OMG Greetings from Holland
We just came back last weekend, and didn't see much change in prices. I'd imagine the bars on the beachfront put the prices up slightly when they have entertainment on at lunchtime. Good to see Taverna de Calamari featured - we had a few visits there over Christmas/New Year 🙂
Hi Lucy a belated happy new year. Your videos really keep us updated me and the wife arriving in Benidorm on 25th February staying for 5 days love the place been visiting Benidorm since 1980 and alto the basic layout is the same a lot of bars have disappeared over the years. One bar I have great memories is the famous Scotsman bar which is now a kebab eatery next door to scruffy murphys used to come down the yellow brick road from Rio park and always visited the Scotsman bar I think it’s been closed about 20 years now used to be a big guy Charlie and Son Angus from Aberdeen I think that owned it . Time moved on I’m of that age 60+ now lol me and the wife really enjoy your Chanel we visited you couple of years back in winners bar . Keep up the great work and 🙏 thank you Malcolm & Elaine Kerr Beith .North Ayrshire Scotland
Thanks Lucy offers are still good but move away from them and its defiantly more expensive.But its still cheaper than many places and good value in my opinion
Western saloon last week when we were there were doing 5 mahou in a bucket for 9 euros and amstel 1.5 euros a bottle at the rockstar bar it was 1.5 for a pint but it wasnt great back in feb cant wait
Overall not too much more ... However, have noticed in a few places ... Spirit prices the same or similar, measures in the glass has dropped a tad. Especially my tipple of baileys disguised by more ice! 😂. Maybe just the places we were in though. Can't complaint though compared to most places in the world.
The castle bar in Costa adeje last year €1.50 a pint 🍺 This year €1.00 a pint 🥳🥳🥳 6 bars within 10 minutes walk all selling euro pints , I’ll stick with Tenerife.
Uncle Peds have much lower overheads as they own the building outright (no rent) and have a massive cellar area to buy and store ridiculous amounts of stock (the more you buy the cheaper it is) That's why they can sell stuff so cheap, not many bars have the same advantages.
@@LucyYoungTBE Yes but it is designed to lure the British into thinking they are getting a good deal, kind of scamming your own, the other foreigners wouldn't notice.
Yeah Spoons is the cheapest place in the Uk. So compare it to Uncle Peds prices and Uncle Peds is cheaper. Compare the other bars to regular UK bars and i think you'll see Benidorm bars are still cheaper.
It's OK comparing the prices from last year but what about the bars that advertise a pint but only serve you 400ml and not the full 568ml that is a pint. I do know of one bar that will server me in a pint glass but does adjust the price to reflect this which suites me, because I do like a pint to drink.
I think the whole 568ml thing is a proper pint bottle tho , like a large smithwicks , harp or an old school bottle of Guinness. They were 568ml . A pint in general is a half litre therefore 500ml . But I’m on your side !!
@@postintheocean If you are in the UK a pint is 568 ml and in a pub you have to use a glass with a One pint mark on it or you will get done by weights and measures. I used to work in a pub and run a bar.
send me an email thebenidormenthusiast@gmail.com though i moved here over 20 years ago, packed my bags and off i went. The moving process has changed a lot since then
Hi Lucy i fully except the comparisons you've done are valid and correct but there is a Trick in every Trade and what these places are showing is correct but like any Business they will have ways that are not shown or talked about in Public of increasing revenue.But Lucy I'm sure if you include the Total cost of the Holiday Taxis .At the Airport . Hotels .Meals. Everything until you arrive back at your House it will have gone up more in percentage terms than many People's incomes that's where it Hurts but i will end by Saying Benidorm is still better value than most resorts but it is starting to gone in the wrong Direction if you include every thing not just Alcohol.

Lucy ,what an incredible and informative video for all of the tourists coming to Benidorm !!
Thank you for all the info, cant wait to visit Benidorm again xx
Me and my husband are going to Benidorm in September we hope to see you then Lucy keep up the good video's your doing great xx
Just out of interest, how does the general cost of living - for a long-term holidaymaker, say - compare to the UK?
Lovely videos Lucy great information joyx
I just hope the workers in the service industry have also seen their wages and conditions gone up and improved?
Thanks, Lucy👌, for the comparison on the prices last year and this year . There is hardly any difference, no complaints.
I am looking forward to another visit to lovely Benidorm
Wow Lucy you worked hard doing this video..well done its very much appreciated.Great to meet you at the Triangle Bar over Christmas you are as lovely in person. Were back July/August unless we can fit a cheeky week in 😅 keep up the good work xx
Thanks Lucy for keeping us up-to-date great video 👍 can't wait to be back in Benidorm in August 😁❤️

That sounds really good on those coffees, I'm going to have try them
What temperature is it over there just now ?
@@cowboykenny21 well it’s been anywhere between 15-20c this last week, if your in the sun its warm, but if the winds blowing or your in the shade it feels cold, so if your coming over bring a warm coat with you.
I stayed there for Christmas it was a lovely hotel
Well the prices are not to bad and thank you lucy for the up date hope to be over sometime this year keep safe and keep smiling
Its all still cheap compared to us here in the UK, can't argue with the increases 😊 see you march
great reporting!
I still think most of the bars are still cheap, certainly a lot cheaper than here in the UK. Great video Lucy, thank you.
You can always find a good bar with low prices...unfortunately the price of the actual holiday/hotels/flights has gone up!..hope Benidorm doesn't price itself out of market!!🤞🤞
Lucy good editing on this video 😊
Bottle of Amstel 99 cents, or 5 for 7.50€? That's some cracking maths from Uncle Peds 😂😂😂😂😂 Hope you wrapped up warm in cold Benidorm.

Hi Lucy, could you recommend any good Italian restaurants in Benidorm.
Still cheap as chips...see you in June Lucy 🎉
The hotels prices have really shot up, some by as much as 300 to £400, taking that Into account, It's not that cheap any more.
Try with expedia
expedia.com/affiliates/hotel-search-benidorm.FsP5EdP
Thanks for the update it is suppicing how it's gorn up in price.
Prices close to what I pay in the UK. I'll save the air fare.
Is there anywhere that sells Woodpecker or bottles of Bulmers ? For people who have allergies like coeliac
Woodpecker is really hard to get nowadays, few places do Bulmers i would imagine but its Magners in most
Thanks for getting back to is 👍
I paid 5.60 b4 Christmas in uk ipa bet lager guinness over 6 quid
Plz give good tips also to spanish waiters as they earn so little and rents are getting higher & higher😢😢😢😢
You should holiday in Oz $14-16 pint so 8-10 euros a pint 😂😂😂
Shocking difference in price on the beach front!!
Thanks I'm going in 2weeks thanks for the updated price list is the main strip in the old town or new town. Is thier any gay bars
The castle bar in Costa adeje last year €1.50 a pint 🍺 This year €1.00 a pint 🥳🥳🥳 6 bars within 10 minutes walk all selling euro pints , I’ll stick with Tenerife.
Benidorm isnt really cheap anymore. Better going to the costa del sol benni or torri much nicer resorts . Benidorm definitely had its day sh****e
I drink Spanish beer mahou Spanish gin and Spanish vodka all cheap as chips the only yhat s dont drink Spanish is irn bru
Hi do u remember a comidian jason kay he was alway in kathy benidorn is he still alive
What about John smiths Lucy?
Was mentioned at a few places 👍
Any celebrity owned bars or cafe ?
The writer of the Benidorm series Derren Litten owns a bar here 👍
Yes they have gone up..But some more than others ,some of the beer is as flat as a pancake
I'm back out on April 6th for a week, hoping for the April heatwave 😂
Still so much cheaper than home Pt coors at least £4.50 -£5.50
We're wine drinkers.
Double in price most places
Wots the drink madree
Cheaper in wetherspoons
looking at Uncle Peds it shows how much some of the others are making, always best to shop around :)
Uncle Peds have much lower overheads as they own the building outright (no rent) and have a massive cellar area to buy and store ridiculous amounts of stock (the more you buy the cheaper it is) That's why they can sell stuff so cheap, not many bars have the same advantages.
@@LucyYoungTBE And they also call a pint 400ml.
@@grahamjohnson4702 Quite a lot of places do that. A 'pint' isn't an official measurement here. Its basically a large beer.
@@LucyYoungTBE Yes but it is designed to lure the British into thinking they are getting a good deal, kind of scamming your own, the other foreigners wouldn't notice.
Blimey a pint seems pricey,further down the coast guadamar rojales torrevieja we pay €2 to €2.50 heiniken amstel pints! 🎉
Robbery some of them prices
Guinness up 1€ a pint at the bulldog 🤷♂️🤷♂️😮😮😮😮
guinness is my favourite. Still cheaper than UK. 1 Euro increase Still a big increase. Agee with you.
Prices have really gone up especially for spirits
in the old town [in the Spanish area] u can still get a tapa and a wine for less than 2euro some brits are greedy
You do realise most 'British' bars are owned by Spanish
Omg.dearer than uk.under3£ pint Guiness £2.96 in spoons.pint doors and pint bitter under £3 each at spoons too.
Yeah Spoons is the cheapest place in the Uk. So compare it to Uncle Peds prices and Uncle Peds is cheaper.
Compare the other bars to regular UK bars and i think you'll see Benidorm bars are still cheaper.
To be honest, if you cannot afford to stay and drink in Benidorm then don't bother going abroad.
It’s the pits.just piss heads.
People will do what they want...mind your business
It's still cheaper than most seaside resorts in the UK
exactly,especialy with the bargain prices for hotels all inclusive!!.Same hotels for spanish r more expensive
Benidorm is where you go if you're broke, on benefits or retired.

People who wear masks in the open air never cease to amaze me along with the fannies who wear them in a car.
How many here going to Benidorm hate Europe but abandon their country for a few cheap beers?
Note: A lot of places change the prices during when there is entertainment is on.
Do they sell coors light anywhere in benidorm old town ?
