A Brit abroad was ecstatic after he found a beer that cost him less than a cup of tea would back in the UK.
Benidorm is one of the most popular tourist destinations for bargain-loving Brits thanks to its cheap eats and crazy night life – but Graham and best mate Darren were buzzing when they managed to find a pint for less than two quid.
38-year-old Graham from Middlesbrough shares snapshots from his travels with his 335,000 TikTok followers, and they were thrilled for him when he shared his more-than-affordable beer.
It cost him just £1.66 from Uncle Ped’s in Benidorm, and he was thrilled.
Brits who aren’t lucky enough to be in Benidorm right now were blown away by the discovery, and the video racked up over 146,000 views on his @benidorm_grumet page.
Graham explained: “The place is known by many to be the cheapest in Benidorm, along with Uncle Ron’s. You also see a lot of [Spanish] locals in this bar, as the prices are so cheap.
“I’ve never seen Benidorm so busy for February; even the flight prices are higher. We usually get a return flight for £30 or £40, but it was far more this year.
“If you go to Benidorm and want to party every night, it’s expensive, but if you go on a budget, you can get a breakfast for £2.90.” And a beer for even less!
So, it seems as though if you want to go to Benidorm, you may have missed the glory days when flights were really cheap – but you can still find some bargains once you’re there.
According to the bar’s chalkboard, Uncle Ped’s also has ‘happy hour’, during which two spirits with a mixer can cost just over £5.
Although the bar offers a pint of Amstel for a dirt-cheap price, this isn’t the cheapest lager that Graham has enjoyed in Benidorm.
Last June, he and 48-year-old Darren found a pint of Estrella being sold for just 86p – comparing it to “like back in the early 90s prices”.
Some said that Uncle Ped’s was a “great bar” in the TikTok comments, saying they’d visited “last October”.
“Great bar and yes, probably one of best, even better when the weather is banging,” someone else added.
Another praised the food there too, saying it was “all fresh and tasty”.
