Coming in just slightly more expensive was nearby Bury, where a pint will set you back just £2.75 on average.
Pints in St Helens, Merseyside, and Harlow, Essex, cost £3 on average.
The average cost of a pint in Southport or in Blackpool is slightly more at £3.25.
You would pay roughly £3.40 in Salford, or £3.50 in Blackburn.
Drinkers in other cities pay almost twice as much.
If you're in London, Belfast, Watford, Oxford, Cambridge, Hemel Hempstead, Guildford and Basildon, you'll be paying a huge £6.
You might be surprised to find, though, that London doesn't have the most expensive pints.
In Brighton and Hove, the average price is £6.05 - and in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, it's a whopping £6.10.
That's £3.60 more than the cheapest average pint in Burnley.
Bionic also analysed the most popular pint of choice in the UK - and found BrewDog came out on top.
All the beers that have lowered in strength
The analysis looked Google searches, social media trends data, and the popularity and fame of different alcohol brands.
Guinness - which has got everyone talking with its "splitting the g" game - was the second most popular.
Meanwhile, Black Sheep was the nation's favourite craft beer and Kopparberg was the UK's favourite cider.
Why pubs are pushing up prices
The latest figures come after the British Beer and Pub Association warned the average cost of a pint across the UK will rise from around £4.80 to £5.01.
It said pubs are expecting to raise their average prices by 21p.
Figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) found the cost of a pint of draught lager in pubs jumped almost 3% in the year to January 2025.
Pubs say they have been forced to push up prices because of a series of cost increases announced in last October's Budget.
They say the only way they can stay open is to pass the raised costs on to customers.
Simon Dodd, chief executive of Young's, said the chain planned to increase its prices by between 2.5% and 3%.
Wetherspoons also recently hiked the price of some of its drinks and meal deals by up to 30p.
Meanwhile Heineken increased the price of its draught beer by an average of 2.97% for pubs in February.
More than 400 pubs across England and Wales were demolished or converted for other uses last year, figures from Altus Group show.
As a result, the number of pubs across the two countries fell below 39,000 for the first time.

Judge rejects class action for Google privacy lawsuit
June 10 (Reuters) - People who accused Google of illegally collecting their personal information, after they chose not to synchronize their Google Chrome browsers with their Google accounts, cannot sue the Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab unit as a group in a class action, a U.S. judge ruled. In a decision on Monday, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California agreed with Google that it was appropriate to address case-by-case whether millions of Chrome users understood and agreed to its data collection policies. "Inquiries relating to Google's implied consent defense will overwhelm the damages claims for all causes of action," Rogers wrote. She dismissed the proposed damages class action with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again. The judge also said Chrome users cannot seek policy changes as a group. David Straite, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, declined to comment on Tuesday. Sandi Knight, vice president of litigation at Google, in a statement said the company appreciated the decision, and that Chrome Sync has "clear privacy controls." Class actions let plaintiffs seek potentially greater recoveries at lower cost than they could in individual lawsuits. The decision followed a ruling last August by the federal appeals court in San Francisco, which said Rogers should consider whether reasonable Chrome users consented to letting Google collect their data when they browsed online. Chrome users pointed to Chrome's privacy notice, which said they "don't need to provide any personal information to use Chrome" and Google would not collect such information unless they turned on the "sync" function. Rogers had dismissed the case in December 2022. She said she oversees two other privacy cases against Mountain View, California-based Google, but the claims in those cases differed "significantly." The appeals court ruling followed Google's 2023 agreement to destroy billions of records to settle a lawsuit claiming it tracked people who thought they were browsing privately, including in Chrome's "Incognito" mode. The case is Calhoun et al v Google LLC, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 22-16993.
