'I ordered a pint in Benidorm and thought the price was a joke'
Benidorm has long been known as the go-to spot for a budget-friendly getaway, and one holidaymaker's recent discovery proves exactly why. The Spanish resort is a haven for sunseekers, partygoers and anyone keen to sip cocktails in the sun while watching stag parties make fools of themselves. But for first-time visitors, one question often pops up - how much does a pint cost compared to back home in Ireland? That mystery was quickly solved by Graham White, a 48-year-old Brit currently soaking up the rays in the popular hotspot. Posting to his Benidorm Grumet TikTok channel, Graham revealed he was floored when he found a bar selling pints for just €1, less than the price of a cup of tea - an unbelievably thrifty find, especially compared to Irish prices. In a video that's racked up thousands of views, Graham asked the barmaid: "How much is it for a pint of Estrella?" She responded: "One euro, one euro for a pint", to which he couldn't help but laugh in disbelief. Curious, he then asked about tea - and was told it cost €2, double the price of the pint. This price revelation staggered some of Graham's 59,000 TikTok followers, with a few sceptics even doubting his claim. He said: "People called me a liar and said there was no place in Benidorm where you can get a one-euro pint. So I went in and got one." Graham proudly dubbed it the "cheapest bar in Benidorm" and pointed out the irony that it was "double for a cup of tea". Back in Ireland, drinkers aren't so lucky. According to the most recent data from Ireland's Central Statistics Offices, in April 2025, the national average price of a pint of stout in licensed premises was €6.06, up 42 cents in the year, while a pint of lager was €6.48, up 41 cents compared with April 2024. In other words, Irish holidaymakers can enjoy six rounds in Benidorm for the price of one back home. The TikTok comments rolled in with viewers praising the deal. One person said: "Why would you bother with anything else?", while another comment indicated that Benidorm was "cheap as chips" in comparison to alternative holiday hotspots. Other people also praised the bar Graham went to, with comments such as "Love the price, pity I don't drink," "Went here yesterday, the food is ace as well," "Bargain of the day," and "May as well get the pints in!"
