When it comes to going out for a pint these days, you'll often be lucky to get change from a fiver, with most bars now being forced to raise their prices thanks to rising costs.

But one city centre pub is bucking the trend by keeping prices as low as they can, with some rivalling what you would have paid back in the 90s.

Instantly recognisable to anyone who has travelled by train from Glasgow Central, the Toby Jug is found on Hope Street just opposite the station entrance.

Outside you'll find a small selection of their pints of beer and cider and bottles of beer advertised for less than £2.

And the team say they keep their prices low in the hope that people will choose to come to the pub and socialise instead of just drinking at home and that it's about building a relationship with customers.

But they did add that they also have a selection of beers on draught that are priced at more regular prices for those happy to pay them.

General manager at Toby Jug, Robert Bowie, told the Sun: "We want to be the city centre local. We want people to come to the Toby Jug and have a good time.

“You can have a good night with a fiver. Some people just buy four bottles, watch the game and that’s them.

“We do this seven days a week and we want to be your local pub. A tenner at the Toby Jug goes a long way."

The bar, which also serves food and cocktails, has won fans over on Trip Advisor with some describing it as "fun and affordable".
