It's £3 which is actually a pretty small amount when out drinking these days and it's a great set up with plenty of bars and good bar staff so even at its busiest the waits for drinks aren't bad. There's plenty of space and a great atmosphere.I don't usually pay into pubs either but it's a great pre match pub for Villa - I did it as a one off and then just went again and again. Not been in post match as I'm usually straight to The Barton's but I'm pretty sure it's a decent option.
