Scavenger Hunt: The Cheapest Student Pint in Glasgow

Get out your light hoodies and denim jackets, it’s beer garden season! There are plenty spots for a low-priced pint in Glasgow (if you know where to look), but we sifted through the cheapest – I said ‘cheapest’, not ‘best’ – bars and pubs in the city for a pint of Tennent’s that costs as few pennies as possible.

If you know of a cheaper pint in the city, get in touch and we can add it to our list!

Third Place – Hengler’s Circus: £4

Regardless of your stance on Wetherspoons, it can’t be denied that they pour a cheap pint. Sauchiehall Street’s Spoons boasts a cheaper pint than its town centre counterparts. You’ll pay £4.70 for a Tennent’s in the Counting house and £4.56 (oddly specific) at Crystal Palace.

Second Place – The Three Judges, Partick: £2.50

It just might be worth that treacherous subway journey into University of Glasgow territory for this price. Valid with a student card from Monday to Thursday. You’ll probably be standing at the bar with your drink (there are very few seats that aren’t taken up by Three Judges regulars from midday) but for that price, it’s worth it!

First Place – Strath Union: £2 (a can)

Okay! Maybe it’s cheating to say our own union has the cheapest Tennent’s, but there’s absolutely nowhere you could drink a pint for cheaper than 2 quid in Glasgow. It might be a tinnie, but pour it in a glass, have a couple, and trust you won’t be able to tell the difference.
