Forget the players and the Claret Jug, it’s the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue. How much is a pint at the Open?
Unfortunately, the days of paying for a reasonably priced pint where major sporting events are concerned are gone. Long gone. It is the nature of the beast.
While you follow the world’s best around the dunes of Royal Portrush, you’ll want the odd pitstop along the way to make sure you’re fed and watered and not left wanting for refreshment and gasping for a beverage.
‘The Open Arms’ answers that question. If you fancy a pint, it will set you back £7.75. At The Open Arms, that will be a Singha lager, an Angry Orchard Hard cider, or a Guinness. A gluten-free Peroni, of which there is 330ml will cost you £6.50.
A 187ml glass of wine, whether it be Nice Sauvignon Blanc, Pale Rose or Malbec, will cost £8, while a 200ml glass of sparkling wine is £8.50. A 750ml measure of Champagne Lombard Extra Dry Brut NV is £75, and the same measure of Prosecco Extra Dry is £35.

In terms of other drinks, and what The Open is calling ‘No & Low’, you can part with £5 for a Heineken bottle without alcohol in it. It will be £6 for the same type of Guinness, and a Thomson & Scott ‘Noughty’ is £7.50.
For those who are not drinking or would prefer something soft, the answer could be a sip of Coca-Cola or a Diet Coke, which comes to £2.50.
And now, for the spirits. A Ben Lomond Scottish Gin is £6, as is a Ben Lomond The Open beverage. This is the same price as a Ben Lomond Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit Gin, the Blackberry and Gooseberry flavour, and the Raspberry and Elderflower edition.

A gin with Mediterranean tonic is £8, and a special edition Portrush Whisky is £7. A single malt whiskey is at the same mark, and a Sapling Vodka is £5.50.
