How much money do you or dp spend on a night out?

[minion246]

Just that really.... dp wants to go out with some of his work mates but he is now saying we haven't got enough money so was in a bit of a sulk. I've asked him how much he wants to take out and he said over £100!!! We don't go out often as I have children. I think over £100 is a lot of money and thought £50 was more reasonable.

Under £30 including taxi home but then I mainly go to the same places and drinks are cheap. Depends where you are - it's around £3 a pint where I live

Night out with group of mum friends £100 plus easy. Usually includes meal or afternoon tea plus few cocktails.
Night out with best pal £30 includes meal and one or two drinks as she likes to be home for 10pm.

Dh normal spend £100 ish on a night out if local and if in London £150-£200 as usually ends up up getting a sodding taxi home. Thats not including a meal or anything

I on the other hand can happily go out and spend 20-60 depends on where/what im doing.

Have a few beers etc before pub?

Dixie.... why do you say that?

I'm now incredibly relieved that I can't manage more than half a bottle of wine on a night out - means I can be extremely extravagant choosing something other than the house wine, split it with someone else and still spend around £30 including taxi home.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

19lottie presumably she says that because the op asked how much one partner (not both together) would spend on an evening in the pub without buying food, and people are throwing out sums up to £500 Those people are either under the impression that "a round" means "for everyone in the pub" or they are talking about a far more elaborate night out than drinks only in a pub... Or they are including taxis each way to and from a distant location, paying £20 a drink and still drinking so much they are ending the night in A&E getting their stomachs pumped...

I'd have thought £50 would be plenty for drinks unless you're going to the Ritz or something.

Think it definitely depends on the type of night out but in a normal pub with friends (as in a jeans and trainers night out on a Friday), I'd expect to spend about thirty quid - on the rough basis that if you're in a round of three, that's fifteen quid a round, and for £30 everyone has six drinks. If you're going out earlier on a Saturday, maybe raise it up to £50 or so. Depends on a lot of factors though, e.g. I can get to the centre of my big-night-out city on the travel pass I already have for work, and an uber home costs pennies. So I can see how £100 might be a safe figure for a pub night out.

Also, the people saying 'he's a father' - that wasn't the impression I got from the OP, which might add context to why he's being sulky (not that that excuses it).

Dixie.... why do you say that?

Maybe you could try reading my previous posts upthread? Or, I don't know, the thread title and OP? It might answer your question.

With taxis, food and drinks in town alone I could spend £70 minimum. Depends how long you are out, Cost of taxis, if you can share with anyone, how swanky the pubs are, whether you get food.

Local wetherspoons I could have a great night on £16 (including the taxi home).

Sorry I wasn't very clear in my post dixie I meant the reference to stealth boasts?

I posted that I spend £100 on a night out and it's definitely not a stealth boast.

I don't think your post was a stealth boast, lottie. I was thinking more of a few of the 'date night with partner' posters that seem to have missed the point of the OP while falling over themselves to talk about how much they and their moneyed partners spend. They often seem to be the type that would frame having a high-earning partner as a significant achievement that would make others envious.
