As any self-respecting Parisian, you undoubtedly have your favorite bars, whether it's for the vibe, the staff, or, more likely, the prices. And for many, this spot was probably chosen with the invaluable help of a must-have app, MisterGoodBeer, which has been listing the cheapest pints in Paris for 10 years.

About a decade ago, before inflation and Macron's France came along, it was almost pleasant to live in Paris. The seasons were still a thing, according to some elderly folks, you could find kebabs for €5 with fries and a drink, and pints for half that price. Fast forward a decade, and the findings by MisterGoodBeer are clear: it’s no longer great to drink too much in the streets of the capital, whether it’s for your liver or your wallet.


A relatively uniform change across the capital

A few weeks ago, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, MisterGoodBeer revealed a brand new map of the metro stations where you can find the the cheapest beers in the capital. A quite handy index that they hadn’t updated in 10 years. To create this chart, they relied on the contributions from over 10,000 app users, focusing on bars within 100 meters of a metro station.

And the verdict is clear: the blessed era of €2.50 pints is truly over. Today, nothing is below €2.90, and overall, we’re seeing a general increase of €1 across the capital, especially in the neighborhoods that have gentrified in recent years. For example, Pantin station has gone from €5 to €7, making it the most expensive stop on line 5.


Our favorite spots, and those to avoid

One thing hasn’t really changed much in 10 years: the neighborhoods where having a drink costs you an arm and a leg, and those where just one is enough. So, it’s no surprise that if you don’t want to spend your entire minimum wage in one night, the stations to avoid at all costs are located in the west.

and in the center : City (11€ on average), Champs-Elysées Clemenceau (10€) and to complete the podium, Kléber, tied with Invalides (9.5€).

On the contrary, some neighborhoods in Paris, all conveniently located in the east, should quickly become your HQ, if they aren't already! We particularly recommend Alexandre Dumas, Couronnes, and Jaurès, three stations where the nearby bars offer pints for under €3. However, we do suggest you hurry up and take advantage of this, because if current trends are any indication, cheap beers, “in 20 or 30 years, there won't be any more...”
