Fuelled by curiosity, and his love for a good deal, he continued: “So there you go, I’ll give you a euro, a €1 pint, and I’ll take that. Let’s try this €1 pint. Look at that – a nice, clean, cold pint. It’s got a nice, good head on it – let’s try it.
“That is actually one of the best pints I’ve had in one of the popular bars. That is actually one of the best pints I’ve had in Benidorm to be honest with you. €1, I’ll drink them all day.”
The video sparked a flurry of responses as viewers chimed in with their two cents and recounted their own thrifty tales from the Spanish resort.
One user simply marveled: “Wow.” Another reminisced: “I was there last week.”
A third echoed the sentiment, saying: “Lovely pint. Had many.” Meanwhile, another affirmed: “Bargain.”
Uncle Ron’s, a hit with British holidaymakers in Benidorm, is famed for its budget-friendly tipples and tasty grub. Many people go there when they visit the popular destination.
TripAdvisor reviews boast of Uncle Ron’s all-day dining options, with an impressive 3.8/5 rating. It appears to be a popular choice for those seeking a decent meal and drinks on their break.
One satisfied customer gushed on TripAdvisor: “Had a fantastic breakfast at Ron’s today. Lovely English produce. Great service. Brilliant staff. A massive group came in, but they were serviced promptly. Don’t know how they manage with so few staff.”
Another shared: “Last day we visited for some lunch before heading to airport. Left full, which is always a good thing. In all my times of going here, never left unhappy at the service nor the food – always really good.”
A third chimed in with: “We went many times during our two-week holiday. The staff are friendly and extremely hard working day and night.
“Cheapest drinks you will find in town and food to suit everyone (daily deal only 6 euros). It’s not a stylish 5* restaurant but then you wouldn’t expect it.
“For drinks just go to the bar like a normal bar. Always busy Sunday and Friday, so expect to book if you want a Sunday lunch. Would we go again? Certainly would!”
