Pub landlord lifts ban on selling half pints - but now charges customers a staggering amount

A pub landlord has removed a ban on selling half pints - but now has them on offer for a shocking price. Mr Bittles first made headlines in 2022 when he announced that his pub would no longer be serving half measures of Guinness. After flatly reusing to serve half pints for two years John Bittles, the owner of Bittles Bar in Belfast, has decided to change his ways Mr Bittles first made headlines in 2022 when he announced that his pub would no longer be serving half measures of Guinness Mr Bittles said he changed his mind to appease the influx of tourists brought to the area by a spike in the number of cruise ships docking in the Northern Irish capital. Before they stopped serving half pints, Mr Bittles said customers were taking up tables for too long and spending too little which he couldn't 'justify'. Mr Bittles said while some choose to buy a full pint when they realise the cost, others are happy to pay more for a half as some are just 'not pint-drinking people, they are more half-pint people' The number of spaces in what is already one of Belfast's smallest pubs is limited due to its table service policy.
