Imagine a world where your Friday night fun won’t drain your wallet. Well, this one lucky city in England is living that dream. Responding to the ongoing cost of living crisis in the United Kingdom, six popular pubs and bars in Doncaster have teamed up to introduce a unique solution: a “crisis buster” ticket, offering an entire evening of unlimited drinks for just £20 (about $25.51).

According to a Doncaster Freepress report published Thursday, every Friday night from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m., patrons can indulge in the ‘bottomless brunch’ experience at participating venues, including Boogie Bar, Hall Cross, Ballers, Mint, Mambo and Social. For about the price of a craft cocktail in New York City, Doncaster partygoers can savor an extensive range of libations, from mixed drinks to popular beers, accompanied by live music and DJ performances.

The fixed price covers bottomless drinks  — and pizza! — across all six establishments. A spokesperson highlighted the variety of beverages, encompassing standard brews like Fosters and Guinness, as well as house spirits, cocktails and soft drinks.

“A drinks range unsurpassed by any other offer,” the spokesperson continued, per Doncaster Freepress. “Whatever you want, it’s there.”

“It’s being out-out with your mates, it’s being dressed up and taking pictures what you’ll look back on for years, it’s laughing so hard you can’t breathe, it’s the sense of community as you glance over at the next table and see they’re doing the very same thing, socialising and having fun like old times again.”

The designated operating hours for each venue are as follows, according to the report:

Hallcross: 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Ballers: 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Boogie: 9 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Mint: 9 p.m. – 12 a.m.
Social: 9:30 p.m. – 11:30 p.m.
Mambo: 10 p.m. – 12 a.m.

Emphasizing responsible drinking, the spokesperson assured patrons that standard safety efforts would be in place.

“Normal measures will be in place to insure responsible drinking,” the spokesperson concluded, per Doncaster Freepress. “This offer is designed to help with financial control during the cost of living crisis.”

Now, we only wish this kind of deal could make its way to the good ol’ U.S. of A!
