Graham White, also known as Benidorm Grumet, often goes to the Spanish resort and decided to put one of his fans’ theories to the test – and he was left stunned at the results
Brits in search of an affordable holiday with a vibrant atmosphere are flocking to Benidorm, a resort where the nightlife sparkles and drinks flow until the sun comes up – making it an absolute magnet for stag dos.
But just how budget-friendly are the pints in this Spanish haven?
Graham White, also known as Benidorm Grumet among his almost 60K TikTok followers, couldn’t believe his eyes when he discovered a pint going for less than a cuppa. At a certain spot, a humble brew costs £1.66, yet Graham found himself ordering a pint of beer for a mere 83p – a price that would have Brits doing a double-take back home, reports the Express.
The 48-year-old social media sensation took to TikTok to share his bargain-hunting adventure. In the video, Graham gives viewers a tour of the pub’s ambience and introduces the staff and clientele before putting the barmaid on the spot: “How much is it for a pint of Estrella?”

“One euro, one euro for a pint,” she declared, an offer too good for Graham to pass up. He then questioned the price of a brew and found out it was exactly twice the cost of a pint, at two euros.
While some of his fans were amazed, others doubted the authenticity of such a deal. “People called me a liar and said there was no place in Benidorm where you can get a one-euro pint. So I went in and got one,” Graham claimed, silencing the critics by showing them it’s the real deal.
Dubbed as the “cheapest bar in Benidorm,” one patron couldn’t hide their surprise at the bargain prices, stating it was “double [the price] for a cup of tea.”
With the average pint in London costing a hefty £6.50 according to Finder.com, and the UK-wide average not far off at £5.44, holidaymakers might find themselves getting merry for a fraction of the price after touching down in sunny Benidorm.
The post quickly sparked a flurry of comments, with some wittily asking, “Why would you bother with anything else?” Another chimed in to praise Benidorm’s economy, labelling it “cheap as chips” compared to numerous other tourist traps.
The response didn’t stop there – someone bemoaned, “Love the price, pity I don’t drink.” Another recent visitor couldn’t wait to share, “Went here yesterday, the food is ace as well.”
Further reactions included kudos like “Bargain of the day” and another declaring, “May as well get the pints in!”.
