The average price of a pint in Glasgow has been revealed by new research, while also ranking Edinburgh as the better night out.
A study, conducted by Get Licensed, analysed the number of venues per head in each UK, the cost of a pint and a range of safety issues in order to reveal 'the best night out in Britain'.
In at number one spot was York, with a rating of 7.67 out of 10, closely followed by Telford and Warrington.

The data, which aims to assess 'where in the UK offers the best nightlife experience?', suggests the average pint price in Glasgow is £3.78. The most expensive pint of beer in Britain is considered to be in London, unsurprisingly, at £4.97, with the cheapest pint found to be £2.60, in Telford.
Explaining how the research was undertaken, Get Licensed say: "We wanted to find out which UK towns and cities are the best places for a good night out. We considered a range of factors including the number of venues per head, the cost of a pint, and a range of safety issues.
"The data we used for the number of bars and clubs was taken from Tripadvisor, while the number of pubs close to each location was taken from CAMRA’s whatpub.com. We then compared this data to the populations of each town and city using data from The Geographist.
"Additionally, we sourced the price of a pint from Numbeo. This figure was given as a price per 500ml, which we used to calculate what a pint measure would cost in proportion. We also used Numbeo’s safety data to track a range of safety-related factors for each town and city.
"We combined all of these factors into a single overall score, where each was given equal weighting. We also created separate scores for each town and city-based purely on drinking factors and safety factors."
