A content creator journeyed an impressive 1,000 miles from Manchester solely to savour pints of his beloved beer for a mere £1. Danny, the face behind the Honest Places channel, secured bargain Ryanair return flights to Prague for only £45, while splashing out £55 on centrally-located accommodation for two nights.

This represented a saving of £70 compared to his forthcoming London excursion, where he’d shelled out £100 on rail travel and £70 for just a single night’s lodging.

Prior to departing from Manchester Airport, he shared with viewers: “Ryanair is the best airline. You get people crying all the time, ‘Oh, they have charged me extra for a bag.’ You know when you book it, it says all the dimensions. You know the rules. And if you are going to a European city for three days, you don’t need a 22kg suitcase.”

Upon landing in Prague during the morning hours, Danny enthusiastically revealed that certain establishments begin serving as early as 10.30am. Speaking to his 108,000 followers, he disclosed that this wasn’t his first visit to the Czech capital, and consequently wouldn’t be focusing on conventional tourist attractions.

Rather, he delivered precisely what his audience craved, making a beeline for a local pub situated on the city’s periphery. He then offered his perspective on the nation’s drinking traditions, describing them as the “king of beers”, and suggesting their higher consumption rates were directly linked to the remarkably affordable prices.

However, he also observed: “People in there, no one’s on the phones at all. Literally everybody is just chatting to each other. Someone brought out some meat, they are all just having bread and meat, while all chatting to each other, you compare that to when you go out in the UK, you see a group of lads or a group of girls on a table, like four or five of them, and no one’s even talking to each other.

“They are all just on their phones. It is like if you are going to do that, don’t go out. It is completely different over here, it is like people actually go out to see your mates and actually have a chat with your mate, you don’t just sit there on your phone.”

Danny then revealed he’d travelled to Prague specifically for a pub called Hany Bany, which offers Happy Hour daily from 3-4pm. During this golden window, customers can enjoy pints of beer for just £1.

According to Danny, they’re absolutely superb.

As he arrived, he enthused: “Here we go, Hany Bany, my favourite pub in the world, in all its glory. The staff are banging, the atmosphere is banging, the prices are banging.”

Arriving slightly early, he initially paid £2 for a Staropramen Unfiltered. He described it as his favourite beer and reckoned you could down 20 of them without suffering a hangover.

When Happy Hour kicked off, Danny secured two more pints before heading outside to savour them in the fresh, chilly air. Taking a gulp, he remarked: “I tell you what, Staropramen Unfiltered, you can’t get it anywhere, you can’t get it in a pub anywhere in the UK. You can get it in bottles sometimes in Asda, but apart from that, you can’t get it anywhere. It’s a weird taste, it’s got like a hint of coriander in it, it’s well weird. If you come to Prague, get Staropramen Unfiltered.”

Following the upload of his video, titled ‘I travelled 1000 miles for a £1 pint’, which you can view in full here, viewers were quick to share their thoughts. One commenter wrote: “It’s like a good time travel to the 80s pub wise with no phones, cheaper booze and people actually having conversations, great vid pal.”

Another chimed in: “It’s absurd that just the cost of the train is the same as return flights and two nights in a hotel.”

A third viewer observed: “I’d happily go to Prague, or most other cities in Czechia, every month if I could. Beats anywhere in the UK to be honest.”
