Not to mention that the beer prices are usually on the menu, and you could always opt for a soda instead.

The restaurant threads are good places to point out the general ambiance and cost of various places. I'll be honest, for me, a $5.50 beer wouldn't warrant much after-the-fact mention. It might cause me to only have 8 beers instead of my usual 13 with dinner, but $4-$6 seems like the going rate for a beer in most places.

If you're price-conscious you can certainly scope out the lowest possible price. But that, to me, is like driving 8 miles and 20 minutes out of your way to save 5 cents/gallon on a tank of gas... I (thankfully) have better things to worry about.
