Get ready for the ultimate night out with your friends at Phineas! Introducing Price Crash, our most interactive event of the week. Starting at 19:00 and going all the way through to close every Thursday, this is the perfect way to kick off your weekend early.

What’s the deal? Imagine a bar that turns into a live stock market – that’s right, drink prices rise and fall all night based on their popularity! We call it the Drink Exchange. One minute your favourite cocktail might be a steal, the next it could be a splurge. It’s all about timing and strategy, just like the real stock exchange.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Dynamic Pricing: Watch the screens to see which drinks are crashing and which are soaring. Will you grab a bargain or splurge on a high-demand drink?
  • Interactive Fun: The thrill of the market makes every order an adventure. Rush to the bar when prices drop and feel the excitement of a true stock market crash!
  • Perfect for Groups: Whether you’re celebrating, catching up, or just looking for a fun night out, Price Crash is the ideal setting for a memorable evening with friends.

So, gather your crew and head to Phineas this Thursday. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the highs and lows of The Drink Exchange. It’s not just a night out – it’s an event you’ll be talking about all week!
