Hi Billy, sorry to hear that someone is trying to charge you more than original price, it should not have happened. There are around 20 to 30 bars and duhok
prices vary from place to place, but I advise you either to Jiyan or Dilshad hotel, where costs pilsen 5,000Id it is ca.4 $ and it is nice atmosphere and everyone is equal there and almost nobody cares if you are from the west or east .
Otherwise, you can buy drinks outside in senterum and it's the cheapest of course it costs pilsen from 1000 to 3000 id id it varies from brand.
