A British couple were strolling down a street in Tenerife on holiday. ![]()
As they turned a corner, they noticed a sign outside a small bar:
**“Jimmy’s Bar – ALL drinks €0.10!”** ![]()
They looked at each other in disbelief.
“Must be a joke,” the husband said.
“Well… there’s only one way to find out,” the wife replied.
So they walked inside.
The place looked like a normal bar. Nothing fancy, but clean and friendly. Behind the counter stood a cheerful bartender.
The couple ordered a pint of lager and a cocktail. ![]()

A moment later the drinks were placed on the bar.
“That’ll be **20 cents please**,” the bartender said.
The couple stared at him.
“Twenty… cents?” the husband repeated.
“That’s right,” the bartender smiled.
They paid, still shocked, and enjoyed their drinks. When they finished, they ordered the exact same thing again.
Once again the drinks arrived.
“Twenty cents please.”
Now the couple’s curiosity kicked in.
“How on earth can you sell drinks this cheap?” the woman asked. ![]()
The bartender laughed.
“Well,” he said, “it’s simple really. I always dreamed of owning a bar here in Tenerife. Last year I won **£109 million on the EuroMillions**, so I opened this place. I’ve got more money than I could ever spend, so I don’t need to make a profit.”
The couple congratulated him and happily ordered another round. ![]()

While sipping his lager, the husband noticed something odd.
In the corner of the bar sat **three elderly men**, quietly chatting.
They’d been there the entire time…
but **none of them had ordered a drink.**
Curious, the husband nodded toward them and asked the bartender:
“Who are those three guys over there?”
The bartender glanced over and chuckled.
“Oh, those are three of my regulars. Retired lads from Yorkshire.”
The husband frowned. “But why aren’t they drinking?”
The bartender shrugged and said:
“Because they’re waiting for **Happy Hour… when the drinks are half price!**” ![]()
