(a pint is closer to half a litre but I don't want to be that pedantic)

True "Lets go down to the pub for a 500 milliliter." might actually be funnier.

"for a half-liter" or "halfa'-liter" don't sound too bad actually

In (southern?) Germany (and other German speaking countries), we call it "Halbes", which is just "half". "Let's head down to the pub for a couple halves" would work quite well.

just halfa' sounds like completely normal british english, like cuppa
