Bringing beer to a pub

fatherted1969

I dont get out for a pint as much as i used to but the couple of times i've been out lately i've noticed a huge amount of people are now bringing their nagans even mixers with them in their bags. I know some people get a few drinks in before they leave home but i've never noticed as many people bringing beer with them when they are out. Has anyone else copped this on. It must be cost the pubs loads in lost busines

Dunny

Only noticed now? Its going on years.!

I never do this, I never will either, I go to a pub to buy and enjoy my drinks.

In all fairness, this issue is being made to sound worse than it is.

It's difficult to successfully fit a keg in your pocket.

I have a small hip flask I bring with me to clubs an awful lot, buy my mixers.

I don't feel bad cause I pay the door fee and they're robbing me anyway.

Plus my hip flask is purdy.

If you want to bring your drink in with you, go to a fúcking field.

Brought a bottle of captain morgans rum to a 30th birthday party last weekend. I noticed i was one of many with the same idea there the publicans must know it's happening surely.

Nobody brings beer to the pub, except maybe the delivery guy.

Small bottles of spirits, on the other hand...

>_>

I seen people taking their own drink to a wedding, which is pretty scummy. I only noticed when the manager came over and told them to either get rid of it or leave. They then spent the rest of the night sitting outside drinking it.

I can half understand bring drink to a disco or concert (your paying a cover charge anyway) but if you can't afford to buy your own drink in an establishment, you should stay at home. Sneaking in drink would be very slightly above stealing drinks on the scumbag scale.

I am sure the club I go to knows what we're up to! We buy an orange juice, go straight to the bathroom and come back 20 mins later drunker :pac:

Its their own fault for not checking our bags. I got in with half a Lidl water bottle filled with vodka the other week.

I remember my friends telling me her mum did this and I thought it was weird. They wouldnt' be stuck for cash. Yeah I think don't bother going to the pub if you can't afford to drink. Drink before you get there etc. They're having a hard enough time making ends meet as it is.

I'm not so upset about doing it in clubs though as they do completely take the piss and I always find staff horrible in clubs so I feel less sorry for them.

Does anyone remember being in pubs in Dublin and after a certain time at night the price of drink went up? Say they had a late bar and once it hit 11:30 or whatever time it was they'd up the price by 10 c for everything.

Don't forget to bring your own food when you visit a restauraunt next time. No wonder places are closing down when you have three people sharing a pint.

It's hardly criminal now is it.:rolleyes:
Anyway, nobody is bringing beer, just spirits.
If people are happy to spend 50quid in the pub every night, fair play to them. But don't begrudge people who can only spend 20quid. :rolleyes:

Hahaha.

I do the same. A little Evian bottle does the trick. I sit it on the table as I order my 7Up. Desperate times. They are getting money out of me (just not as much as they'd like).

I paid ridiculous amounts for my vodka when I could afford it, but I can't now.

Truth be told, I think they know but would hate me to leave.





They're only human

Scummy behaviour tbh. Its hard enough to keep a pub running without that craic. Stay at home if you cant afford it.

Not at all. The place is empty anyways. No-one fighting for the stool. They are getting money for the 7Up. Better than nothing.

I feel although I don't bring much money to the club, I bring a great atmosphere and they are very grateful for that :pac:

Fix that thread title OP

Nobody brings beer only the rep and the delivery man.
But bringing spirits in handbags and jeans pockets has been going on for years.

Oh the barmen know exactly what's going on when a girl orders one diet coke and three glasses of ice. We're not stupid.

But management leave bar staff so understaffed we'd never make it to the floor so in the quiet corner seats yeah you could pour in your naggins and get away with it.

Pubs should offer incentives for people to drink. Some do this. Others don't. Besides, I think some boardsies need to repeat overheads 101 again.

Yeah I know, me too. Kind of annoys everyone when the popcorn starts popping, but if you do it before the actual film starts, most people don't mind

tan11ie

Everyone is doing that!!!! but they have cottoned on and bouncers are checking handbags on the way in.....so much effort and looks quite stingy tbh

AnonoBoy

Alison O'Riordan does it (or at least pretended to for a sh*te 'article' she was writing).

Therefore it's definitely not cool.

Thievery should be punishable by death!!

LuckyGent88

Clubs are catching on to it and doing searches on people coming in the doors, I've solved this one though with a little inspiration from John Mclane......

:pStingy Stingy........really i'm on about bringing bottles of beer in i've seen girls with them big enormous handbags full of them...then out comes the bottle opener.....the vodka sneaking has been going on years!!!

AnonoBoy

Don't all clubs search bags. Hasn't his been going on for years?

Why do people think clubs have only cottoned on this now?

I remember people having to open their bags when going into nightclubs in the 90's.

I had a mate who brought a sports bag full of Dutch Gold to the pub on more than one occasion. Also the same fella who roams around nightclubs drinking half finished drinks.

Bit of a stingey **** actually.

New trick now is to serve a reduced measure or worse!

Sure all you have to do is get a bloke to put it in his pocket and you'll be fine.

I had a full pint stolen from me one night.
Later on I took an empty glass and filled it up in the toilet (not with beer).
I left it on a table and it was gone within 10 minutes.

Bringing beer to a pub = poor broke fookers

On nights when they might, hide the hipflask on your person.

A fella at the table beside me in the pub two weeks ago had cans of beer on the seat and his jacket over them and poured his own all night. He was buying drinks at the bar for his wife , they obviously couldnt afford for them both to drink out. The shorts is a regular thing but this was the first time I'd seen it being done with beer.

El Horseboxo

People sneaking spirits into pubs is like downloading films and tv shows from the net. If they couldn't go the free route they most likely wouldn't go for the paying option. And if they did it wouldn't be a regular occurrence. So I doubt it's really affecting business too much. I'd rather be in a busy bar wit people drinking smuggled in scoops than be in an empty one with people paying over the odds.

Oh the indignity of it, I really feel for him, he must have felt so humiliated and embarrassed in the pub that night, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy......having to go to the pub with the wife :pac:

And pay for her drink when you cant afford your own

saa

Hmmmmmm what I've learnt tonight
if you can't afford it, on 100 a week ish so yeah you're poor

then you should be going to pubs you should sit at home and be poor and depressed who needs friends

on the other hand those who have enough money to spend 20+ on drink a night should to keep these pubs in business, the people who don't have money wouldnt be spending it anyway because they dont have it so the pub owners arent loosing much those who can spare the cash is a bit bad isnt it.

Well he probably thought "If I have to bring that bint out tonight I'm defo gonna make sure I get the ride later"......then ply her with drink, "Here have another pernod love......*whispers undr his breath* that should get your legs open and get you foaming at the gee for me" :P
