Aubars?

:mad:

I was in there last night for a while. €5 for a bottle of non alcho becks? What's the story with that? Of course, I should have questioned them at the bar, but I didn't............

A bit of a rip off..........

Thats pretty standard pricing for a long neck bottle in a night club, not that I'm defending it.

It sure is correct, they must display their prices some where.
5.50 for a bottle normally of Bud or whatever, no wonder places are empty

It's a total rip off given that you can buy a box of 20 bottles of heineken/bud/carlsberg for 15 euro :mad: saw my local publican in lidl recently with his trolley full of them (which I know is illegal). So he's buying them for less than a euro each and selling them for 4.50. Go figure....

This was at 9 o clock in the bar???? Nobody forced me to pay it, but I won't be going in there again. I wouldn't mind, I rarely go in there in the first place.

Multipack bottles aren't to be resold individually.

A fiver for a bottle of non-alcoholic beer is hardly pricey, especially when you consider that you're not going to drink as many.

You're not going back there, so why complain?

Where is the source for this being illegal?

Fiver for a bottle is pretty average in fairness, vast majority of places charge 4.50-4.70 for a bottle of bud.

L.T.P.

Absolute rip-off :mad:

I don't think it's that bad.. Why didn't you just get a mixer or even water if you weren't drinking?

Non-alcoholic beer is the same price as normal beer even in Dunnes so it's not that ludicrous for a bar to charge the same..

Now if you ever wanted a rip-off, 10 euro for a basic cocktail in Trinity Rooms had me weak laughing. I've spent less in bigger and better Dublin clubs.

Given my huge salary I feel a fiver is quite cheap, in fact I propose they raise the price so that I may enjoy a tipple free of the great unwashed.

The price you pay in the pub for your drink must be factored in with rates, Pub license, staff wages, lights heating - the list goes on and on. The surroundings you sit in to drink your drink is part of what you pay for - people need to stop comparing the price of a bottle in pub/club with what you pay in Tesco's.

Tesco will buy the alcohol cheaper and therefore can sell it cheaper as they do not rely on Alcohol to lead their sales.

Many pubs will have a minimum margin they will accept on a bottle and will try to get the bottle for as cheap as possible whilst also trying to be loyal to a supplier when they can as well.

I know the pricing of beer wholesale and would personally say €5 is a lot for a Non Alcoholic Beer in a 330ml bottle, especially something like Becks as well.

Probably had a better chance of actually getting a tail though in Trinity Rooms....

I heard you can get hangovers from non-alcoholic beer. Is that true?

Would really make it all a bit pointless.

How is that illegal?

That's just an instruction from the manufacturer.

I bought a box of beer last week in Tesco and there was nothing as you are suggesting on the box or the bottles.
