Therre's a pub in Letterkenny that does 3 euro pints all week

saywhatyousee

Its 1 euro drinks in a few places in Sligo on monday night cant beat getting a triple morgan and club orange for 4 euro
Sligo surely has to be the cheapest place to drink in the country on a regular night i can get 8 shots of jagermeister and two cans of red bull for 14 euro.
Bottles of bud and heineken can be got for 1.80
Pints for 2.50-3(nobody buys them cause spirits are so cheap.

My local in Co.Wexford does all pints for 3 euro during the winter, something bloody wonderful about going up for 3 pints and getting change back from a tenner.

3 quid a drink in the gah club around the corner. Easy to get caught out. :pac:

I'm sure in whatever student specials pub you drink in it's like that, but not in the rest of the town or county.

student bars dont count! i remember my time in sligo in the pub you are talking about. in 3rd year i got sick of the place (prices were not as cheap, but still the cheapest in sligo), you can only get vomited on my a 17 year old so many times :rolleyes:

€3.40 for Vodka, whisky and Gin. €3.80 pint of Guinness and €4.00 for pint of Larger, is usual in Donegal. Think the cheapest is €3.20 for Guinness.

Yeah i'd agree with senna this is pretty much the norm around Donegal although lager maybe a wee bit cheaper i would class €4 as being on the dear side

The low prices we pay is our reward for not living & drinking in a Kip!

Problem sorted.

Was in a bar in Lucan a few Weeks back, double vodka and a seven up, €13.50 :eek:

The Naggin didn't even cost me that ffs!

About time bars/clubs copped on to the fact that whilst they continue to ride us at the till, there lovely premises will remain nearly empty! (was only at the pub due to a birthday party))

Pay 13.50 for a double and 7up, then complain :rolleyes:

And anybody over 21 sneaking drink into pubs is utterly mortifying. I'd rather drink at home for the rest of my life.

Gawd yeah, what would the neighbours say?! Much more honorable to have the wallet raped.

Probably stuff like "how did your confirmation go last week?".

My local in Dublin sells Guinness for 3.65 a pint

Surrounding pubs are usually 4.10 a pint

I was appalled when I went to my relatives local in the midlands and had to pay 4.65!

Where is this??? That was never going on when I lived there.
Im well outside the pale (Canada), cheapest guinness i can get is $6 (E4.50ish) for a pint of guinness, plus tip!
Even the local lagers, youre paying about the same including a tip.
God i hate tipping.

Everything else - 4.00

It is at the bottom of the main street like the lad said. The 3e pints is indeed its only redeeming feature but at least its not full of undesirables

What happens if you don't tip? Next time (if ever) I'm in north america again I'm going to a rake of different pubs and never giving a tip

retalivity

josie's i take it then.

You dont tip, at best you get bad looks & bad service next time your there, at worst you get shouted at and embarrassed.
But you took the cap of a bottle, or sat a pint glass under a tap for about 15 seconds. Why should i give you a dollar extra for that???

Fair enough if you are only planning on staying for one drink in each pub because don't expect to get served again without a tip.
