Finding Fever-Tree tonic water in Dublin

I don't suppose anyone's spotted this around? Either in a pub or for at home?

Cheers!

Not seen it in Ireland but you will find Fentiman's around the place.

I tried the Fever Tree in England and was rather disappointed with it - not terribly different to shwepps really.
Not crazy about Fentiman's either - at more than twice the price of Shwepps.

Yeah, I'll second you there. I only realised it was special when I was told...

Still, when it's for someone who'll appreciate it!

Tesco stock it. It's expensive but I thought it definitely tasted better than Schweppes, no aftertaste of sacharine.

Oh, great stuff. Hadn't noticed it in my local, but I'll head to a bigger one and keep an eye out for it.

Thanks!

Funny, I was in Tesco Jervis today looking at tonic water (as a gentleman does, from time to time) and didn't see it. I did take a bottle of their new own-brand to see if it's any good.

If anywhere in Dublin was going to have Fever Tree I'd have thought Fallon & Byrne would.

Well, it was in Tesco Ballybrack, which isn't usually a hot-spot for "fancy" items.

This was before Christmas when I was stocking up, I haven't been looking for it recently so not sure if it's still there.
