The Price of a Pint

JimFin · 2013-11-03 17:11:59

What are you paying now (since budget rise) for a pint of beer in the pub. I know it varies a lot between towns and rural area. For me its €3.90 for Guinness and €4.20 for lager. Some rural pubs in the area are €3.60 for Guinness and €4.10 for lager.

€3 pints here in my part of Kildare on a Sunday, you can't beat that.

Why anyone would pay €5 a pint in a rip off shithole like Dublin is beyond me.

5.20 in most pubs in Dublin (O'Neills, Brogans, Stags Head).

Effing 6.20 in Gogarty's.

3 euros for a pint in kildare? I could get pleasantly pissed for a twenty.

I paid €6.10 in gogarty's some weeks back, it was so over priced we just laughed at it and moved after one pint. Are they just trying to squeeze tourists for every single cent? No bloody wonder you could observe 5 yanks sitting around two pints for 3 hours!!!

Was in the brewdock near Connolly station a few days ago. I really like the pub, its food, and the selection of beer it serves; but I paid €7.20 for a bottle of Augustiner. Seven bloody twenty. And that's even 68ml short of a pint.

Fosters is a nice beer imo. Much nicer than the usual Carlsberg/Bud/Heineken anyway.

There's a pub in Cork I hear does a Fosters 'snackbox'. 4 pints for a tenner. You're given a pint and 3 tokens and can use them whenever. The Sportsmans on Barrack St.

The saloon that I periodically visit charges a very reasonable €7.95 per pint. Prices like this help to squeeze out riff raff, the common people.

Tennents on draught 3euro , no big sacrifice being a Heineken drinker imo , don't mind paying a bit more if I'm going on a proper night out , but 3/4 euro for a few casual pints is enough , when it starts getting into the 5/6 for a pint that's just silly.

also find it funny ( and I'm guilty of this myself at times ) , grocery shopping ....£4 for a pizza. ffs! robbin cnuts!

and you'd swallow a bottle of miller in a half hour for the same price and would bat an eyelid.

I hope you're typing that in an accent.

Edit to add: I bought a bottle of whiskey on Friday too. It was €22 for a bottle of black bush. The same as 4 measures in a pub.

I was in a city centre bar in Derry on Friday night. This place is across the road from a night club and is a 'feeder-bar' for it, for younger people.
There is also, in the same premises, a bar for older drinkers. When you want to order a drink you can go downstairs and order
a cheaper round and bring it back to the bar.

3 x Bottles of Coors (or any bottled beer on sale) and a small Magners = £6:00. (For the lot.)
Smirnoff and Coke = £3:00. It's astonishing compared to what is being written here.

It just shows how much they are buying it for when they can sell at these prices, all night, on a Friday.
