As an Irish person I've always known that temple bar was expensive, but it never really hit home till I seen this picture uploaded on my mates fb page.

No wonder Temple Bar ranks so low on the Huffington Post's review!

Their own fault if the pay that price when you can get in much much cheaper just a few yards away:

It's just like any stereotypical tourist trap type destination.

It's even more dramatic in some continental destinations. Try the price comparison between a tourist café and a normal café in Paris for example.

A coffee and a croissant won't get you much change of €20 in some of them!

This is why I have bags of crisps down my pants when I go out

I'll have to introduce you to a French friend of mine, she brings her own biscuits to cafés and sneaks them out of her handbag!

I deal cheese and onion out of a transit round the back.

Ended up having to pay €16.50 for a small coffee and coke on the champs elysees a few years ago.
