    Just got sent an image on whatsapp of a mate drinking a Guinness in our old local.

    €5.10 the Carpenter, in Carpenterstown D15.

    Someone tell me this isn't the norm?

    I'm about to spend £24 on a pint of number 14 here in one of my locals but it's 11% so cheap really for one of the best beers around. If it was wine we would be talking £3-4k

    I was actually in the bar in the Carpenter (in-laws local) back in March. A pint of Smithwicks and Coors/Heineken/whatever lager I can't really remember was €10.55. I was hoping for change from a tenner but it's been that long since I've had a pint in a Dublin suburb that I wouldn't really know.

    Yeah serious bargain that in fairness.

    In Malahide, a pint of Heineken is €5.80. I hate paying it, but I love the pub.

    And that's why prices will continue to be at rip off levels

    Three pints of Carling for €11.


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,011 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    In mid Kerry village pub.

    Guinness 4.20
    Larger 4.20

    I remember paying €4 in the Villager when I lived in Chapelizod. I thought over €5 for a Guinness was reserved for Temple bar and the airport.

    £2.25 over here on a Mon and Tues. £3.50 normally. Why do people pay it?

    £24 on a pint?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,075 ✭✭✭✭Liam O


    I think even in locals if you don't have to give anything with a fiver these days you're doing well. Sad state of affairs really. It's brewed down the road ffs :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 HotSince84


    I haven't paid less than a fiver for a pint of lager anywhere in Dublin in years.

    Laois and a lot of pubs around Ireland. Could be Tubourg instead, but same deal. Used to be a tenner.

    No we wouldn't, You're just being ripped off with yuppy beer.

    There are very few wines worth £3-4k per pint.
    The ones that are have matured for decades and the grapes needed the perfect conditions to all come together. Beer is just not comparable.

    €5.50 in the one on the outskirts of Dublin. €4.90 in the real local.


  • Registered Users Posts: 255 ✭✭Accidentally


    €7.45 Quays Bar.

    Is this the fake Victorian nonsense in Temple Bar?

    Omnipollo in Stockholm? Nice bar. Akkurat's a great one, too.

    Just paid €3 for a pint of Fosters in Fuengirola. Half a litre in my local is €1.50. pint in the local Irish pub is about €4.50.

    Pints back in Bray seem to hover around €5.50 for lager, €4.50 for Beamish. Paid €6.20 in the Globe last time I was back.

    If you pay for craft beer you're being over charged.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,436 ✭✭✭dartboardio


    I drink Kopparberg, so usually €5.50/6 for 500ml bottle.

    Orchard thieves my local is €4.70, in town in Waterford itd be €5.50


    Lets just say i cant wait to go on holidays to have cheaper drink

    Probably not even a pint. Give it’s 11% you’d expect a higher price. But a brewery like Lagunitas can release a six pack of over 12% beer for $13.

    Living in Scandinavia. No pint, but 500ml and it's over €7.

    Bottles are a killer, but it is the spirits that are the worst. Standard GnT (40ml) can range from €14 to €16.
