    I just paid 7.20 for a pint of fairly basic IPA on Georges St. Is this becoming the norm?

    On the positive side, it's the most I've ever savoured a drink

    One of the cheapest pubs in the entire city is just off George's Street. No IPAs though.

    There are rip off pubs everywhere. Dublin is a generally expensive city at that

    Why did you agree to pay so much?

    I only saw the price after I got the receipt and the drink. Curse my "just tap my card" confidence

    That's why I prefer paying with cash.

    Hurts more and hits you in the face straight away :)

    I know, I was just having the one before meeting a friend for dinner. But still I'm a bit surprised, I remember drinking here as a student so the price increase is obviously newish.

    To be fair, temple bar pubs can be ~8e for a pint of Guinness which is a disgrace. But many pubs all over Ireland will have premium beer at near 7 euro. Lagunitas (US mass made IPA) is 7.50 a pint in Taphouse in Ranleagh.

    Good point. I was expecting to pay €6.50-7 but it was that crossing of the €7 threshold that I think surprised me a little.
