If you have to ask the price Buddy, then you probably can't afford. And you don't sound the like the type most pubs would want

Gloomtastic!

Weatherspoons has the cheapest pints in town but don’t think they serve Guinness.

Kindly piss off if you've nothing to add mate

Just head in and go to wherever looks ok, I find the cheaper the pints the scummier the clientele... So a few quid extra will improve things.

Fiver in the lamplighter off meath st still...

Lamplighter was decent enough when I was there, "new" (five years plus by now I'm sure) owners have really changed the place. Also have Dillons on Parkgate.

Very traditional Dub locals, but there is nothing wrong with that.

I'm a local to D8 but not a dub, and the place is grand. I'm not a regular in there by any means, was asked 2-3 years back if i was a guard, but its not a flaming kip to be avoided

I drink Coors and can't fault Witherspoons for their 4.20

There is a bit of a drop quality wise that you just know just whatever your regular drink is

But it's not a €2 plus drop in quality as reflected by the drop in price.

I've had worse, a lot worse

Agree 100%with you on Dillions. The owners have done a very nice job with yet still retained most of the local clientele.

Its a massive improvements form when it was Walshs

If it's like the UK branches they've switched to UK brewed versions of their international lagers and it's effectively badly flavoured water.

AFAIK all the Coors in Ireland is brewed in the UK now so it's the same beer in Wetherspoon as everywhere else.

Karma in Handel's hotel on Fishamble Street was the cheapest 568ml in Dublin last time I looked. Not sure if 2003 prices are still relevant, though!

PS: 'An Club' [Club Chonradh na Gaeilge] on Harcourt Street probably does have the cheapest pints in Dublin in 2022, though. You just have to speak Irish while there. A great, secret spot in the city with all sorts of music and events from time to time. Some brilliant seisiúin start spontaneously.

The basement in this building, you can see the sign over it: https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conradh_na_Gaeilge#/media/%C3%8Domh%C3%A1:Conradh_na_Gaeilge_Baile_%C3%81tha_Cliath_2006.jpg

Karma is long gone, its replacement (a branch of the Oscars/Refresh setup) is also long gone and Handels are due to open a replacement bar at some point.

Wetherspoons will be cheaper than An Club, and will always be the answer for the cheapest pints - though it won't be pints of Guinness. If you can speak Irish you aren't that likely to be fond of Wetherspoons!

BeerNut

I don't know any other Dublin pubs that have Irish language signage throughout the premises 😉

Gloomtastic!

What’s up with Wetherspoons and Irish?

BeerNut

What's up with every other pub not bothering to respect our first official?

Caulfields hotel, Dorset street. Went in there a few times before a Croker Match. Older folks who really love their pints but a nice old crowd there that will chat to anyone. Reminds me of a place stuck in the 80s but has it's own little charm. Pints really cheap too! Around four or five years ago pints there were €3.20 for special imported lagers.

The rot set in when they stopped playing the National Anthem at closing time.

Then they banned happy hour and I lost all respect for Official Ireland's handling of alcohol.

If only Wetherspoons did music...

caulfields hotel is gone now & replaced with a more modern plub, dorset lounge i think, havven't been in yet tho

lot of the old looking bars have disappeared or replaced in the last 2 years, real shame

5 yeas in long time in pint-price years, cheapest in 2020 before the pandemic was the snug at around €3.60 which is just under a €5 now i believe

I'm fairly sure the Dorset Lounge ex Caulfields is gone. Planning went in ages ago to convert the bar areas to more rooms.

Thats a pity - I'd harbour a bit of warmth in my heart for an establishment in the vein of what Caulfields was. There was a raw, but friendly and warm Dub who in his or her late middle years (but looked a few more years further on) would pick you out for a generic chat, buy your kid a pack of crisps or coca cola in order to proceed to enjoy those fifteen minutes with you in the smoking area rambling on about whatever. It was nice.
