€10 for a pint of Guinness!

allthedunnes

I went into a pub last night (not my local) and asked for a pint of Guinness. The barman poured me a crap pint and gave it to me. I took my first sip and he said "that'll be €10 when you're ready". I nearly fainted. I refused to pay it and he said "well you've sipped your pint already, so I'll have to charge you". I gulped down the pint and threw the tenner at the chap.

I have seen similar stories on here about things like this.

Why do barren charge an extortionate price for a badly-poured pint? Is that not breaching some sort of regulation or something? What are your thoughts on this scandal?

I wasn't paying too much attention, but on the way out I saw a sign that said:

Pints - €7.

€7 - for a pont of Guinness, seriously!

I thought a fiver was bad enough.

Deco Nate is the only troll here. Is it normal for some barman to charge that for a pint of Guinness?

Yes perfectly normal. Remember Noonan's €5 troll tax in the last budget.

No wonder the pint was suite, he never let it settle.

I call shenanigans on the OP

where i am assigned at the moment with work (Middle East), if i want a pint of larger or guinness outside of the private members club where i usually booze, you'd be looking at the equivalent of 10-15 euro easy......hence i don't booze there.....if you want to buy a tray of 24 440ml cans of guinness instead and booze at home, you're looking at about 120 euro roughly i think......but 10 euro within ireland i find very hard to believe....maybe its true but who'd drink there ever with those prices (apart from the OP obviously!)???

Robbery so it is.

Did the sign say cordials €10,000? I think I know the barman you're talking about

Yeah right, don't think this lad has ever seen a pint of Guinness.

I remember back in maybe 98/99, I would be paying £1.90 for lager and £2.10 for Guinness, good times.

As for €10, is that the normal price in Mullaghmore cause there's not that many pubs there.

Or am I getting to over invested in this as chances are it'll be locked within the hour.

Did the pub have big windows?

The OP is a known troll, thread gets locked and account deleted and he will be back in a few hours with new user name and another sensational new thread...

Jaysus, I only asked a simple question!

The barman will tell you where your lost cow is for that €10.

It's sad reading. A pitiful way to spend an evening. Better out in the pub with a real pint.

Its an outrage. Lets protest.

How did the op get to mullaghmore?

Was it in his bmw (doesn't care whether itsxa one series or five series) or was it in his ford mustang which he was importing from Germany?

You say that but will you? Of course not. Report your sock puppet other persona while you're at it.

I REALLY hate the school holidays.

He was there after the cow went missing and it has better TV reception. The reduced level of break ins in the area attracted him. Though he's thinking of moving to Lisbon or Zürich.

Why would someone make up a story as pedestrian as this and start a thread on it? I don't understand what they get out of it.

Ha. People going to crowded pubs full of tv noise and ridiculously overpriced alcohol. So last century.

That 10c is a pain though. In my local lager has gone from 5 to 5.10. Used to get an exact 15-20 on rounds and no change. Now I am weighed down at the end of the night.

€4 in the college bar in NUIG where I once frequented. Usually pay 4.40 in my local.
