Price of a pint in your local

RasTa · 18-05-2019 04:15PM #1

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

I see the point of the thread now.

Three pints of Carling for €11.

18-05-2019 04:40PM

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?

Wheres that?.
4.60 for Guinness in my local in east meath

Fr_Dougal · 18-05-2019 04:43PM

£24 on a pint?!

18-05-2019 04:44PM

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

HotSince84 · 18-05-2019 04:44PM

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.

18-05-2019 04:56PM

4:20 for a Guinness in Co. Galway.

Should have just made this the opening post as this is clearly what you wanted to communicate to a load of anonymous people on the internet...must be great craic in that pub...

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.

OldMrBrennan83 · 18-05-2019 05:03PM

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

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.

Slattsy · 18-05-2019 05:18PM

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

dartboardio · 18-05-2019 05:18PM

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.

PHG · 18-05-2019 05:37PM

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.
