    Local was charging 4.80 for Guinness/smithwicks and 5.30 for macro lagers, they stuck 20 cent on each so no major hike.

    One thing that's certainly proving true from this thread - is the difference in prices between the cities and the rest of the county.

    Sure, rent might be more in the cities, possibly staff costs too, but that's got to be counteracted by the much higher volume of sales in the city pubs, compared to the rural pubs.

    Thanks,

    G.

    City insurance and rates (tax) are significant factors also, but there is also price gouging.

    It's an even sadder state that you can barely buy one pint, for a tenner, in some of the Dublin pubs!

    Best we can do, is blackball those that try to rip us all off.

    Thanks,

    G.

    I am nearly sure that Guinness is 4.80 in the Swagman, Sligo this week.

    I'll have to check my notes, but I think it was 4.40 in 2019.

    Might have been said earlier 6.10 for coors/Heineken in the Manhattan in Raheny and 6.55 in malahide! Ridiculous

    Think I paid €6 in Fowlers for a Heineken. Felt sick paying it. Guessing Gibneys are charging 6.55?

    That place The Manhatten has been taking the p1ss for long time - I didn't mind it as much, when you got the extra hour's drinking at the weekend,n but that's obviously gone now.

    As for Gibneys, same thing...

    Vote with your feet - Harry Byrnes, The Sheds, The Pebble Beach, The Beachcomber, The Ceders etc are all nearby.

    Thanks,

    G.

    Oh certainly intend to! We had 1 and left. The girl who was serving us was embarrassed when she said 12.20!

    east Co. Galway

    Screenes of Guilka, Guinness = 4.20 (this is the pre-COVID price, I'd say)

    Two pubs in Abbeyknockmoy, Guinness = 4.50

    Not local, but we were up in Leopardstown races last week. They were selling bottles of Rockshore, Heineken & Bulmers for €7 a bottle!

    Naas lager up from €5.10 to €5.50 and Guinness up from €4.80 to €5.20

    ordinary pub not a hotel, now they were never good value but it’s hard to justify, I’m just not having my ‘flyer’ anymore so costing me much the same just with a pint less onboard leaving.

    I was out for a few drinks in Galway last weekend for the first time in around 18 months. Hughes Bar on Woodquay - think it was 4.40 a Guinness.

    330ml and they sold out of Heineken & Bulmers by the end of the 4th race so people were stuck with Rockshore which was just twisting the knife!

    Ah memories, I spent way too many nights in Foleys in the early 2000s when in college in Sligo.

    Limerick City at the weekend, mostly drinking local beer but Beamish was around 4.20 or 4.30 most of the places I drank it.

    Went to get a 3 Beamish for 10 euro deal in a pub near the hotel (Alfie Earls), but I didn't think it was worth the deal since it was likely the Guards were about to raid it at any moment, given how loose **** was in there.....

    Was back in Dublin from England the other week visiting friends and family. paid 5.70 for a Guinness in my local in north Dublin. Pure scandalous price. Over again this weekend for a meal and drinks in Dublin, dreading what extortionate I'll be paying for pints!

    Is Dublin really much more expensive than parts of London, if at all? Bristol, even?

    I know its not a pint but was charged €9 for pint and a glass of Heineken down by the river in Sligo. A pint is €5.20 so €3.80 for a glass is a bit steep!! I know a glass always more than half the price but....
