Pub in Dublin with cheap spirits

Karma ?:)
That has to be the cheapest pub in Dublin city centre, I love it:pac:
€3.50 Guinness I think.

Can't say I know anywhere that has *affordable* spirits. They're a rip off everywhere. Wether or not they priced due to taxes or their mark up, they're a rip off - €5.10 for a whiskey is disgraceful (which I think it is in the Foggy Dew).

In comparisson, in the UK (Glasgow), you can get a Whiskey or other spirits (w/ free mixer) for about £1.50./£2 in Weatherspoons . Maybe less actually. I know they've a smaller measure - 25ml- but you can "double up" for about £1.

So then that's a 50ml whiskey/vodka etc. and mixer that would be about £2.50/£3 = €3.30-€3.80 (give or take). How much would a 50ml vodka/coke cost here ?

With Ireland nose-diving faster and faster into recession (apparently) I can't see spirits in Pubs getting any cheaper
The cartel's "price freeze" fiasco was an utter disgrace - bumped the prices of everything up discretely and then got free publicity pretending to be looking out for the customers :rolleyes:

Ooop oops

Be careful they don't charge you for water

From what I can see, most Dublin pubs have upped their prices so a whiskey is likely going to be a fiver or thereabouts.

GAA pubs seem to be slightly cheaper than the cartel pubs.

Well I think they're technically private clubs and you've to be a member but my area has 2 and they let the locals in .

I don't actually know how many there are in Dublin or where they are. Someone joked to me that the GAA have only lasted so long because of the pubs.

What's the line with drinks promotions in Ireland ? I remember hearing or reading that you're not allowed have them or you can have them but not advertise them ?
