jaffa20 · 20-07-2009 12:27AM

I wouldn't drink a pint of Carlsberg if someone paid me 6.60e. Horrible piss!

pebbles21 · 20-07-2009 12:28AM

Edgedinblue · 20-07-2009 12:28AM

Crate of miller €17 in tesco.......... end of!

I hate going to pubs for this exact reason.
Unless theres a good session or good Guinness :pac:

Meah. If you were that concerned, you could have asked the price in advance.

If it were me, I'd have paid it at the time but gone elsewhere and not returned!

Also I wouldn't have been drinking carsberg

...So there I was in the Off License this evening looking for cheap beer (and normally the cheapest in this Offo is Tuborg - it's generally expensive). I asked the guy had he got any Bavaria or Ditch Gold - somethin cheap. He said take the Carlsberg. I said "no im looking for somethin cheap" - so he says "yeah it's 8 cans of Carlsberg for €10"....I says "yeh serious?" - he says "yeah just got them in tonight - in date and all" - so I says "nice one" - so I's went to the counter and bought them - and tbh pretty chuffed. A real bargain for quality for once and they are goin down well!:pac:

Would normally have cost about 17 or 18 yo yo's.

OP don't go to pubs - drink at home or go on the knack.......most have copped on at this stage.

timberland · 20-07-2009 12:39AM

i drink Heineken usually but they didn't have any. (which added to my anger)

mikemac · 20-07-2009 12:40AM

You sure those Carlsberg were in date?

It's that attitude that makes the owneres charge that much!
The OP did the best thing, asked for his money back, I mean they really are taking the piss.

your post has really annoyed me. Why the hell would you pay that?

Ah... no...

I paid the equivilant of 12.50 for a pint of Guinness 3 years ago almost to the day in a pub in Reykjavik.

I only had the one btw...

Sephiroth_dude · 20-07-2009 01:09AM

6.60?thats a ****ing rip off end of.

20-07-2009 01:15AM

That's ridiculous. In the bar I work in it's €4.30, or something around that.

lol nowhere near, pints are €8.50 in most bars in nice, france, saw them selling bottles of magners for 9.50 in one or two places, heading to norway in a few weeks and been told that is considered cheap :eek:

It's mad the difference a few miles makes. My Father runs a pup in a little village in the centre of France, prices are SO cheap! A glass of wine is 50 cent. A bottle of beer is something like 80 cent. But then again the bar is in the absolute middle of nowhere.

entropi · 20-07-2009 01:50AM

That price for a pint of piss?:eek: No thanks!!

That's what the average sheep does. The OP made a small, but important statement in his actions.

£3.50 is the most expensive pint I've come across in London, £3 in most establishments. The lot of you are happily being conned.

No they are not. Only in Irish pubs in France. In a typical French cafe, it's about €2.50 for a demi.

You are talking out of your arse, or assuming the year is 1960.

Nice retort there, you haven't travelled much, have you..?

curry-muff · 20-07-2009 04:17AM

€3.40 a pint in a few places near me in donegal.

sherdydan · 20-07-2009 04:26AM

gotta say hearing about all the prices around the place makes me feel quite happy about here in athlone. the biggest pub in town, the palace sells fosters for 3 euro a pint and pitchers of any beer ya want (4 pints) for a tenner!!

No, I haven't travelled at all, and definitely not in the direction of what could be the cheapest pub in France. €0.80 for a bottle, not draft, in a pub and not in a cafe or supermarket. Even a bottle of local beer in a Thai 7-11 will cost over a Euro.

I've just pretty much stopped going out for a drink to be honest. Tired of my wallet being raped any time I go for a few pints. A pint of Guinness should be €3-€4 max; not €6.

Hilarious reading the Sunday Business Post yesterday - pub and nightclub owners blaming everything from the smoking ban to earlier closing times for the drop-off in business and the fact that they're closing premises in droves. It strikes me that they're missing the point completely. They must think consumers are extremely dumb not to notice that some publicans have raised their prices by up to 30 times the rate of inflation in the last year. The whole country is being fleeced and the fact that a large percentage of the Irish population are happy to be taken for a ride doesn't help.

When the excuses have dried up and there aren't anymore dim-witted, greedy pub owners to blame 'the smoking ban', 'early closing times' and other government-incentivised bully tactics, the few publicans that remain will only do so because they've finally accepted that there's only one thing that's going to save them - offering their customers value for money instead of trying to fleece them.

Agreed. What happened to pubs with atmosphere, where you didn't feel dirty and abused coming back from the bar realising how much you are being ripped off. Turn off the widescreen TV's showing Sky News 24/7, employ some friendly staff and stop ripping off anyone who dares go out for a few drinks!!

Irish bars, maybe, but you can get a pint of Mutzig for €4 in any local bar.

6.60 for a pint of carlsberg
