6.60 for a pint of carlsberg

timberland

I was in Gogartys over the weekend and ordered a pint of carlsberg, gave the bar man a 10er and got 3.40 back. thought it was a mistake so asked him how much it was and he said 6.60 and started to laugh and shrugged his shoulders.i started to laugh and said he could keep it so got my money back and left. Its a disgrace how pubs could charge that. probably the most expensive pint in the world

Got charged €5.00 for a bottle of Bud in Clohessys bar in Limerick a while back. Haven't darkened their door since.

24 cans of Stella for €19 in Tesco. This is why I drink at home.

One of the items on a Newstalk programme today (Tuesday, think it was with Conor Brophy on the Breakfast Show) was the fact that a pint of lager in Temple Bar cost over 6 euro.

Me thinks they are scanning boards for stories again.

Eh I got a vodka&coke in Temple bar a few weeks ago and it cost 9 euro something!!:eek:

It's stuff like this that makes me glad I don't live in Dublin anymore. Last time I was over I was charged 6euros for a bottle of Heineken in Nearys.

My local in London is £2.60 a pint...and was in a place recently where it was £1.80 for a vodka and lemonade :eek:

Fair play. Barman wont be laughing if he ends up on the scratcher due to his employers lust for profits :rolleyes:

was in gogartys too some guy hands back a pint and i got it for free

prices are at the door

Highly unlikely the prices are at the door. Id say 1 in ten boozers have the prices on the door. And they DON'T say anything about the increase in prices after certain times.

There was a lad on newstalk yesterday from paddy wagon tours and the general concensus with his tourists was utter shock at the prices of gargle around Dublin, specifically Temple Bar, so they are staying away. He gave an example where one girl was charged €27 for a Bellini, should be half that :eek:

...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.

Didn't tell you the ava was just 3.8% though did he;)

Pure horse piss.

Beats me too, IMO this is a smashing boozer - I love the place.

Why is the crowd so poor all the time? It's free in as well! I'll say hello if ever I spot you in there.

Anybody consider the cost of the property lease might be the biggest factor in the prices they charge?

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:

I lived in Norway for a few months, the local beer was about €8 a pint (and they did that European thing of not filling it up to the very top), so obviously the alternative was to drink at home. The state runs all the offies and they all close at 3pm on a Saturday. The next time they open is at 9 on a Monday. Enjoy.

Thats taking the piss alright. You should hit the Beamish. 3 pints for just over a tenner. Yum yum.

ScumLord

One of my locals has started doing €3 a pint on Sundays. Allot more lock ins these days too, even blatantly staying open till 2am some nights.

I found London to be great value, could get a round in (centre of London mind) for less than a round in my small town in the west of Ireland.

€3 for a Club Orange!(250ml).

As a non-drinker, this drives me mad. Not much of an incentive to go to a pub and drink minerals when it costs €18 for 1.5 Ltrs!! I don't have an exact price for a 1.5Ltr bottle in a shop, but I'm guessing it'd be around €2-€3? How's that for a mark up?

About 10 years ago I decided to only drink tap water with ice in pubs. Apart from buying my mates a drink, going to a pub costs me nothing now, and I end up drinking a few pints of water which is healthier...

Indeed, top class stuff.

Zonda999

Cant believe that in dublina, if you're to buy 3 pints, it'll cost ya 20€:eek:. Down here in mid-Cork, most pints are below 4€.

Clearly this place needs avoiding, so dont go to this establishment!(Just noticed you cant post pics in AH!)

pcurls

€7.50 for a glass of house white wine in the hilton in northern cross.

1. Its f*cking northern cross, who the f*ck can afford that?!
2. Its house white, and a glass at that.
3. It wasnt remotely full. not even the posh half full glass you'd expect, it was just plain half empty!!

the only reason i go there is cause i have a meeting once a week. i'll be bringing a bottle of my lidl water in future!

robbin b*stards!

Travelled onto Nice were they were only 14 quid for two which seemed a bargain compared to the previous.
