Wifey and i went to town for the first time in ages on Sat night as a few of my mates were over from Wales.

Free lift into town, went to the bar in Temple Bar pub, 1 pint of Guinness and a double whiskey and lemonade, 17.50!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Taxi back to Swords was 25 notes, total cost of evening hit around 200euro, won't be coming back into town again any time soon

Dunno. There's usually a party at my gaff on the weekends, all weekend (fri-sunday evening), so I don't really do nights out anymore.

No point wasting money to listen to people shout at each other over crap music when I can have a load of fun with a load of people in the comfort of my own home.

You got that arseways.
The mater is where all partied out Dubs end up.
Either that night..... or else 9 months later.

Danbo! · 15-03-2010 10:45PM

Night out starting at 5pm and eating 3 meals and drinking 25-30 odd drinks? Sounds like the same stories I heard every monday in school :rolleyes:

Night out for me would rarely break 50 quid if I go to town. I like getting pissed the odd time, but ill do that in my house rather than pay a fortune to go listen to ****e music followed by verbal diarrhoea (god bless spell check) from the taxi driver on the way home.

Thats where it all went wrong...

A good night out for me can cost as little as 10euro, or as much as 50-60euro...it all depends on who I'm with and where:) For example I went to a gig on Fri night last, cost was around 25euro including ticket cost and I had a great night:D

Being an alcoholic can be expensive.

Would be about €100-120 for a night in my local "town". A night in the local pub, about €50.

15-03-2010 11:08PM

A good night would be 40euro.. A normal enough night would be 25.. A cheap class night would be whatever price buckie and 6 cans was selling for that day.

df1985 · 15-03-2010 11:18PM

in a weird way the amount i spend seems to relate how good/bad the nightclub is. **** music in a **** nightclub-ill drink myself stupid. good music and i dont drink as much as im up dancing, not standing beside the bar doing rounds of ripoff shots because the place is so ****!

Stephentlig · 15-03-2010 11:28PM

20 - 30 euros, if I'm on my own.

ChocolateSauce · 15-03-2010 11:37PM

That depends entirely if my good nights involve drink or drugs. If drugs, about 20 euro, if drink, about 40 euro, if sober, about 10 euro.

Considering I do exactly the same thing regardless, I do whichever I haven't tried in a while.

g5fd6ow0hseima · 15-03-2010 11:42PM

few bottles beforehand in the house - €10
bus into city centre - 1.60
4 or 5 pints in the pub - 20 odd

toss up between late bar and niteclub... either way, no more than 3 or 4 more pints.

taxi home - 6 or 7e if split.

between 50 and 60 would be the norm. I occasionally hit 70 if I buy a kebab....

Beanmachine · 15-03-2010 11:46PM

Going into town least i could get away with would be €70 most would be anywhere up to €200

HalloweenJack · 15-03-2010 11:48PM

I'm in Madrid atm and it can be very cheap (for rich North Europeans).

I live next to the city centre so I can walk in and out but even the metro only costs a euro. Pre-drinking consists of a few litre bottles at €1.50 each, you can get them as cheap as €0.78 in some supermarkets. If you go to certain bars, you can get €1 beers which taste good. Most places, you can get glasses for about €2, tops. Then, when you head to a bar which plays music, you might pay €8 in and you'll get a free drink. If you go to a proper nightclub, you might pay as much as €20 in but get two free drinks. Then walk home or get a nightbus (€1.50) or wait til 6am and get the first metro for a euro.

Typically, I'll have two or three litre bottles here (less than €5), a few one euro beers (prob another €5) and then head to a disco and get my two whiskey and cokes with the the free drinks for about €20, at most. That's about €30 in total and it's enough drink for me. Then, I walk home. I love this city.

cian1500ww · 15-03-2010 11:57PM

Varies a lot for me, I try to keep it around €90. Hate seeing the empty wallet after a night out though :rolleyes:

Misty Chaos · 15-03-2010 11:59PM

Most I ever spent in a night out was probably somewhere between 120 - 150 Euro, on an average night I spend about 50, less if I'm not drinking. Those include drinks, access to a night club ( if any ) and food afterwards and possibly a taxi as well.

Rhyme · 16-03-2010 12:02AM

Spent a few days in Berlin there and the booze flows at the merest touch of a euro. Twenty quid and you're in a gutter talking to your choice of dead celebrity.

ScumLord · 16-03-2010 12:07AM

I'll spend whatever I have in my pocket, if it's €50 I'll get by on that, if it's €500 I'll probably manage to spend all that too.

Holsten · 16-03-2010 12:40AM

Wow OP, your mate eats a lot on a night out!

I could get away with €20, all depends on where I end up going.

I could have a fantastic time at a house party for €20.

Gillington · 16-03-2010 01:01AM

A few years ago,could easily spend €100+.Now with unemployment and a years backpacking behind me,thats down to between 20 and 50 and could still have a good night

AlmightyCushion · 16-03-2010 01:08AM

Sometimes I've woken up with more money than I went out with (brother is a manager of a bookies and they were out for the grand national all paid for by work) and some nights I've spent €300. Some nights I've only had 10 bottles of stella for a euro each. They were all class nights. A good night out is what you and your friends your drinking with make of it not how much you spend or where you go or whatever.

What does it cost you for a good night out?
