Just askin', what's a whopper pint? Bigger than a normal pint?

Guinness is usually €3.70 - €4.50 depending on rural vs city centre pubs. €5.70 for Coors Light ? I'd drink Bear Grylls píss before I'd drink that (Bear only charges €4.95 for his)

A flawless tasting pint is whopper.Its a club so its 3.70.People always say the diggers is the best pint but its not..

Not mush sympathy then -yes its mental expensive but you should have checked the prices. They have a lot of special offers in that pub - 10euro pitchers, 3euro pints fosters, cheap cocktails etc etc I think they are able to offer these deals by overcharging on pints of muck like coors lite.

5.70 :eek:

I wouldnt even pay that for a pint of Moet and Chandon

prinz · 20-12-2011 01:07PM

You should have asked first tbh. Pubs do display their prices if you are that worried about it to check before hand.

Yes €5.70 is a ridiculous price but the solution is not to go in there in the first place. The solution is not to order drinks and then walk out.

Are you for real? 5.70 a pint, I would have told them to **** off and stick it up there arse.

There are plenty of city centre pubs that charge this and more for a pint. I am surprised though that a local would attempt it.

Just go drinking outside of Dublin! Problem solved.

Paparazzo · 20-12-2011 01:10PM

Coors lite? Did it make your vagina itchy?

20-12-2011 01:11PM

You were in the wrong to a degree but good on you for not paying it , probably for the best that you are barred so you have the excuse never to go back to that sh1thole

smash · 20-12-2011 01:13PM

Why don't you go to the various pubs in your town and take down the prices, then write a note about it for your local paper.

Yitzhak Rabin · 20-12-2011 01:16PM

5.70 is too much for a pint.

That said, you ordered the drink, and once its poured its too late. If you're such a tight git you should have asked the price, before getting them to serve you. I would have barred you too.

Because people dont give a **** about prices of drink.Seems half of them will pay more no problem.

€3.50 a pint of Guiness in my two local's, pint of pretty much anything is else is €4 then, that's two rural pubs though.

Carthys.

Havn't drank in there in years when I was an underaged schoolboy.

I thought that was the standard price of a pint here... When I went the pub with my friends, I was charged 4.60 for a bottle of j20, my mate was charged 5.90 for a medium sized bottle of WKD, like the little ones you buy in 4 packs.

That's the price of children's booze these days I guess.

frag420 · 20-12-2011 01:22PM

You ordered Coors light? Are you sure were not barred for wearing a dress and high heels too?

Dont be at yourself · 20-12-2011 01:23PM

What's the problem? You're barred from a place that sell over-priced piss. Were you really planning on going back?

So you offered to buy someone else a pint, and then refused to pay for it? :pac:

Women ordering pints... I see the problem now!

Dodge · 20-12-2011 01:26PM

Why are you bothered a pub barred you, when you won't pay the prices in there anyway?

I'd happily be barred from every pub that charges over a fiver a pint

We already know about the Norwegian girlfriend.

bruschi · 20-12-2011 01:31PM

and hardly much of a local if you dont know how much pints are. I dont see the issue here. OP walks into a pub they dont frequent and gets barred, even though they wouldnt go back there anyway.

€5.70 is a ridiculous price for a pint, especially a pint of Coors. what a waste

it was a pint of coors light.

The week before i got 1ltr of vodka&1 ltr of captain Morgans in Dublin airport for 20 euro,that puts things in perspective.

Ahh Captain Morgan, my dear dear friend,we had a great evening on saturday, you've become very popular lately.

Ahh most excellent mixing up Burger King with Guinness I was. With the price of drink in places nowadays, they should ALL be whopper but some places still unfortunately take their customers for granted even in this age of the ever decreasing patrons.

What you asking me for??

I dont know, you ordered it and walked away!!

If your that confused then maybe you are a woman??

rugbug86 · 20-12-2011 01:47PM

What time was it at? The Ivy House increase their prices after 12.

Also, I drink Coors, but if I'm in the Ivy tis Hoegaarden all the way, and IIRC it's under €5 a pint.

For value ya can't bate the €16 for a bowl of wings and a pitcher, however the wings have taken a slight downturn of late.

Still a good spot to watch a match though.
