    Exactly! Why would you even go Temple Bar unless you're a tourist?

    Eh, to chat up easy American chicks. . . :confused:

    I thought as much, but surely that comes at a price?

    Ah yeah, you'd only have 2 and then show them some good Dublin spots. Those were the days. . . :D

    if you go to the UK be sure to check out The Knights Templar in London, amazing medieval style stone decoration in the bathroom

    I assume you mean the ladies toilets there?
    If not, ask the staff if you can have a look in there, it's even better than the mens!

    This is going to seem a stupid question but why go to Temple Bar at all if you are sick of paying €7 for a beer? Why not go elsewhere like Wicklow Street or Georges Street or Camden Street?


    Me and my friends have been drinking there for years. If your going out for the weekend in Dublin temple bar is the place to be.

    Places like Thomas Read, downstairs, was always pretty reasonably priced (for where it was situated) from what I can recall. Haven't been down that neck of the woods in a long time though.

    My experiences can be summed up thus:

    Me: HI!!!!
    her: WHAT?!?
    Me: I SAID HI!
    her: LIKE, HUH?
    Me: Christ, I need a drink.

    It's a dump for people who don't know any better and have no taste in beer (or sexual partners.)

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    There once was a mythical place there, with an amazing array of craft beer.

    Alas, they sold their soul to Macro and free kegs.

    That was a very good reason to go to TB.

    Now, there is no attraction at all.

    Porterhouse TB is well worth a visit.

    Work has finally started on the Newport site in Paul St in Cork.

    The shoe shop next store was lodging frivolous complaints but I'm glad to see its finally cleared up. That building has been an eye sore for too long.

    Given that JD WS can sell UK cask at 2.50 per pint, then all Irish pubs attempts at selling cask ale at a reasonable price will clearly fail.

    5.00 I would accept.

    But 6.00 is too high.

    6 (six) Euro. Wow. For that money it has to be the most delicious ale ever served. Ah wait this is a Dublin pub...

    as a strickly "ale cask" drinker i get mixed quality
    I suppose this is because of the lack of experience relating to anything cask here

    As for Customer Service Mulligans beats weatherspoons easily, you get the feeling your very welcome.... ive been served a pint in spoons without the spotty faced barboy saying a word to me, 1 bargirl slammed the pint so hard other customers look in amusement.

    product quality ive been served vinegar casks in both.....weatherspoon blamed their long supply chain back to the UK..mulligans just took the cask offline told me it was too old.
    ive np once they all learn

    From what I've seen in the three tun the criteria seem to include a permanent state of apathy and bewilderment.

    Nice - shame it's not in the city centre but maybe an option. Passed the Beer Market the other night and looked busy. Can only hope they have a few casks on there.
