    One establishment in Quay St is named here, they claim that there were two others charging similar before the races even started .

    Ye may think the bookies are out to get ye but keep a VERY close eye on your wallet after midnight in lots of the late driking / bar extension gaffs which may not normally charge more than €5 or €5.50 a pint.

    I don't see a problem in this. Once they advertise the price of their pint.

    At the end of the day they are running a business and as a business if they weren't trying to maximise profits during race week I'd be a little concerned.

    I'm sure they've plenty of overheads which have increased during race week.

    6 euro is alot for a pint, but I agree as long as they have it advertised (and it's not complete muck) then I don't have too much of an issue with it. More race courses need pint bottles of bulmers - not silly long necks.

    Well some muppets have more money than sense...
    6 is a rip off ..just head down to harvest get a few cans and drink on the streets :D
    most people won't fit in the pubs anyway and pile out onto the streets ..

    €6 is taking the piss alright....but if you don't pay it then you're on the dry. I got a 14/1 winner last night so i'm still in the black at the moment. Anyone heard anything for tonight ?
