Cheap or less rip off pints

    It's much cheaper generally to skip over the river and have a pint northside, couple of nice pubs around the Capel/Jervis/Liffey area. I'd recommend The Gin palace, TP smiths, the boars head etc... Plenty of other nice spots too, wander around and you. Another favourite of mine is The Oval. All the ones that I mentioned are more or less 5 min walk from Temple Bar, just across the bridge ;)

    TP Smith's is a rip off hole with weird staff

    Jack Nealon's on Capel Street is a lovely boozer and €4.50 for Guinness. Can't go wrong with that.

    Lord Edward too is under a fiver. Might be €4.70ish.

    I got a pint of lager (Coors) for a fiver in Stoutman's pub in James Street recently. Nice pub with a good local feel near Guinness Brewery.

    Classic case of getting what you pay for.

    Tuborg is as good a beer as any of the other fizzy yellow lagers sold in an average pub.

    Very much agree. I'm 99% sure I was served watered vodka in there a couple of years ago.

    It's weird how someone at Diageo just decided that Carlsberg would be the premium one and Tuborg would be the cheapie. That distinction doesn't exist in Denmark, or anywhere else.

    I think Lord Edwards was €4.80 for Guinness until about 5 months ago, then the price went up again to €5. Sub €5 pints are becoming a very rare beast in town !

    A pitcher of JD and coke for 13e... unlucky for some!

    And Jack Nealon's is 100% not €4:50, I was charged over a fiver in there recently enough

    I was last there in mid December and it 100% was. May have gone up but that'd be quite the jump. Yikes!

    The entity occupying Nealons building now is not what anyone who used to drink where would recognise as Nealons either. More than half of the, eh, 'feeling' is probably the best term for it, of a pub is the staff and far less of is the physical environment. Can have a lovely Victorian bar but with staff that don't even know where the taps are (as they currently have) and you may as well be drinking in the Airport.

    All of the pre-changeover staff are gone. There was one less than friendly one prior to the changeover which may be who you are referring to but the rest are a loss.

    No, this guy was post-changeover. And there was another one serving us last year that was drinker than us!

    Does Jack Nealons still get the overflow from Panti Bar? Last time I was in there a few years back it felt like a full on gay bar which I presume was cause Panti Bar is often jammed tight and cant let anymore in

    To some extent; Pantibar is opening a second pub on Great Strand Street which may just leave Nealons with the bears like it used to have.

    Thats interesting about Panti-Bar expanding. No surprise as it is always packed anytime I pass by.

    Not sure if mentioned but Fitzgeralds at O'Connell Bridge/Aston Quay have pints for 4.50. Can't remember what beer it was but its on their blackboard outside. Haven't been in there in at least 10 years, did it ever get a renovation? Doesn't look like it from the outside.

    The price has been going up over the years, I don't think they're that price anymore. They went up to €3.80 at some point, then €4, think they're at about €4.50 now. The €3.60 days were great while they lasted though!

    They should update their website

    Pantibar on weeknights do draught pints for €4.90. That’s pretty darn good!:)

    As said I'd be unsure if they're updated. I do remember in 2012/13 they did 2quid large bottles of Kopparberg. Pity I didn't drink cider!

    Some pints were in the 2.50 range and maybe 3quid Heineken. The recession was bad for many things, but not for the cut throat deals to be had!

    Nealons definitely does on Friday or Saturday nights ( I was there this past Friday and it does become a de-facto gay bar from about 9pm both nights but is never in your face gay - ie Lady Gaga or Kylie isn't blaring from the speakers) but the occasional time I've gone there during the week or early evenings during the weekend and it just comes across like any other straight bar. I've never encountered any poor service there, either pre or post ownership takeover.

    A packed Pantibar is one reason but some punters want to be able to hear themselves talk and that can't happen after 9pm in Pantibar when the music is blaring.
