Just a quick one folks, just wondering what the price of drink is like? i've heard its cheap as chips in the supermarkets but I want to know about the bars/ nightclubs..just want to budget how much to bring...was thinking 1400 for 2 weeks boozin?

Sounds plenty. When we were there about 3 years ago, drinks were about 50-70% of Dublin prices in tourist bars (you will do better in bars designed for locals, but without the "atmosphere"), but off-licence prices were quite a bit less.

Thats LOADS - drink is very cheap in the supermarkets - they have their own brand of beer in the bars - think its called Tropical - is fairly nice, shots are about 2 euro or thereabouts - depends where ye go really. But 1400 is plenty.

I think it was about 2 euro or 2.50 for a pint of that Tropical.

uuggghhh!!! hate that feckin stuff, and gives ya a thumping headache the next
day..

Amstel is fairly cheap over there and its good enough quality beer..

Once you stay away from the more popular brands found here in ireland like
heineken, carlsberg, budweiser and the irish beers they you wont be paying too
much.. but even so as the lads said its all much cheaper than over here...

In fact Id say the most you would need per night is about €60-€80 and thats drinking
everything ya can get yer hands on... plus buying everyone around ya a drink..

€1400 is plenty and you should come home with change from it..

stuff and the next day I was dying.. :dunno:

I was drinking Carlsberg in a couple of bars in Peurto Rico and it was around €2.50 for a Glass which was slightly smaller than a pint. Still great price compared to here. Bottles of Miller were €2.50 too.

1400 is enough, it's no more than 2.50 for two pints of tropical you get double drinks everywhere even if you only want one
