Going back to the topic at hand, I've noticed a few more pubs have dropped their prices. Mulligans have a pint of Guinness now at €4.45. Apparently Molloy's on Talbot street has Guinness at €3.80.

Was at a birthday party in Russell court hotel in D2 on Stephens night,
€6 for a pint of mingin Coors (although my receipts kept saying Bulmers???)
and €3.30 for small bottle of fanta or 7up!
I'm not a pub owner, but come on lads? Must be some mark up on the soft drinks alone!

as an aside i was in a pub in playa del rocha in portugal 3 weeks ago.... got a pint of guinness, glass of wine, southern comfort with dash of coke and vodka and coke..... for 8.50euro... i couldnt belive it.... now I know different country and all that but it goes to show how much ireland has priced itself out of the equation for tourists..

That is still rip off Ireland. You can get quality pints of London Pride in Central London, Mayfair for about €3 any time.

I would say you were overcharged, or someone behind bar is pocketing in the quiet

I was in the Leopardstown Inn after the races on St. Stephens Day. There was 10 of us and we got seats and ordered beers with a view to ordering food later on. The beers seemed a lot dearer than normal. It is normally about €4.65ish for a Guinness and it wasn't just the Guinness that seemed more expensive, it was every drink. When I questioned this, the Lounge girl embarrasinglytold me that they had put €1 extra on to a drink, when I asked why she said that I should speak to the management. So I did. I was told that €1 extra was put on to the price of a drink and the food (so your normally €25 steak was now €26). The explanation given to me was that it was to cover the cost of extra staff being brought in for the Christmas period. That doesn't add up, surely if they are expecting extra business over the Christmas period, the extra revenue made should cover the extra cost of staff? Arrogant [EMAIL="b@$tards"]b@$tards[/EMAIL]! When I asked the Bar Manager why they hadn't put up a poster clearly stating what they were doing so customers could make an informed decision - he said "Do you think we are stupid??!!!" Not even the locals knew about the increase until they were hit with it.

I will never set foot inside the Leopardstown Inn again.

Did they not have the price list clearly up inside the pub? if not you could report them.

the list should be

(a) immediately outside or immediately inside each entrance to the premises open to the public where the whole of the premises is used for the purpose of selling liquor by retail for consumption on the premises and the same price is charged in all parts of the premises per quantity, measure or unit of each of the beverages;


(b) immediately outside or inside each entrance to each such part of the premises which is open to the public where the whole of the premises is used for the purpose of selling liquor by retail for consumption on the premises and different prices are charged in different parts of the premises per quantity, measure or unit of one or more of the beverages;


(c) immediately outside or immediately inside each entrance to the part of the premises used for the purpose of selling liquor by retail where only part of the premises is used for the purpose of selling liquor by retail for consumption on the premises.

I have never seen, nor would I ever expect any pub, restaurant, or any retail shop to have big posters advertising the fact they have put up prices. I have to agree he would be stupid to have done it.

Graces Naas new years eve.

Ordered 1 redbull and 2 double vodkas.

The bill? €31 :eek:

Broken down into (as per receipt)

4 * Vodkas @€;5 each
2 * Red Bull @ €5.50 each

I neither ordered, not got the second red bull.

Asking the barman, he mentioned "prices go up after midnight"

How did i miss it with all those OBVIOUS signs...

I was in Dakota just after the budget. The pints had not been reduced it was €5.30 Carlsberg. When I asked why not I was told that they couldn't make the change to the computer tills until next Monday.

I was in there again on Saturday 02/01/10 . The pints still have not been reduced. I asked why not I was told that they were not been reduced.

The owner had no plans too.

The Barman was not happy with my questions but f**k them .... as this is a joke. The government might aswell slap the excise back on and get the money off these bast&&d publicans.

I would not be surprised if thats in other countries too. You can get a bottle of skyy vodka for €15 in tesco at the moment, last time I was in fillies in leopardstown racecourse I think it was €8 or €8.50 for a single shot of it. A 700ml bottle has just under 20 shots in it, so it is over 10 times the price in fillies.

So the shot is about 75cent in a supermarket, I doubt you will get a can of redbull for that in a supermarket. Vodka is readily available for under €20 a bottle now. So working on the same markups it actually makes sense to have to pay more for the redbull, this really just exposes the overpricing of both spirits & mixers in pubs though. I think people are mad who buy spirits in pubs.

What is even crazier is the "macho men" who think if they are drinking soft drinks they have to drink it by the pint or else they are a nancyboy, so they are paying €6 for a pint of coke, yet would not drink it in pints in their own house.

If you check for promotions online before you go out in Dublin city you'll get a pint for 3/3.50 euro no bother. People who knowingly go into a bar and pay over 5quid for a pint or bottle are the reason we are in the mess we are in!
