Grogan's on South William Street isn't too expensive. And you can get toasted sandwiches there too!

With Dublin its going to be pricey no matter where you go. Id second Grogan's though.

Kennedys of Westland Row and Anseo on Camden Street at decent too.

Sin É is €3 a Guinness pint all day Sunday and Mondays - it's on Ormond Quay, beside the old Ormond Hotel at the bottom of Capel Street.

Good for the tunes on nights as well - retro jazz, salsa

What do you expect for 3.50 a pint?

The gingerman on fenian st.(?) does pitchers of their own beer, which weren't too expensive iirc.

The Boardwalk- 6 dutchgold 7quid.....
Seriously though, the pav in the grounds of trinity is cheap, although it is better in nice weather when you can sit out

MementoMori

I think the Purty Kitchen in Temple Bar has very good drink deals before 8pm during the week - could well be worth checking out

Would also recommend Sin E - they also do grub

Are you from Dublin Faceman? Are these misconceptions made by Dubliners or people that are not from Dublin?

There was a restaurant thread a while ago, a lot of people were under the assumption that all restaurants were expensive. Of course, they were put right.

The Shakesphere on Parnell St does €9 pitchers.....dump too but hey!!!

Woolshed does pitchers

This thread is about cheap pubs not restaurants. Any suggestions so?

Molloys on Talbot street. Fantastic pub, never that packed, excellent barmen, good prices.

There has been lots and lots of suggestions. Seems your wrong!

It wasn't a personal attack at all faceman. I am just wondering where you get the idea that you can't get a cheap pint in Dublin when clearly you can. Do you read it in newspapers, do you go out much in the city, do you feel ripped off?

I am in the city every weekend and sometimes during the week. Fair enough, there are expensive joints, but you can get cheap, decent places all over the city.

another vote for karma here, i love that place (and their prices)

Actually, if you find any pub that serves Beamish you'll get cheap pints really!

The Restaurant Royale in Upper Stephen Street - a most unusual little place. (I think the pints are €3).

The Bernard Shaw does pitchers of Erdinger for 5.50, bargain in my books!

Excuse my ignorance but how many pints are in a pitcher?

the boss of me

"The Cobblestone" on Nth King St in Smithfield is a great little pub. It looks like the building should be condemned from the outside but don't be put off by the exterior.
It's a very friendly pub with good trad music,great pints and a nice mix of people. I don't know exactly how much a pint costs, but I do remember commenting about how cheap it was.

That's a serious understatement, it's full of quare-hawks! Opens at 7 in the morning too I believe!

And another one from me - was there just last night. It was very quiet too so the more people go, the more likely they'll be able to stay in business and give us these cheap drinks! Also has reasonably priced pub-grub too.

I think the Royale finishes very early though - about 7:30pm? Can anyone confirm this?
