    Be warned..... I know times are hard but.....Keelings bar in Donabate has bought a consignment of cheap 275ml Coors Light somewhere (more than likely The North were you can buy 15 of these bottles for £9) . They are charging the full price of €4.90 for these bottles , which is the price normally charged for a regular 330ml "Irish" bottle. Robbing gits....:mad:

    That's bad form, if true, and I'd hazard a guess that it might be illegal...if true.

    Head up to Smyths - always a better pub!

    I agree. Smyth's is a proper decent pub.

    yeah but the pricing list at the entrance will have the quantity you get for that price, and more than likely still says 330ml

    If it does, ask for the other 55ml's in a glass! If they refuse, tell them you want a refund, and then report them :D

    I doubt it is listed, they do not have to list every drink.

    If you are buying longnecks you are being ripped off anyway, with only yourself to blame.

    275ml for €4.90 is €10.12 a pint. Even if it was 330ml it is €8.43 per pint. I can never understand why anybody pays that much for a drink.

    It would also be illegal if they paid cash for it up North and did not declare the items as turnover when selling. But I am sure they would not do that.
