    Did your pub not learn the first time? Beamish and guiness is not the same... simple as.

    So you would pay the premium to drink Guinness?

    Pub owners, the rip-off days are over.

    Drop your prices or bye bye. :cool:

    A certain bar I frequent does €2.90 pints up until 9pm whenn they're kicked up to €4.80 or so. They'd hardly make a loss for 6 or 7 hours so I figure €3 would be a pretty fair price. At minimum wage that's about 1 hour getting you 2.5 pints. That seems a damn sight better than what it is now.

    They'd have to really be in the back-arse of nowhere to be charging that little. In my local (in a quite Wexford village) they used to charge €3.90 for a pint, it's now €4. In Wexford town it's gone up to €5 for a pint.

    I wouldn't pay that price in Carrick on Shannon or Wexford.(the more expensive pint)

    I blame Dublin.I guarantee the majority of publicans seek to make a small profit.I would actively encourage people to not enter the industry as it is soul destroying.People stab you in the back,make up lies.I was recently told tht I had told punters that the owner had taken their picture off the wall when in reality the person who said it first had robbed it about 2 weeks before but I kept quiet as I didnt wanna cause any disharnmony.

    In all honestly, you would get fairer values outside the city centre.

    Safe enough in that regard. Bar at front is small and full of 'locals', the dining area closeby is comfortable and modern.

    I also blame that there is no in bulk slosh drink in Dublin.

    You dont have a drink like Carling that is borderline piss but is bought in such bulk that it can be cheap in every pub.

    THe closest we have is Guinness which is pretty much the opposite.

    If I had the money. i f would open a bar in city centre dublin charging 3.80 for a pint of stout and 4.30 for a pint of Lager(Bud,Ken,Carlsberg) and I probably not make much money but I would show that pubs in the city centre are ripping ye off.It's only because ye accept it that it happens.
    The pubs in the city centre are so money-centric that it is unbelievable that people will accept their prices.Come on guys,fcuk the trendy places,just look for value.

    A pretty substantial mortgage(in the region of hundreds of thousands) but we don't want to rip off customers as they are the ones who help us survive.:)

    Anyone know why I can buy a drinkable bottle of wine in Spain/Portugal for a euro or under. Or buy a (drinkable) glass of wine for 20-30 cent there.

    Why can I buy very good local beer abroad for F-all. I currently drink a lager for the equivalent of 1 euro 20 cent and its great stuff.

    And yes there is Guinness/heineken etc here. A guinness costs the equivalent of 7 euro here and heineken/budweiser/etc isn't that much cheaper.

    Why are our alcohol prices like this ? Look at the prices in other EU countries and Asia.

    I am never going to pay the prices quoted here for a pint of Guinness, I love Guinness but those prices are beyond crazy.
