    That's called a 'cartel'. So the publican is encouraging you to drink more than, perhaps, you want to drink during the week by introducing a special offer of three pints or a tenner.
    Walk away,.


    Ehhhhhhhh no. Thats not a cartel... A cartel (in the pub trade) is where a few pubs get together and set their prices to the same level, usually a high price.

    So many pubs might open at 5pm and put up prices at 7pm, this is like bars still allowed put up the price at 11.30 to cover late pub licence fees and "out of hour wages".
    would that not cause problems because of them being legally required to display prices outside the door? Lets say they charged the €4.50 on the display for a pint of whatever, and then tried charge a fiver later, they'd be putting themselves in the firing line.

    If the bar has a policy of increasing prices after a certain time (for instance, after 11pm), the prices on display should be those being charged at that time.

    I wonder if all pubs do this?

    Brussels prices July 2011

    Much more price dispersion than Ireland.

    25cl of pils

    As high as 2.50 = 5.68 per pint of Diekich pils in Au Bon Vieux Temps

    But in nearby A l'Imaige Nostre Dame, it's 1.60 for 25cl of Jupiler pils = 3.64 per pint

    Amsterdam prices, July 2011

    We paid about 2.00-2.40 in several pubs along Utrectestraat.

    I'm not sure if the glass had 25cl or 30cl.

    Assuming 30cl, then the prices are about 4.17 per pint

    Pints are a rip off in this country.

    I drink Paulaner so don't mind paying a little more but over 4.80(still very expensive) is ridiculous and happens frequently.

    Bottles are worse - €6 for a bottle of desperados in a well known Limerick nightclub.

    North of England is the place to go for drink. Liverpool and Newcastle are only about £2.30 a pint! Albeit the pints may not be as good, still though!
