Most expensive pint in Dublin at the moment?

I know Dakota is pretty pricey. €5.50 for a pint of Coors.

Not when there's loads of pubs in the vicinity doing prices for practically half that (O Reillys under Tara station springs to mind).

Was in Pygmalion. It is a 10 euro cover charge and then pints are 6.10; Kind of expensive to say the least.

Went there some weeks ago. Tried to charge me the tenner at 5pm! :eek: Feck off!

Hairy Lemon is kind of expensive too. Pint of Carlsberg about €6 iirc.

O'Reillys ftw

As bad as Dublin is, London is far worse. You'd want to be minted to be heading out there.

The place we were in had 'half-price' drinks up to 8pm. Half-price was €4.10. I bought four bottles of Bulmers and left them on my table for the next hour and a half.

Full price was €8.20 or so.

I was in the Ballsbridge Hotel recently and it's €5.50 for a pint of Bulmers in there. It's piss. Such a pity that nowhere seems to do Strongbow - a far nicer cider.

Door staff at the Hairy Lemon are consistently **** in my experience.

That's got nothing to do with the price of a pint in the place. Lets stay on topic.

Suppose they have to pay for their five acts per day. But the most shocking thing is. A pint of harp

If you're paying €8.20 for a pint in London, you're not going to the right places.

Probably not but I was only there for one night and we were bang in the middle of the city centre.

I'd say 4 to 4.50 pounds would be standard enough in London. A bit less if you drink ale.

Jimmy - google Sam Smith's pubs. There are loads of them, independent brewers, all in central London for cheapish pints, around £3.25 or so. These are the places I visit for a recession session.

Sorry, not Dublin I know, but always nice to pass on a thrifty tip.

Not a pint but I saw a 650ml bottle of beer for €28 on Friday! Must be some beer!

Really depends on the place in my experience. Although I once paid £8 for a Guinness. Couldn't believe it when I counted the change afterwards. Same bar was only £4 for a pint of lager.

Farringtons temple bar. Complete rip off. I remember being charged 7 euro for a pnt bottle of bulmers about 4 years ago

Barna77

The one in the corner right across Temple Bar pub, they charged me the regular price of pint of Bulmers for a glass that was something between a half pint and a full pint. When I complained waitress answered it was the only size glass they had.
Needless to say never been back.

On the topic of London, I've always paid quite reasonable prices there, even in central London. Last time though went a bit off the rails and paid £11 for a g&t....

I can beat that. Same place, more expensive! WTF?

€6.80 for a pint of Heineken - €6.90 for a pint bottle of Bulmers. Madness.



I regret offering to buy a round when we were only going for one before heading home after dinner! In fairness that place is 100% designed for tourists so no surprise really.

I've been in a few places round Leicester Square which charge in that price bracket. But the massive difference between London and Dublin is that even in Leicester Square you're only a few yards away from somewhere where a pint will be way less than half that price. It's very easy to find cheap food and drink in London any time of any day of the week. Dublin - not so much.

It is what it is. I quite like Gogartys despite the price. Usually great craic. It's paying €6+ a beer in a mediocre place with no atmosphere that I object to. Plus paying for spirits & mixers anywhere in this town. Buy a couple of rounds of rum & coke in Gogartys and you're really going to be burning through the notes.

€5.35 each for Heinekin Carlsberg & Erdinger in Hogans Georges St last night, found that a bit of a random price

SimonQuinlank

Globe/Ri Ra just up the road from Hogans does pints of Becks for €4.20 and usually has a spirit/mixer special for €5.Less cramped then Hogan's too!
