    Holy crap, those wetherspoon prices are outstanding. Makes a mockery of what people are charging in other (smaller) chain pubs.

    €5.50 for a pint of Bulmer in sober lane and €5.20 for Heineken it's just a disgrace there is no need to charge so much.

    The end is nigh though, Wetherspoon released there revised Irish prices today, the publicans here will be shaking.

    2.50 for all long neck bottles, 2.95 for pint of Heineken, craft long neck 3.00, pint Murphys or fosters 2.50.
    Pint bottles of erdinger for 2.95! That's cheaper than the off licence.

    No Bulmer or guiness the only downside.

    Wow very good prices

    I was in the woolshed on Thursday and it was 5.10 I think for a pint of Carlsberg.

    Ya couldn't believe it when I read it. Go onto their site and download the menu the prices they are charging for quality beers is amazing, so much choice too.

    There is absolutely no reason a pint should be more than €5 in Cork. The reason its so expensive in Sober Lane is Ernest Cantillon is probably trying to recoup some of the costs of setting up in Dublin.

    A pint of Heineken in Sober Lane D4 is 5.20 which is cheap for the area of Dublin.

    The pizza pitcher seal in Sober Lane is now €23 as well. The bargain side of that is long gone.

    Will they though? Wetherspoons, for all their great prices, are dull as all hell. Generally there is no music, no TV or anything entertainment wise.

    Horses for courses. It's fine for a cheap bite and a pint in the middle of the day or on the way to a night on the town. I wouldn't stay there all night though, just like you wouldn't hang around an empty or near empty nightclub or late bar before it gets going.

    No harm for a shake up, considering what passes for 'food' in some bars around town....

    The one I was last in, in the UK was wall to wall bloody TV's. It was sport-central (which I hate).

    It'll be interesting alright to see how it goes.

    I had a look at their irish website there.
    They've Heineken and the like down as 4.75 in their booklet yet its 2.95 in their menu. Same as the craft beers. Something is amiss.

    The cut their prices big time recently last weekend I think. It will be interesting to see what impact they will have on prices here in the short term. The price mentioned in Crane Lane above seems very hard to justify.

    http://www.jdwetherspoon.ie/pdf/irish_menu.pdf It makes for sobering reading:D

    They didn't even need to go that cheap, but they seem intent on shaking up the Irish market.

    Are wetherspoons really going to charge a euro less than other pubs which they are competing with? I don't think so. I would be surprised if they were any more than 30 cent cheaper. Max 50 cent.

    Well boy was I WRONG there :eek:

    I honestly can't see the sense behind that much of a drop in price though.

    Id imagine they wont last long. Such prices are gaining massive publicity which is great advertising for Weatherspoons. Prices will probably go up once they have opened a few more chains in Ireland.

    Not to mention the "down with this sort of thing" do gooders will be out in force accusing them of all sorts of nonsense.

    It was supposed to be open for Christmas, but I think they ran into a small bit of planning trouble as in they were changing the structure of the place more than they had planned/disclosed.

    It will probably be Spring at this stage.

    "We will need to wait on the Council once they have received the information, but if all is approved we would expect the pub to open in February 2015."
