    Howiya everyone,

    I'm no longer living in Dublin so don't go out there very much any more. Anyway I was in Sweeneys on Dame Street there last weekend and a pint of any 'branded' beer as opposed to their own brew was €5.50. Is this a new price or has it gone up? I could have sworn it used to be at least a euro cheaper there back in April/May of 2012. It seems an awful lot for a single pint.

    Maybe they just put up the price, because it was the weekend?

    There's an idea for a thread in here; price of a pint in Dublin? It'd be cool to have a little database of prices.

    Harbourmaster in IFSC have one of my favourite beers; Blue Moon on offer @ €3.50 a pint this month. Its €4.20 a pint in there for the usuals on a Friday. Bleeding Horse have Tiger for €4 a pint at the moment, Everleigh Gardens have Tiger for €4 a pint on a Thursday.

    I agree.

    The website dublinpubscene.com used to do this but they seem to have disappeared. Pity, it was a very useful site with a huge database of pubs.

    Cheers,

    Seems like publin.ie needs to work on their pub-li-city.

    Publin have a twitter page it's usually good to promote the offers in bars and clubs.

    Paying over €5 for a mass produced beer in Dublin feels so wrong.

    How much of the price of a pint goes to taxes?

    I am happy to pay more for an Irish craft brew (always choose it over the name brands) or a unique import. I am more likely to buy another pint in a pub as opposed to moving on to someplace else when the price seems fair.

    I like the way the Bull & Castle post their pint prices for everyone to see with specials on some. That leads to fewer surprises and better decision making.
