Dublin: How much does beer cost?

A friend of a friend went to Dublin (Ireland) and went into several pubs. He bought two pints of Guinness and was charged €20 - twenty Euros.

Wherever he went in Dublin he said it was pretty similar. Did they see him coming? I know Guinness can be a bit more expensive than ordinary bitter or lager - but this seems a bit excessive.

Is it because he was right in the centre of town? Is it because it was late in the evening? . . .or is it because tourists get ripped off?

If you are from Dublin, or you visit frequently, can you comment, please?

How much have you paid recently for different beer type drinks?

"Guaranteed Irish" your answer depends on a website that was last updated in 2006!

E6 max for a pint of Guinness and that's in the more touristy places, Temple Bar etc.. Im from Dublin and have lived here most of my life. No way on this earth did your friend pay E20 for two pints of Guinness. I know Dublin can be pretty expensive, but that's just exaggerating. I live beside Christchurch in Central Dublin and its E4.50 a pint in my local. I go drinking in town every weekend, and even to temple bar now and then and as I said E6 max, and even at that, personally, I wouldn't pay over E5 for a pint, madness

In regards to been ripped off because of being a tourist, I would also doubt this. Every pub under law must display a price list (usually at the front door) so they can't charge any more than whats on the list, also nearly all pubs in town give receipts so they would have to have been charged the normal regular price, which as I said would even in the most extreme cases not be in excess of E6

Jesus where did he go? that's insane.

Beer in Ireland does not cost 10-15, not even Guinness, where are you drinking?!

On average booze is like 6 quid.

K. My 2 sons are Guinness drinkers and live in Doobla,I just texted them
to ask.

Boy was he ripped off! €5.00 a pint is the norm.
I texted them seperately and the answer was the same frrom both,around the €5 mark.

Your friend is either lying or he was taken, big time. There is NO WAY a pint of guinness is €10, the max I was ever charged for a pint was €6.50, but then again it was after midnight and i was in late bar in Temple bar. Normal pubs that only stay open to near 12 would charge €4.50 - €5.00 a pint. A pub must display a price lists, and they are required to give all customers a receipt. I

the most I was ever charged for a drink was for a glass of wine, in a wine bar, some glasses where nearly €10 a glass, or €13.00 for a cocktail. Needless to say i never went back to those bars,


Bob The Fish
naa your friend is having a bubble bath! most of the bars are charging between 4.50 and 6.00 euros.this is on temple bar and batchelors walk.

I know booze is more expensive in Ireland than the UK....but Guinness isn't that expensive...lol

The problem is alot of places in the city centre will charge more....
I live in dublin and had family come over from the uk....
We went to temple bar and got 2 pints of bud and i came to 12euro...that the last time am going in there!!!
Where i live (right next to the airport) a pint would cost you between 4-6 euro....


Orla C
That is excessive, even for Dublin. Was he in nightclub or a city centre pub? They tend to pull those kinds of stunts.

One reason when I go to Dublin, I buy beer and wine at an off-licence and go and prepare a nice dinner in a friend's house.


Xawz
dumb ?


Guaranteed Irish!!!
should give you good idea of price

foraq123
About 6-7 quid. Depends where.

Some clubs do specials.
eg. QBar do 2.99 drinks on mondays and Fibbers do 3 euro drinks on Thursdays


spar
10-15 euro it so bad they needed to change it its because the pound is the same as the euro its better to be payed in euros you get more money
