BOF Posted October 8, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2010 That's what I love about England Prices are ridiculous for the right reasons. But tbf to Dublin, our prices are more representative of European capital cities. Certainly the ones I've been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 That's the one thing I don't like about Dublin, the prices of drinks are absolutely chuffing ridiculous. yeah i have heard this too mart! i think im gonna buy a few bottles from duty free as it will save us some serious money it seems! sounds fun times though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 To be fair we have a very good selection of beers on offer in Dublin. In the uk it's cheaper but you're stuck drinking the shame shit all the time. You have bars with twenty different beers on tap over here and then a huge selection of large bottles. It's great. But still it's expensive, though prices are coming down in many bars, harbor master in ifsc is €4 a beer, O'Reillys is €3.60 which is equally to just over £3. Guinness is €4.10 in (£3.50) most places I drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I've never understood why Guinness in Dublin is so much more expensive than just about anywhere else on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've drunk in bars all over the world, and there are good pubs with a good selection of beers, and crap ones who don't, Dublin isn't any different to anywhere else. I was in a pub in Wigan last week, which is hardly the most cosmopolitan place on earth, but it must have had about 8 real ales on tap, plus a large selction of lager on tap and in bottles, plus a huge slection of whisk(e)ys.

BOF Posted October 8, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2010 Sorry Risso but while I'm sure there are pubs in England with a good selection, there are far more that don't. I've often found myself having to suffer Tuborg or Stella or some local stuff. I think our tastes are very different too. You guys are big into ales and bitters over there. Which is probably part of our problem - because those tend to take up the majority of the taps and we're just not that into it. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, every bar in dublin will have heineken, coors, carlsberg, guinness, miller, bud, bulmers and smithwicks, with stella, paulaner and staropramen in most pubs too. Then the selection of bottled beers is huge too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get all the shite that you mention like Carlsberg, Stella, Heineken and the like, but also some lovingly crafted local beers which you just wouldn't get in Ireland.
