  Pint Heineken - £11-45p. FFS. Blame the silleek hunts for paying that price. |

I'd order the drinks, when they come, ask for the bill, say I'm not paying that, see you in Cork.

I am going to Dublin for a few days in June, I will pop in and and have a look at the Temple bar without buying a drink.

And tonight, and tomorrow night, every night, it's full of tourists, sold on this idea that it's the happening place to be. Tourists are easy prey wherever they go and businesses know they are dealing with the one off tourist, who most likely isn't returning.
More savvy travellers to Dublin check out in advance where the locals drink, and it isn't there. |

Alcohol and gambling do not mix. I'm surprised a ban or at least alcohol is banned on the track and the stands.

Temple Bar is a tourist trap - that being said, it's worth experiencing once and they often have good live music on.

What is a baby guiness? and he had 6 of them....
 Still the pint price shows it is clearly a joke - over 11 for a pint of that - could buy about 12 cans for same price. |

@stu - "Baby Guinness" is Tia Maria and Bailey's. It's pretty horrible unless you have a very sweet tooth.

Blimey I suppose one would get similarly ripped off if buying a beer near St Pauls in London or Notre Dame in Paris. About 25 years on a stag do in Dublin we ended up in a bar in Temple Bar called The Left Bank if memory serves me right and don't remember it being particularly overpriced. I do remember who well organised it was despite being very busy; a slight wave of the hand to a member of staff using BT headsets and another round arrived very quickly.

" I suppose one would get similarly ripped off if buying a beer near St Pauls in London" Depends what you mean by ripped-off. Standard Central London / City prices - £6.50 or £7 a pint. (I still have friends from my days in the finance industry who work locally, so it's one of the areas I have a pint or two in fairly frequently). |

baby guinness is orrible. whoever came up with that revolting rip-off deserves a medal. and why does guinness allow them to call it that?
you expect to pay a premium in well-known popular places but temple bar aint that clever and cant justify that- the gp on these things is enormous already. i dont think most people relaise how big italy is fabulously expensive for sherbet. sitting next to the leaning tower was so much we laughed and gave them a shock by having a boatload at sky-high prices and then spoofed for the bill. italians will get one beer and 4 straws so they can share it. not joking |
|
By:
almost all pubs in central london are rubbish and a disappointment to touurists
i dont go any more but used to love diving into a subterranean wine bar. few tourist did and they are fab. cool, quiet and not a get-up. and proper sherbet |

The French franc bill, including service, was £90 quid. |

Courchevel 1850, I remember a holiday there about 10 years ago at lunch time halfway up a mountain four of us had omelettes or Spag Bol, a couple of plates of French fries and four small beers and it was about €75...
