A friend of mine is on holiday in Dublin. She's in a bar in Temple Bar and has just bought two double Southern Comfort & lemonades, and two bottled beers.
Have a guess as to what the bill came to?
20 euro
€30?
€67.75
€22.60
Twelevty
$5
£38
€33.28
46.3 euros
£16 to £20 max ... whatever € that is. 😆

All of it, Ireland is an expensive country, Temple Bar area is notorious for 'tourist prices' it's a full house of walletache.
Tell him it's all about the experience and to enjoy the craic - which I assume is what bar owners do every night craic up at what tourists will pay.
Saying that, I'm told Hipster spec IPA has hit £14 a pint in London.
Cheaper to get off your nut on coke these days
£16 to £20 max ... whatever € that is
I had to dig out my calculator, but I've worked out that's about €16 to €20...
40 euro

Her virginity?

As far as I can tell "craft beer" is just an excuse to sell mediocre beer at twice the price in half the quantity. On my stag do I got stung for almost that much when I naively ordered a pint of Nelly's Wet Growler or some such pretentious twaddle, and that was in Manchester. "Yeah, we usually sell it in thirds," the barman told me after he'd poured it.
Her virginity?
Nah, it wasn't that cheap.
4 gold doubloons?

Crikey £14 for a pint! 😯
They really see people coming ... 😆
24 euro?
I'm going to pop out for a bit. I'll let this run for an hour-ish and then post up a copy of the bill.

That would have to be specially imported, should have just stuck to what the locals drink, blended penguins.

A bunch of us were drinking in Shoreditch last week. The prices in one pub - poss up Bethnal Green Rd - were mental. Several beers were over £15 a pint or bottle with one of them coming in at £21. Most of that stuff is in the 8-12% mark and IMO doesn't exactly taste grand either.
On a similar note, my local beer shop recently promoted some S African brews at over £10 a bottle. Ludicrous.

A kidney?
The price in London I guess is severely affected by the rent and business rate. If someone can afford the price of a pint like that so be it. 😆
A pot of gold, begorra?
Was listening to Kermode and Mayo's film podcast, and Simon Mayo said that a G&T and a beer cost £35 in Iceland.
Ten million, ten million, ten million dollars

In Iceland you should be drinking Brennivín ... Not G&T.
I still have my bottle of Brennivin in me fridge. 😛
1000 year of oppression, all of your friend's resources and an unforgettable legacy of pain and suffering? 😈
We have a winner!
Simon was closest on the previous page, €3 out.

I guess the lesson here, is stay out the tourist traps.
Nearly £46 ... 😮
The moral of the story ... 😀
1. Stay out hipster pub (I assume it's hipster).
2. Stay out of pub with live music. Live music is noisy.
3. Check price before ordering.
😆
