£45? That's scandalous. And LOL to no cover charge! Should bloody well think not.
i was going to say €33.33 but too late.
Still, no cover charge..... bargain!

Best giff ever.

The moral of the story ...
1. Stay out hipster pub (I assume it's hipster).
It's not a hipster pub, it's a tourist trap designed to give tourists a "traditional" Irish pub experience, minus the Irish people, the smell, the casual racism etc.
That's absolutely outrageous.
They are lucky there was a "splash" option, unless a drinkers pub (where there is a bottle of white lemonade to use) then normally you would have gotten 2 schweppes bottles (even if you only needed one) which would be double that price.
templebar is a rip off, 5 minutes on google would have told them that.
That's absolutely outrageous
I agree. Calling that piss "beer".
Outrageous.

In that case I support the pricing policy after all they need to earn some money from someone. 😆
I'd walk out.
Last time I was in temple bar, 1 pint of hop house and a pint of carlsberg came to 15e, in Scotland 3 weeks ago same drinks £7!!
In my local Sams Smiths, the equivalent (not that you can get those brands) would be about a tenner. Un-ber-leave-able [sic]
Cheap I reckon, just get a subsidy off the EU for it.
that's how you cover the cover charge 😀
I had a bad night on southern comfort in about 1996. Not been able to touch the stuff since!
I like a desperado though, but don't like it when they put lime in. It's already got lime favouring in!!
Pal mentioned the two quid for a dash of blackcurrant..you don't get the whole bottle....
And I thought £5.50/pint at the Greenman Beer Festival was a bit steep, but it's at a festival, and everything is expensive
There's no way I would pay the prices Cougar's friend was charged!
Ten million, ten million, ten million dollars
made me laugh
Anyone saying they'd walk out or not pay is lying.
You'd pay, and then bitch and moan about it on social media, like everyone else!
Do they have to have prices posted up somewhere in Ireland? There's no excuse if they do.
We got stung in Italy last year where there are no prices posted and they bill according to how much they can charge without you going to the police. In a bar full of obviously poverty stricken locals the bill came to several hours work/drug dealing for any of the clients. That was last bar we set foot in, and the last things we bought outside of a supermarket. Some places really know how to brass tourists off and seriously reduce income from tourists.
And this is why I drink at home alone 😉
There is clear both the money and a market for those prices, so the EU are doing something right.l
How much does the local wino earn to be able to fund that lifestyle.
Saying that, I'm told Hipster spec IPA has hit £14 a pint in London.
Where?!
To be fair I don't drink hipster IPA, but is it really nearly a tenner more than standard ale (not from a Sam Smiths Pub or another good value place either).
£7 for a small bottle is possible if you pick the priciest latest fad I guess - but rest assured most people will not be paying that price for a pint in London!!
Si
I know a pub in the valleys that sells cans of carling from under the bar for £1 a pop. May god though wild horses couldn't drag me into it.
The Landlord was a total arse, the brewery owns the pub, but he thought the money was shit so he decided to fill two massive wheeled boxes with ice and cans of carling and sell those instead - buy 'em for 50p, sell em for a £1 'cash only lads' straight into his back pocket. He told me this as at the time I was working for his accountant.
I may have cheated. It appears my source was a bit out of date though 😉

That makes the whole thread moot, Simon. You pays your money and takes your choice.
Standard beer in Iceland is £10 a pint. Luckily the bar at the base of Lauf Towers has a two hour Happy Hour, so only £5. A 33cl craft beer with a meal was over £12. Nice though.
Note to self..avoid drinking in dublin. I pay 1.5 euros a pint of guinness here in spain on a thursday, that includes a plate of nuts tooand fast wifi.
