I took my kids out for a birthday treat.

I was in the Temple bar last Tuesday.
A pint of larger and a malibu and coke was €24!!
Normally, i'd pay less than £10 for both drinks locally.

I was in Germany, Switzerland and France for two weeks (vacations). Prices are going through the roof everywhere. Even in France. In Paris I ordered a beer at a simple couscous restaurant near Pt de Clignancourt (in the north, where it's cheaper than downtown) and it cost EUR 10! (= $10 for a beer!!)
In Geneva I was at a street café and I drank two or three cups of coffee while enjoying the view on Lake Geneva (just black coffee, nothing fancy), and I was billed almost EUR 30 😕

I've been to temple bar in ireland. It's a tourist trap drinks were more reasonable away from the city centre

It's now $10 for beer, not even premium, and $12-$14 for cocktails. I can buy a bottle of Jack Daniel's for the price of 2 drinks. Way overpriced and not worth the money.

Jeez. I used to drink 15 or so pints of Guinness a day that's what £115

Bloody hell I'd be bankrupt in days.

So glad I'm sober 😂😂

Between 4 and 5 £'s. 😯

Years ago, when I used to dine out frequently, I thought the cost of drinks in restaurants was crazy and wondered how people could afford to go to bars or order drinks at dinner as a regular thing. When I took Mum out for lunch last year, I noticed a beer or ale was $10, cocktails were $15. Fortunately, Mum was a non drinker, and I'm just as happy with tea or coffee.

One of many reasons I prefer Pepsi.

For that much I drink for atleast a month or straight 20 days. Cost of pint of beer(500ml) here is $1 and apple vodka pint(180ml) would be around $1.3 so I drink around (270ml) for less then $3. So overall what you had is my budget for alone for a month. But I have been sober since three weeks. 🙂

I just did some very rough sums.

When I first started drinking in pubs in 1980, the average UK wage was 250 pints/week

In 2023, it is 135 pints/week

We only have coffees or soft drinks when we go to the pub but here are a few prices after recent rises due to cost of living.

It’s been 3.5 years since I bought a drink at a bar. I spend $100-150 a month at the local liquor store and that covers our drinks and the guests we entertain

Depends on the drink and brand obviously.
Pint of Guinness seems to be running +/- $7
Bud Lite +/- $3
Margarita seems to be +/- $11
Shot of Johnny Walker Blue +/- $40

i live an hour outside Dublin, a pint of Heineken in my local is 5.50 and Guinness is 5 euro.

Wow. The price for a pint of something like Guinness or a craft beer is usually around $5 USD at a pub I frequent. A domestic is around $3.50 USD. A double tall mixer would be around $7 USD.

The fine print on the bottom might explain the higher cost, in addition to it being something touristy. I doubt your average corner pub in Ireland can charge those prices.

$0
I rarely drink and I never go to bars

About the same here about $15 Canadian for a pint of Guiness.

I have drunk there several times but I would not pay those prices.

I drink at home.

Glad I don't drink anymore. I was having sticker shock when I lived in Michigan about 13 years ago, and a glass of wine cost $9.00!!!!

Zero, they serve me ice water and never charge. If I’m there however I do give each bartender a CD 💿 .

A pint of Guiness would be about £4.50.
The price in the picture would be about £7.50

Where I live a beer is at least £6 a pint and that’s not even a big city or a posh pub… it’s just standard pub in a provincial town in the Midlands - crazy!

Is it at an airport?

That's ridiculously expensive. But that's Ireland.
Here in the USA $10.00 is about whst I pay for a cocktail

$8 for a schooner of XXXX

Bloody hell! I drank in there about 20 years ago....

Good grief ! My best friend and I were complaining about these prices just last week.

Damn, I used to complain about the €4.50 for a spritz! 😅

Half a liter of beer (a bit less than a pint) is usually no more than €7 down here thus far

Why do they print the amount 3 times on 1 receipt, are the people thick headed over there? 🤣

In fact name of the bar as well.. 🤭

Wow that’s a lot of money. I don’t go to bars anymore or drink. But I think a drink is around $12 Canadian going by what they charge at restaurant/bars.

Phew Dublins got expensive..over 13quid for a shot..can buy a whole bottle in the supermarket for £20

Holy shit !
$27 for a vodka and tonic 👀
