if you would just bring the cup back you’d get your deposit back. a conceptual bridge too far for many irish people though. better to just chuck it on the grass and then complain about them ripping you off for 20c.
its the zero sum game, we play it a blinder

Indeed, and in most countries, where the ‘cup’ would be made of something more substantial than phlogiston, it would be possible to hold on to the cup unbroken. I suspect however that the3 or 4 I’ve managed to acquire will be in a sad state by Monday.
St. John Smythe
I would have assumed you bring the cup you just finished back when ordering a new one. At the end then you are left with perhaps one cup you maybe will be too tired/drunk to recycle.

Nonsensical beer in a nonsensical restaurant-nightclub. What did you expect?
jonotti
Not to pay the equivalent of €11.53 for a pint.
Anomanomanom
He didn’t. You can’t compare like that. It’s like saying I paid €4.35 for my pint so you’ve charge me the equivalent of 3 cans.
jonotti
I’m comparing beer for sale in a pub with beer for sale in a pub. You’re going to spend 40 quid in those things before you get a buzz going.

janotti,
ja not tink you should shut your big gob until you have something worth saying?
You’re making a show of yourself.
People are laughing AT you, not WITH you.
Just sayin’…
jonotti
Keep it to yourself you mong.

I honestly don’t really get the whole “check the pricelist before you drink here” brigade. Is the point not that some places are charging a stupid amount of money for drinks that would be a third of the price anywhere on the continent? The rip off culture is booming lads.

Nobody has ever been ripped off in any pub. The price is the price because the vast majority who go to places like this have no problem paying it. It can’t be a rip off just because a minority feel that way. I personally wouldn’t pay it but if did iv chosen to so it’s not a rip off.

you’re my new most hated commenter on broadsheet. i have a strong feeling ur the same f***wit behind irish voice, you have loads of similarities.. like awful grammar, spelling, etc. being a complete @rse, being closed minded, against everything.. and so on. im enjoying how immensely dumb all your posts are.
Anomanomanom
I don’t know what irish voice is. And you must new here or you would know iv stated hundreds of time that i am not checking grammar on a glorified message board. And I’m not against everything, you just don’t like the truth.
Anomanomanom
Thanks for showing you intelligence level. Welcome to the Internet.
In 15 cents defence, its impossible to diagnose guys like you Anomanomanom as hatred should be a mental illness…
dubs
they’re expensive in the off licences too. 3.75 or so in whelans, 4.50 in deveney’s rathmines. there is a higher margin on craft beer.
however, the beavertown beers are very tasty and I dont personally see a problem with spending more and drinking less. its not all about price per litre.
as well as this, there are cheap bars and there expensive bars. you can go and drink €4 pints in the portobello of its all about the price of the pint.
TheDude
Yep and $ to € exchange rate isn’t helping matters. Local stopped selling Founders on draft due to price increases related to exchange rate
D2dweller
Your wrong. There’s a much much lower margin on craft beer. Cans of beaver town are €50 a case

wetherspoons last weekend had their cans of ipa for €1.50 each on promotion .

Most pubs in Ireland don’t have the buying power of being able to purchase a dozen pallets at a time…
Can’t compare weatherspoons to other irish pubs. Chalk and cheese

St. John Smythe
you can’t compare chalk to cheese. its like apples and oranges.
Claytron
This stuff is €4.50 a can in the offie.
If you’re ordering it in a fancy-ish restaurant/bar that’s hardly the worst mark up.
ridiculicious #wearebackbaby
It’s a decent tipple.
€6.70 though. Wow
What’s the point here. Get a normal drink next time and not something that comes in a can.
Maybe they missed the price list on the door before ordering?
Beat me to it Wayne.
We are back is right 600k for a 4 bed semi and 6.70 for a drink. This time around theres a shocking divide.
The price of a pint of Heineken at EP this year is €6.50 + €0.20 ‘cup deposit’
Wow. Just wow.
lol 50,000 willingly there and yet we have the can’t pay, won’t pay crowd still pushing that line.
i keep reading your comments forgetting that its you
Don’t you even take time off at the weekend from trolling ? Ps Edna met someone at EP with 2 pints….
Nice one TheDude.
I smiled, and I’m a miserable b’stard at the best of times.
All my Internet Currency is yours now..

Have a good one : )
