I went to a bar in the Czech Rep they had Guinness draughts. Thought I'd try a drop. A drop is all I got. 89kc about 3 pound 50 for 0.25 of a litre. Barman thought it crazy too. Went back to Czech lager for 1 pound 50 for half a litre.

great pub back in the day .Paddy and Maureen great people.Some old friends of mine shown here that have passed away ,may they rest in peace.

Where's the 41 years gone?

[@briankelly85]

I wish I could time travel. I would go back and have a pint with these lads.

[@sammyb1651]

They weren't serving pints. That's literally what the article was about.

[@johntheball]

😂😂😂 you'll have a half litre ...and like it....

[@patkearney9320]

Brings back memories of a less complicated world we had little to worry about then. I remember my own father swearing under every saints name he’d give it up if it went up another penny.

I once as a young man of 12 years old drove 12 wild cattle very early one morning and on my own to Ballindibne fair, i stayed around most of the day trying to keep those animals together and later walked them back for the owner whom I met at the fair as he walked around with a large meat sandwich and a pint of Guinness, I had no money so I did not eat all that long morning, day and until I got back to my home later that night, Yet I never blamed the owner as I know him to be a kindly man but he had forgotten about me, I never felt hunger in all my life, and yet that was only for a very short time, millions of people all over the world go to bed hunger because of lack of food

You are absolutely off your nut. I love reading your comments

@jamesbradshaw3389 you really need to write a book about your memoirs. Truly . Thankyou for your balanced thoughts you really remind me of my Dad, he was a good man too x

@@Janet4021Thank you Janet that is very generous and kind of you to say, I would not be able to write a book as my stories are mostly very short plus as you can see I do not write very well because of being dyslexic. Thank you again and I wish you all the very best

Good man James

[@cinemaocd1752]

My first trip to Ireland in 1992, a pint of Guinness was 1.80 in Dublin and even less in the country pubs...I was thrilled because a draft Guinness back home in the U.S. was $6 for an American pint.

[@mitchell16]

Where in America were you paying $6 for a pint in 1992? It wasn't even anywhere near that when I lived in NYC in 2012.

[@lfcsponge]

God be with the days..Had three pints last night for just under 20 euro..20 euro would have put me in hospital back then😄

[@douglasschaden3475]

Great wee craic in Ballindine. Good man Eugene.

[@denisludden1981]

I wish I bought a pint in 1983 it would now be worth £8.00, I could really enjoy knowing how much I had saved.

[@brianallen858]

Very few places you can get a pint for less than a 5 euro note ❤

[@briankelly85]

NYC 10 dollars.

[@conormirgan8917]

That’s his job and very serious one too. He’s like a bishop on an ecumenical mission. Concerned about his flock

[@BM-nl6el]

I wonder how much a pint is now Dublin temple bar is 10 euro a pint 😢

[@d_must4309]

The wife has been bugging me for a couple of years now to visit Dublin and the prices are just astronomical. There is no way I'm paying 3 thousand euros for a week in Dublin. Last time I visited in the 90s it was so cheap.

[@MrDastardly]

Avoid Dublin. For a so called ‘capital’, it’s a disgusting, overpriced mess.

[@JohnSmith-lt3jl]

Price of drinking is killing the pubs and many Irish pubs are closing

[@robertdoyle687]

Loved the pints being 'built' next to him 😂

[@rocon86]

Lucky to get a pint for less than €10 nowadays in the big towns.

[@shutup2751]

old working class pubs usually cheapest and best quality

[@gerardodwyer5908]

BS. On average across Ireland, the price of a pint is €5 to €5.50. It may be €10 at the Westbury.
