Most Expensive Pint vs Cheapest Pint in Dublin (2024)

I understand how pints from abroad can be expensive but how is a Guinness in Dublin between €6-10 yet a Guinness in Spain is €3. The bloody thing is brewed 100 metres down the road in Dublin

Ireland has better salaries than Spain. Irish people go to Spain and Portugal and say how much cheaper it is there but it's because people there earn less.

First trip to Ireland about 18 months ago. Planning a return next year. Walked around the Temple Bar area but mostly hit pubs just outside the area, better and cheaper just blocks away. Doyles, Bowes, Stags Head is beautiful, Darkey Kelly’s, The Old Stand.

[@garymulhall515]

Much better pubs in town for €5 a pint. The Lark Inn on Meath St only €5 a pint. The Liberty Belle on Francis St €5.30 a pint then The Snug on Stephens St only €5.20 and all cracking pints. Three busy Pubs only a few mins walk from each other (5 Mins from the Luas) with proper Dublin Locals in them. Do a pub crawl between the 3 you can have 2 pints in each, that's 6 pints in real Dublin Pubs for pretty much the same as 3 pints in Temple Bar. Leave Temple Bar to the Tourists.

The Temple bar is a tourist trap and every touristy city has one if not many. Anybody who walks in and gets stung by the prices is the same type of tourist who is gonna get caught in other tourist traps elsewhere. These places will always exist and since no Dubliner in the right mind would ever willingly walk in there for a few pints then so be it. Have never been in there despite working around the corner in a pub many years ago but am surprised with how cozy is actually looks in this vid. Still wouldn't be caught dead in there but at least it looks pretty comfortable.

[@G1BBOuk]

Great to see you posting again Daragh! Went to Dublin in March for the first time so watched a lot of your videos to get an insight of where to go. Dublin was ace. As a tourist one thing about Temple Bar pub was the atmosphere was worth paying the extra for the pint, all be it we had a better pint of Guinness in Bowes for a few Euros less but we were the only ones in there at the time. Having the music and a packed bar was worth it for me, totally agree with what you say about Temple Bar Keep up the good work mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@thevolthead]

I was in there in April, it was a big rugby weekend, Leicester Tigers V Leinster. I can tell you it was more than that for a pint, it was 11 Euro. Flip side, atmosphere was electric and the live band on were absolutely superb. The roof was coming off the place and it was shoulder to shoulder!

The Temple Bar area is pricey, but we felt safe; the entertainment was excellent, and we met various people who all wanted to have a fun time. The cheapest pint we found was in O'Reilly's on Parnell Street, which was 8.40 euros for a pint of Guinness and a lemonade.

[@Jon_H_S]

It's bad over here in the UK too. Two of the pubs you reviewed in Central London a couple of years ago - the Coach and Horses and the Guinea Grill. The price of a pint of Guinness in the Coach and Horses? £6.80 (€8.18). The Guinea Grill? £7.20 (€8.66). These are just standard pubs in central London! I visited Dublin two weeks ago - buying a pint of Guinness that cost me the equivalent of £5.67 in Mulligans on Poolbeg Street was a refreshing change for my wallet. Fair play to the Auld Triangle for keeping the prices low - especially for cash payments.
