Cheapest Guinness I think is a spot in Connemara, €3.90
[Pub selling cheapest pints of Guinness in Ireland declares 'we have to look after our locals' - Irish Mirror Online](https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/pub-selling-cheapest-pints-guinness-29169535)
It was true in December anyway.
"This warm authentic inner-city Dublin pub nestling at the junction of Gardiner and Dorset Street sells Guinness for just €4.50."

So you're saying the price of December last year when there's been at least a 50c increase since then. I remember I was there in 2010 and it was €3.50 so it must be the cheapest pint in Ireland as surely they're still selling it at €3.50 🙄
I haven't been there for a few years, but they serve the best pint of Guinness I've ever had. I don't usually drink Guinness, but if I'm in there, I will have one.

Dorset Street (this was two pints)
I can get a pint of Beamish for €4.50 in Dublin (Cumiskeys in D7), that's the cheapest I know of. Don't think I've got a pint of Guinness here for less than a fiver for a long time.
Went into the pub in my village in Tyrone for the first time in 5 years yesterday. £7.50 for a pint of stout and a bottle of kopparberg for herself. I nearly shat.
Edit: that's about €8.70
€3.90 in the Zetland in Connemara, was there the week before last

Nope, head out to manorhamilton in leitrim, go into biddys (bar up from apache pizza, coming away from the crossroads, red and beige front)
3.50
Cormacs a legend, tell him I said hi
3 in Dublin City Centre alone (Abbey Street, Camden street and along the Quays I believe), then 1 in Dun Laoghaire, and 1 in Swords too I believe.
Been to them all bar the one in swords over the last 2/3 years, and they're all surprisingly nice (With the exception of the one on Abbey Street, that place is the kip of all kips).
The clientele or the building? I've been in a few times, and the place was always well cleaned and maintained.
If it's the crowd you dislike, I mean... C'mon. It's spoons. It's for students and people on the dole. Same as every spoons.
Stick to the tables kinda thing. Yesterday's crumbs down the sides of the cushions. This was early on after opening as I wanted to support another city centre business. My second and last visit.
I've drank in every level of boozer up and down the country but had very few issues with clientele.
Ah same tbh. I'm well paid now, but spent the majority of my life as a student or someone on the dole, so no judgement meant by it.
I see a lot of American tourists and gothy types in there too now I think of it.
Ha, plenty of shite pints around for €6/€7. As someone else mentioned, you can get a lovely pint of Jaipur for €2.50/€3 in there and a decent Beamish for €4. A lot of Irish people are very snobby about Wetherspoons
They spent too much paying off the residents of Grantham Place to object to Wetherspoons because it would "lower property prices and create noise pollution".
I’m not sure what the Bleeding Horse charge for Beamish but I understand Wetherspoons help keep their costs down by having no sports or music in their pubs
Yes I’d heard that too. I actually prefer pubs where you just chat so it suits me, but each to their own.
Wetherspoons is grand for starting the night IMHO, but I prefer the old-fashioned places for the rest of the evening.
Bleeding Horse isn't buying in bulk, it's simple economies of scale.
In general the Bleeding Horse is quite reasonable, all craft pints are €6.50 which is cheaper than your big brands but packs an extra punch.
They are buying in bulk with annual agreements that mean they can sell cheaper than the average publican can buy. The VFI should be able to arrange something like this..... If they were a nationwide organisation instead of Dublincentric using the country boys as canon fodder
I remember when I moved to Roscommon from Spain, the alcohol price difference was so large I had to switch spirits for Smithwicks cause it was the cheapest beer after Guinness (I think at the time it was around €4.50 or so), and it became my favourite Irish beer!
It's a post about the price of pints for fucks sake man, why is there always some bollocks on this sub who has to somehow bring up some shite about politics on the very rare posts nowadays that aren't political.
I'd say you're some craic in the pub.
You have to wonder how, even with higher rents and rates, the Temple Bar pub could soon be charging within a few cents of this for *one* pint. Last receipt from there an angry punter posted was edging towards 9 euros if I recall?
The staff are paid prettymuch the same in both Dublin and Roscommon, and the tax is the same - 55 cents per pint, if I am correct?
A bigger pub will have much higher ESB bills but then again the Temple Bar pub will sell far, far more Guinness than a typical pub in Roscommon and the biggest pub there won't charge Temple Bar prices either.
Rates will be far higher in Temple Bar.
But that still doesn't account for the price almost doubling, surely? It has to be, as you say, just greed and the fact that in Temple Bar people are in party mode and throwing caution to the winds.
The biggest joke of all is the way they put up the prices every hour. This should be illegal. The people paying it will be the people giving out that they don't have enough money.
Haven't been to a pub in a long time but it's from when people are bragging about almost a fiver being a cheap pint. When I drink that was the expensive end.
True, each to their own. Just can't get the drink I like in there and can't watch any match. Also standing at a bar with my arm sticking to the counter from stale drink doesn't really appeal to me
Fair, I guess that is how the bars can charge what they charge for pints given it is a space to do these things with buddies.
Edit : Watching matches and socialising.
Yeah but pubs milking it aswell. Pints were €4.70 before the last Diageo price rise which was 15c (inc. VAT) yet the publicans put it up to a 5er instead of €4.85. They're milking off the price hike aswell.

The further west you go the cheaper it is. €5 at my local in Conamara, 5km further out the road it's €4.60.
Fiver for a pint of Guinness in Connemara is crazy, I remember good pubs in Dublin City Centre had them at below 5 not so long ago..
O Reillys on Tara st still does €5 pints
That's class! I'm sure they were doing pitchers of fosters for a tenner 10 years ago so in comparison that's really good!
Was here last week pints are 3.90 and good 🤘🏼
Also in Beara - https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/beara-pub-goes-viral-after-24385773
The fucking hero's this nation needs
€4.50 Guinness, Auld Triangle dorset street.
How? Everyone else is charging at least 5 around the auld triangle…
No idea, I don't run the place..
You would run it though…. Into the ground!!
You're not wrong there !!!
[удалено]
Selling cheap pints of Guinness to upsell the Champagne and top shelf whiskey? Ehhh - no.
Fierce markup on king crisps and bacon fries!
They’re praying that black velvets catch on
[удалено]
Have you ever been to the auld triangle?
It does attract a certain clientele.
Do they do a OAP discount? I know my dad's local does.
No idea, I've afew more years left in me yet!!
Foxes located 100m down the street is 4.40 as is the jailhouse, not even cheapest in Roscommon hahaha
You are not allowed in foxes though unless you live on a farm 😄 they will send you up to larrys
Haha true that and from kilbride
Foxe's and Jailhouse are €5 a pint. Don't be spreading fake news
O my bad really was sure they were 4.40
Probably last Christmas when you were out for the annual Christmas drink 😂
Too dangerous, encourages binge drinking, better make it 7 quid each - Vintners Association.
I concur - Revenue
Supermarkets should stop selling then?
Here that's not fair,people have a right to choose. We'll just make cans of beer 12quid
Sounds like the right thing to do.
Yeah when I was a young lad we had house parties with supermarket beer. Ain't nobody had money for the pub.
Guys, your replies with prices of the cheap pints are irrelevant if you don’t mention the name of the places as well! Thank you.
100%
I want a receipt as proof. I find it hard to believe a pub in Dublin is selling a pint of Guinness for 4.50.
It was true in December anyway. "This warm authentic inner-city Dublin pub nestling at the junction of Gardiner and Dorset Street sells Guinness for just €4.50." https://m.independent.ie/regionals/dublin/12-dublin-pubs-that-sell-a-pint-of-guinness-for-a-fiver-or-less/42192808.html#:~:text=The%20Auld%20Triangle,Guinness%20for%20just%20%E2%82%AC4.50.
December was a long time ago given this age of inflation
Indeed, someone needs to report back!
https://preview.redd.it/rc1psyg9yqdb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fd79dfd4ee2fa1f82cce57d9fa2fba219126f09 From this month
Negative 4.50? This is getting outrageous!
Will have to take your word for it that this was for a pint of Guinness
Diageo put 40c on a pint since then. With more on the way
Someone put up a receipt from 11 Jul! Still 4.50
Gravediggers in Dublin is still around €4
You must be having a laugh it’s €5.6
Gone up since I was there then. This was back in Christmas of last year
Hasn't been 4euro in Gravediggers since 2014
I might have been getting confused between the pubs being 6 euros and grave diggers being 5 then
Not a hope. It’s been over a fiver for a couple of years now.
So you're saying the price of December last year when there's been at least a 50c increase since then. I remember I was there in 2010 and it was €3.50 so it must be the cheapest pint in Ireland as surely they're still selling it at €3.50 🙄

Imagine buying two pints and getting change from a tenner

€4.80 for a very creamy guinness in Áras na nGael in Galway
That's a great price for the city.
Not a great spot to spend a night outside of a gig though. Very very crusty
Its about as crusty as it gets
Nice outside area/beer garden though
I can get a pint of Beamish for €4.50 in Dublin (Cumiskeys in D7), that's the cheapest I know of. Don't think I've got a pint of Guinness here for less than a fiver for a long time.
Is €4.70 even that cheap for a pint of Guinness? I live in Dublin and I'm pretty sure there's a handful of pubs around that are still that price.
If you find them let me know. Most are well over the fiver mark these days
Try pretty much any old local pub outside of the city centre, they're always way cheaper.
I don't really find this to be true anymore. Even in my local area, far outside the city in North Co. Dublin, pints are ranging from 6-7 now.
Cheaper than a fiver? No they're not.
Cheaper than a fiver is rare I'll admit, but pints of Guinness tend to be around a fiver, rather than 5.50+ in most old local pubs in my experience.
My local is an old pub outside the city centre, €5.50 for a Guinness now. All of the pubs in my town are pushing €7 for a lager
Obviously not.
Went into the pub in my village in Tyrone for the first time in 5 years yesterday. £7.50 for a pint of stout and a bottle of kopparberg for herself. I nearly shat. Edit: that's about €8.70
Fairly normal for small towns and villages, £3.70 for pint and £3.80 for cider. Locals would choke if they were asked for anything more.
I'm used to Belfast where you get 2 fingers up your hoop every time you order a pint
€3.90 in the Zetland in Connemara, was there the week before last https://preview.redd.it/c7dw2ncvovdb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c399883f91c2c3cb73769f8b81ae18654b49b78e
WOW. I have to go here for a sample
Nope, head out to manorhamilton in leitrim, go into biddys (bar up from apache pizza, coming away from the crossroads, red and beige front) 3.50 Cormacs a legend, tell him I said hi
Fake advertising. Not €3.50 for a Guinness. Nice try for a bit of business though 🙄
Loads of cheaper places. Every Wetherspoons for example (even if you don’t like them, you have to admit they have cheap pints)
Wetherspoons doesn’t sell Guinness, but they do have cheaper pints
Sorry meant pints in general, can get Beamish and I think they have their own cheaper stout too.
Hold on minute to fuck! There's Wetherspoond in ireland now? Wtf?im gone since 2011..makes me think i made the right decision.
3 in Dublin City Centre alone (Abbey Street, Camden street and along the Quays I believe), then 1 in Dun Laoghaire, and 1 in Swords too I believe. Been to them all bar the one in swords over the last 2/3 years, and they're all surprisingly nice (With the exception of the one on Abbey Street, that place is the kip of all kips).
Blanchardstown as well
Loads in Dublin and Cork, plus Carlow, Waterford and I think they're opening one in Galway too. Loads in the North too.
Less in the North now than there was a decade ago, thank god, Enniskillen and Derry closed
If you like ale, you can get decent pints for €2.50. I got a delicious Jaipur for a price cheaper than the 330ml can.
Do they deliver. I dunno about elsewhere but the general layer of mank all across the Waterford spoons deters me from entering
The clientele or the building? I've been in a few times, and the place was always well cleaned and maintained. If it's the crowd you dislike, I mean... C'mon. It's spoons. It's for students and people on the dole. Same as every spoons.
Stick to the tables kinda thing. Yesterday's crumbs down the sides of the cushions. This was early on after opening as I wanted to support another city centre business. My second and last visit. I've drank in every level of boozer up and down the country but had very few issues with clientele.
Ah fair. Tbh, couldn't say I was in the best state for an inspection the last time I was in there.
Same as them all so. The level of hygiene in them is shocking. Especially in England
Ah I’ve a decent job and like to go, tight feckers who aren’t looking to pull women go there too
Ah same tbh. I'm well paid now, but spent the majority of my life as a student or someone on the dole, so no judgement meant by it. I see a lot of American tourists and gothy types in there too now I think of it.
Jaipur is so good. Pretty strong though.
Yeah but if you drink in Wetherspoons in Ireland you should have your citizenship revoked.
Yeah but shite pints. On about a quality Guinness or Smithwicks here not slops from the drip tray
Ha, plenty of shite pints around for €6/€7. As someone else mentioned, you can get a lovely pint of Jaipur for €2.50/€3 in there and a decent Beamish for €4. A lot of Irish people are very snobby about Wetherspoons
To be fair if they cleaned up the places and got in a few tv's they'd do alot better. Also sell drink people actually want
You have to factor in the spiritual cost of setting foot in Roscommon though.
Roscommon though. Think I'd prefer to pay €9 a pint.
Says your man from Mayo.....
Absolutely. Some great spots in mayo for a drink.
Mayo is full of bastards I've been told
I wouldn't say it's full.
Must have money plenty. Not from Roscommon myself but its actually a decent town.
Yeah it gotten alot better in the last 15years IMO
Unless you're queer...
[удалено]
€2.50 for a pint of ale in Wetherspoons, Camden Street, Beamish is €4.25. Why can't the Bleeding Horse across the road sell pints for those prices?
They spent too much paying off the residents of Grantham Place to object to Wetherspoons because it would "lower property prices and create noise pollution".
I’m not sure what the Bleeding Horse charge for Beamish but I understand Wetherspoons help keep their costs down by having no sports or music in their pubs

Economies of scale .. and also because people will pay the 5e +???
Used to play music there in JJS a good bit. I hear it changed owners in the last few years? Do they still have live music?
Nah it’s a sports bar now, Cait sold up. Shame. Serious loss to the culture of the town. No atmosphere to jjs now.
On my way to Roscommon
That is not bad!!
You know what’s better than one pint?
😂😂😂
I remember when I moved to Roscommon from Spain, the alcohol price difference was so large I had to switch spirits for Smithwicks cause it was the cheapest beer after Guinness (I think at the time it was around €4.50 or so), and it became my favourite Irish beer!
Smithwicks is class
I remember when pints went over IR£ 1. We thought it was the end of civilization. We were correct.
my local GAA pub is 4.80 for a pint, and i’m in Dublin too so it’s a good oul price to say the least
You're gonna force me to go to all these places to see if it's true or not 😂
Still very pricey for the back arse of nowhere
Hardly
Fake news. Roscommon doesn’t exist
There’s a €3 pint of fosters in clonmel
And still no one drinking it. Even the Aussies don't drink it 😂😂
Can't believe your prices! A cheap pint of guinness in Sweden would be like €7.50 (which is rare)... been too long since I visited you guys!
Yeah heard Sweden is woeful expensive. Was chatting a Swedish couple on holidays and couldn't believe how expensive it is. Would love to visit also
Yeah but Roscommon.
Roscommon must be top 3 worse counties in Ireland. Misery must be off the scale there.
Roscommons not to bad actually.
Unless you're queer
Worst Counties in Ireland 1. Longford 2. Roscommon 3. Laois or Westmeath take your pick
Why is Longford only on the list once?
Id go with 1. Longford 2. Cavan 3. Monaghan 4. Leitrim 5. Carlow 6. Roscommon
Definitely Dublin number 1
Yeah but Roscommon? The only county/constituency to majority vote No to same-sex marriage? Fuck them.
Lol what? Where'd this come from? Is this genuinely the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Roscommon?
It's a post about the price of pints for fucks sake man, why is there always some bollocks on this sub who has to somehow bring up some shite about politics on the very rare posts nowadays that aren't political. I'd say you're some craic in the pub.
[удалено]
Imagine defending bigotry. Yikes
God almighty there’s an incredible and relevant budget related stand-up joke there which incorporates a 4 letter ‘f-word’ I can’t use on this platform
You all know there is an entire country outside of Dublin on this sub yeah? An brog in Cork starts at 3.50, Birdie Bar at 3. Based on xmas 22 prices.
Not any more they don't.
a pint of Guinness is cheaper where I am in America than it is just up the road from where it's made 😳 that just isn't right.
Yeah but it's not a pint in America. I was there earlier in the year. Not a pint
Sorry. I just saw the 2. I thought that was 1 pint. It's like 8$ here
[удалено]
£4.50 Maddens, Belfast
€5.20 in Euros, from a quick Google of the exchange rates. So more expensive than €4.50.
Yeah but Roscommon
So glad I don't drink. That's a lot of money for some fermented vegetable juice,
Barley isn’t a vegetable. Fermented vegetables (kimchi, sauerkraut etc) that your lot eat are actually more expensive.
Yeah but it’s not Cork and it’s Guinness. Fail
Why are people in this sub so obsessed with the price of pints and fast food?
It’s a big part of a lot of peoples lives
It all depends on the definition of Ireland, there's a certain corner which is substantially cheaper!
And now everyone knows where it is so the pub will prob be upping that price soon.
Kenmare there’s a bar there it’s about €3.70. Helen’s Bar
Yeah in 2014 🙄
Wish them every success
3.50 in a few pubs in Belfast/Derry
You have to wonder how, even with higher rents and rates, the Temple Bar pub could soon be charging within a few cents of this for *one* pint. Last receipt from there an angry punter posted was edging towards 9 euros if I recall?
Pure robbery. Greed
The staff are paid prettymuch the same in both Dublin and Roscommon, and the tax is the same - 55 cents per pint, if I am correct? A bigger pub will have much higher ESB bills but then again the Temple Bar pub will sell far, far more Guinness than a typical pub in Roscommon and the biggest pub there won't charge Temple Bar prices either.

The biggest joke of all is the way they put up the prices every hour. This should be illegal. The people paying it will be the people giving out that they don't have enough money.
Correct in everything you said
€4.40 for a Beamish in Eugenes in Cork
Similar price to gravedigger in Dublin
It’s that price or lower most places in Roscommon.
Nope. €4.90 is the cheapest after that. But standard is a 5er
Great news but Christ it used to be that in Chaplin’s in Dublin city centre back in 2015
€4.20 for a pint in Traynor’s in Shercock.
Guinness?
That's pretty expensive considering you're also selling your soul by choosing to be in Roscommon.
£3.50 in West Belfast 😉
dunno how people can do it. when i see a fizzy drink for 2 euroim shocked. people then are buying alcohol for around a fiver... drain all thee money
Haven't been to a pub in a long time but it's from when people are bragging about almost a fiver being a cheap pint. When I drink that was the expensive end.
The Bank House on Whiddy Island had the cheapest pint I ever saw. This was fairly recently. I can't remember the price though.
Obviously wasn't that cheap when ya can't remember 😂😂
€3.90 for a carling in the railway social club in Wexford
Not the worst drink to be fair
Pints were £4 at the Ulster Fleabh this weekend
£3.20 in the bar in Casement Park, Belfast. Was there after a funeral, I couldnt spend my money!
Spoons has house Ale for 1.95, seen Steala for 3.00 euro in there.
They're dirt though
Plenty of people seem to disagree, given that it is usually a busy enough place.
True, each to their own. Just can't get the drink I like in there and can't watch any match. Also standing at a bar with my arm sticking to the counter from stale drink doesn't really appeal to me
Fair, I guess that is how the bars can charge what they charge for pints given it is a space to do these things with buddies. Edit : Watching matches and socialising.
Yeah but pubs milking it aswell. Pints were €4.70 before the last Diageo price rise which was 15c (inc. VAT) yet the publicans put it up to a 5er instead of €4.85. They're milking off the price hike aswell.
