Funny that, barman been there 22 years and hears no complaints. I’ve been in Temple Bar once, for an hour and heard the American man at the bar moaning to his friend about the price at the bar. What are the chances eh?
Fair play to The Auld Triangle giving discount for cash....👍👍 Taking the increase in the last three years as a percentage, in three years time the price will probably be closer to €15.....😭😭
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.
What good is having better salaries when the average rent of an apartment is 2000e per Month.This country is a fucking joke,being rode left right and centre,while the clowns in the Dail are laughing at the average Joe.
DUDE!!! When you said 9 EURO 90(9.95/10) I NEARLY FELL OF MY COUCH!! THATS INSANE!! I swear Temple Bar is a tourist trap. In Italy I got a bottle of wine for 3 euro!! Ahhh cmon lads that a joke 10 euro a pint give it a rest will ye!!
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 👍🏻👍🏻
great one Daragh 👍👍 planning my first trip to Ireland for next year, finally 🙂and your videos help a lot. especially as I'll try to not be in Dublin anyway 😋
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.
Great video. I go to town for pints regularly. I do Temple bar once a year and every year really enjoy it , always at Christmas. Does be great fun and a great atmosphere
what you said at the end is quite important imo because many people online seem to not get what it means for a place to be "touristy". reddit threads will be full of locals going "shush, if you tell people where the good pubs are those will become touristy too" but when im looking for a "non-touristy" pub i just mean a high quality establishment with a sincere/authentic atmosphere, not whether other tourists are present. when i visited dublin i did avoid the pubs in temple bar solely because they were generally too crowded for me, but didnt mind paying some 8 or 9 euro for a pint when one had live music and good seats at the time
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 Silver Penny (A Spoons ) in Abbey st Dublin City center ,sells pints of Beamish Stout for 4 Euro 45 cent ( under £4 ),and real ales at 2 euro 60 cent a little over £2 .
@@1889Blade4LifeWow what are the chances?! I'm actually popping down to Mansfield next week to look at a car, it's a fair trip from Cumbria mind. Will look out for the Murphy's, not seen it on tap in England for over a decade! Cheers pal 😊
My mates took me on a surprise trip to Dublin at the start of October. We went to Temple Bar on a Saturday night and it was rammed. All the pubs in that area were expensive but we were tourists so it was just whatever at that point. Loved every single second in Dublin. Amazing place.
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.
Further to last comment, the average price for a Guinness in a Glasgow pub is around £5 which I think is reasonable. The best Guinness over here is a 4 pack from the off licence. Brilliant with a creamy head! Slainte !!!
£8.24 😮 shocking price, when you consider Bittles in Belfast is £5.80 and one of the best pints, and there's lots of other bars in Belfast you can get a pint for under a fiver.
"Tourist tax", and is include Bittles in that. Many MANY spots that pour a fab Guinness in Belfast and charge much less. The vibe in Bittles is ok though.
The cheapest pints are 2.60 for cask beers in the JD Wetherspoon pubs in Dublin. Those are 2024 prices. Mind you, last week, there was just one of six cask beers on in Keaven's Port pub on Camden street.
I was in Dublin for three days in March 18th to 21st. The price of a Guinness then (the day after Paddy's day) in Temple Bar was 12 euros. North side in my hotel bar on Parnell St, a Guinness was 6 euros.
I’ll be in Lanzarote next week drinking a pint of lager in the Sun Lounge in PDC for €1 … I will have a Steak and a pint for €12 later on in Spoons. Ireland is a rip off.
I've been away for 35 years in total - Last visit in 2011 - I visit next month and I'll be seeking out those sub 5 Euro pints for sure LOL. Although, my old school pal, David STILL works in the Palace Bar, Fleet St., so that's a must-visit and I managed McDaids in Harry St. in the late 80s, so that too will get a visit - I'll save up some extra Euros for pints in those two LOL.
You dont mind as much overpaying as a tourist especially if you are from somewhere like the States and you only have 2 or 3 drinks. We go Dublin about once a year and while we think about price out drinking at home round York, not so much when over there. We avoid Temple Bar but otherwise just wherever looks good. Next time ill get the round in the Auld Triangle tho
Me and the Mrs visited Dublin 3 weeks ago for our wedding anniversary. I spent £300 in 1 day on food and drink! We had a mint time, though. 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.
I took a trip to Dublin last year. Walking round Temple Bar I saw a poster outside a pub advertising a "great offer". A bowl of stew and a pint for 20€!!!
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.
Shebeen time lads. Government taxes are doing this. Hugh part of these islands culture being obliterated. There was four pubs in my village twenty years ago, now there's one. Social hubs and company for a lot of people literally for hundreds of years destroyed by this lot in twenty.
The price for a pint at the Temple Bar just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. They might as well just make it an even 10 at this rate. Was just in the Auld Triangle a few weeks ago. Great place with a friendly barman and a proper local feel.
It's a good pint, I head in often enough to the Auld Triangle and they're a mental crowd in there but good mental. Always nice people, nice people behind the bar and easy on the bank account.
Somebody in Ireland is making a fortune, just back from Achill and Kilkenny and food & Drink is astonishing. Two pints for the cost of one! RIP(rest in Peace) the Irish Tourist trade! And always assuming you can get a hotel room! Nice video.
I'm pretty sure the Merchants Arch are charging over a tenner for a pint. That's after 10pm though. Tourists don't give out cos it's that price in France or America after you've tipped. Plus they just have a couple they aren't trying to drink 8 pints.
I've been over to Dublin about 12 time over the last 6 years from England I love temple bar your paying for the experience yeah 9.95 is mad but there is no other place that has that buzz and you meet people from all over the world. And the last time I was in there a few months ago was the best Guinness in there so they have upped their game for the price.
A big problem with the pubs is that they're taxed to death. It's the same here in England - the number 1 rule is: shaft the consumer/tax payer at every given opportunity.
The reality is that a lot of the pubs are owned outright. The Temple Bar Pub made €7m in profits last year….from a pub. I’m not criticising then but the price is there because of the elasticity.
The most scary thing about the temple bar is I was in there in 2017 and the price was €6.50, then as u say 2021 its €6.90 a 40 cent increase in 4 years compared to a €3 increase in the 3 years that followed.
Went there 17th of October, Xmas decoration was already up and we where shocked of the price and felt it was to high. We are from Sweden and 9,95€ = 115 SEK which means it's more expensive then a pint of Guinness in Sweden. But it was a cool experience, was there around 8 o'clock so it was overcrowded but we enjoyed it!
The machine provider charges a commission on the sales so you're not getting to keep 100% of the sale. In that regard it actually makes sense charging more for paying by card. Then obviously like you said you have to declare the income then too.
Had 2 pints at an airport in Sochi last week……the equivalent of 28 euro….14 euro a pint…..i was so excited to see Guinness in the bar that I didn’t even look at the price……
I wonder does the proprietor of the temple bar own the building? It’s there so long I wouldn’t be surprised. If they do then the cost of rent can be excluded from the equation.
Thats why I don't go to Pubs in Ireland anymore and keep my Money for a long holiday in Portugal with Bottles of cold Sagres for 90c. Not to mention the fantastic Vino they have .
Obviously it varies from State to State but a $10 headline price for a beer is fairly regular in the North East. Tip on top….so yeah, they aren’t that concerned!
€9.95 is outrageous, but whenever i've gone there with friends or family who have been over visiting i can justify to myself by saying i'm paying an extra €3 for the live music so for a few it's not that bad and if there's a decent band like the buskin bandits i can stomach it for a small bit. Plus i've always had a good time in temple bar to be fair
The price is outrageous …. However when you want somewhere on your trip away at 11.30 am with some live music and a good atmosphere it is what it is … if people didn’t like it so much they wouldn’t pay it
Irish living in Oz, ive missed home until i went back in September, Ireland is an absolute disgrace of place now. Went to Dingle and the place was filthy with rubbish all over the place, and it wasnt the tourist littering, as well as the ridiculious prices on everything the people just do not care about the place, aaaaand i feel the scumbags have just multiplied 10 fold since the last time i was back. I wont be back anytime soon, much rather get paid a decent wage and even at "high" prices in oz it way more affordable than Ireland. Pretty sad how bad its gone in such a short time.
I was in Australia QLD for 6 months in 2017 . Prices there were already high but its ok i guess if you earn good coin (which i was not ) .The weather is also nice most of the time .We lack sunshine which can be depressing in Ireland .
I just came back to California from Ireland... I was horrified to spend 10$ on the worst pint of Guinness of my life when I got back here. The disrespect was shocking. I wish I could teleport back to Galway or Dingle for a good one. But would easily spend 10 Euro at Temple Bar at this point if I had teleporting power.
Video ideas. Guinness guru at WIldhorse Brewery in Llandudno. Try all their beers and compare to the best Guinness in Llandudno. Rinse and repeat around the country with different breweries and cities. Always ending with the best Guinness in the area, plus throw in a few awful pints. We all love a shit pint
Sometimes the simplest videos are the best
Funny that, barman been there 22 years and hears no complaints. I’ve been in Temple Bar once, for an hour and heard the American man at the bar moaning to his friend about the price at the bar. What are the chances eh?

Where have you been? Great to see a new video from Daragh! Keep them coming …..you do a great job!
Now that I do believe.
So true, bunch of my pals said pint of Guinness being almost £10 is outrageous. And we live in London so we know about our expensive alcohol😂
Sounds like a laubor mp
6.90 to 9.95 in 3 years says it all about the inflation experienced globally
Our currencies are being devalued. Reset coming
That's not inflation, that's pure greed.
Great pint of ‘story bud’ in the old triangle.
Fair play to The Auld Triangle giving discount for cash....👍👍 Taking the increase in the last three years as a percentage, in three years time the price will probably be closer to €15.....😭😭
Cash is king
why cash??? why not card payments? to me it's stupid approach aren't they paying taxes or what?

Obviously it varies from State to State but a $10 headline price for a beer is fairly regular in the North East. Tip on top….so yeah, they aren’t that concerned!
Price gouging and greed and the two biggest factors for a €9.90 pint.
€9.95 is outrageous, but whenever i've gone there with friends or family who have been over visiting i can justify to myself by saying i'm paying an extra €3 for the live music so for a few it's not that bad and if there's a decent band like the buskin bandits i can stomach it for a small bit. Plus i've always had a good time in temple bar to be fair
So true, isn't that they're so cheap, it's the rest have got so expensive.
The price is outrageous …. However when you want somewhere on your trip away at 11.30 am with some live music and a good atmosphere it is what it is … if people didn’t like it so much they wouldn’t pay it
nice to see cash is still king in some places at least
Local pub here in the US is $9.50 a pint
This is the kind of videos we all want. Yes
Irish living in Oz, ive missed home until i went back in September, Ireland is an absolute disgrace of place now. Went to Dingle and the place was filthy with rubbish all over the place, and it wasnt the tourist littering, as well as the ridiculious prices on everything the people just do not care about the place, aaaaand i feel the scumbags have just multiplied 10 fold since the last time i was back. I wont be back anytime soon, much rather get paid a decent wage and even at "high" prices in oz it way more affordable than Ireland. Pretty sad how bad its gone in such a short time.
I was in Australia QLD for 6 months in 2017 . Prices there were already high but its ok i guess if you earn good coin (which i was not ) .The weather is also nice most of the time .We lack sunshine which can be depressing in Ireland .
RIP OFF, ITS JUST DAYLIGHT ROBBERY, HOW IS IT ALLOWED
It’s the market. The proposition they are offering is day round music and atmosphere….the people who go there would go for a couple of drinks maybe.
@@Runboyrun89atmosphere is shite though
So lovely to hear the local fella outside shouting his head off
Thought u weren't doing many drink videos anymore 😂😂😂
I just came back to California from Ireland... I was horrified to spend 10$ on the worst pint of Guinness of my life when I got back here. The disrespect was shocking. I wish I could teleport back to Galway or Dingle for a good one. But would easily spend 10 Euro at Temple Bar at this point if I had teleporting power.
Video ideas. Guinness guru at WIldhorse Brewery in Llandudno. Try all their beers and compare to the best Guinness in Llandudno. Rinse and repeat around the country with different breweries and cities. Always ending with the best Guinness in the area, plus throw in a few awful pints. We all love a shit pint
