Spotted in the window of The Alamo, Temple Bar.
Bargain.
A pity really, as The Alamo is home to the deep friend ice-cream special. No, really. Apparently it’s lovely too.
This sign got me thinking about the average cost of a pint around the city. The Hop House, at €4, is probably the most reasonable you can expect in a Dublin city centre pub. I think we’ve only beaten that once or twice on pub crawls, with Neds coming to mind as being a bit cheaper. It’s also an early house. One nil.
Advertising a pint that’s dearer than the average pint in the city seems bizarre to me. This isn’t any worse a price than many other pubs, but it’s unusual to see it stuck in the window. The last pub I remember sticking the cost of a pint in the window was a J.D Wetherspoon in Derry, and they nearly pay you to drink.
So, drop in for the ice-cream, but stick to the tap water.

I’ve seen that sign before and laughed at it. Silly fuckers. For some reason, Eddie Rocket’s sell pints of Heineken and Guinness for 4 euro, which makes them possibly the cheapest pints in Dublin.
Great blog, by the way, I’ve only found it recently.
The Sackville is pretty cheap can’t remember the prices exactly though.
Wetherspoons in Derry – Oh the memories!
What with that and Angl Oirish, we’re fucked.
You can pay up to €7 a pint in The Temple Bar on the night of a rugby international.
€4.50 is quite good for a pub in the Temple Bar area, I would have thought. Heh.
That says it all really doesn’t it!
As for the €7 pint, I’ve heard the same. The most expensive pint we’ve encountered on a pub crawl to date was the Shelbourne Hotel (what a surprise), but that was nowhere near the €7 mark.
