Was sitting at a bar in Dublin on Saturday, and a man came up and asked for 2 bags of Crisps. The barman handed him 2 bags off brand Cheese & Onion and tried to charge him €4.50. He called it robbery and refused to pay.
If people continue and are willing to pay over €10 for a pint, then it’s on them. If nobody pays for it, the price will soon come down.
we should remember to feel sorry for the publicans! those breweries really nailed them last year with the price rises (not)
Friends don’t let friends drink Rockshore.
Be a cold day in hell before I pay a tenner for a pint of Rockshore
Id bring my own cans before id pay a tenner for a pint
“People don’t have to spend money in pubs, they don’t have to go for a drink. ”
Noted.
He will repent…These are the same people who will cry for tax relief the moment Paddys Day is gone. To be honest he can put it at 100 eur a pint i never saw that place as a pub….walked there milion times….and now, will definitely ignore it just like everything else in any proximity to Temple Bar. Even at these prices it will be watered down.
It’s like sending up a Bat-signal for where not to go for a drink.
Merchant’s Arch pub. Rockshore is pish (the lager and cider).
Rockshite cider?! I’d be pressing charges.
Disney lands also a rip off. These temple bar amusement pubs thrive off of exploiting tourists and it’s not news.
Willing seller, willing buyers.
Nothing to see here.
If you’re dumb enough to pay it, what’s the issue?
Not sure what the issue is if there are people dumb enough to pay it. Owner is probably proud to get the free publicity from the Indo, but it’s mostly a big sign for anyone who isn’t a clueless tourist to stay the fuck away. It’s not as if you’re getting some unique experience like having dinner 50 floors or dining on the Orient Express. Just getting the same pint and pub food you’d get in a similar place within a 5-10 minute radius.
Everyone should go in there and order a pint.
When the barman asks for 10 euro, say how much? And walk away.
The fact it’s rockshore is the funniest part
Plenty of places still do a nice pint at a reasonable price, no need to support people like this!
Do any Irish people actually drink in pubs like this one or the temple bar?
Boycott plain and simple
How can they justify a 3 euro price hike in one sweep. Fuck em, greedy twats.
The owner seems pleasant. Reality is he doesn’t want native trade. He wants the tourists.
Remember when pubs were legally obliged to display a list of their prices, which anyone could see before they even ordered a drink?
Why is anyone drinking in a pub that charges so much for drinks? They wouldn’t charge it if nobody paid it.
If I ordered a pint, they put it on the bar and ask me for a €10 I’d leave it there. No way I’m paying a tenner for a drink.
Why is that stupid cunt posing with a pint, as if it’s deadly craic. Gobshite of the highest order.
Pubs in the Temple Bar area shouldn’t really count, they’re run and priced more like a tourist attraction than actual pubs.
Why aren’t they done for the ‘happy hour’ end of promotions- technically it’s cheaper earlier in the day and they put the price up- why can’t my local charge a 5er up until 9 and put price up after that if these lads can!?
Anyone know?
The one and only time I had Rockshore was a pub in the middle of nowhere as they didn’t have Orchard Thieves. It’s fucking rotten, it tastes watered down and bland like Bulmers and still tastes like shit. It also doesn’t help all the Kopparberg options are mixed berry or the elderflower, hard to find pear these days and sure they’ve moved on to poxt seltzer and gin because drinks are a trend these days…
Trying to rip off tourists who wouldn’t know any better I wonder? If someone tried to charge me a tenner for a pint of piss like that I’d tell them to shove it up their hole. Cost of living and min wage has gone up but not to this point. Absolute gouger.
Everything is worth what a customer is willing to pay. Don’t like the price? Don’t go.
You’d swear that pints are a human right et je way people go on.
Drink is a luxury and people can price it whatever way they want once above the minimum price.
More that dickheads are paying it.
Same cunt will be crying about business being down and needing a lower vat rate for hospitality.
Someone explain why pubs are closing down at record rates when we have this great value.
Finally
Greedy prick there’s no justification for those prices, as usual riding tourists. It costs nothing to leave a review on trip advisor just letting people know this is crazy expensive. You should do it if you get a minute
Merchants arch 😂
Had always been a shit pub, run by thieves, it was the first place that had a 4/5/6/7 euro Guinness and it’s always been piss.
Thankfully I don’t have to go there to meet my exes gobshite mates who loved oi oi English lads
Tourist trap overcharges, more at eleven
Big happy head on him, cause he’s robbing people without a balaclava
Does anyone other than tourists ever go into this place? Any time I go past they are belting out diddely-eye music
**”A pint of Carlsberg there generally sells for €9.95 and a Guinness for €9.65. But they both shoot up over €10 after 10pm.”**
I thought “happy hours” were illegal in Ireland so how is he allowed to charge more when it’s past a certain time?
8.65 for a Guinness 🤢
Utter fucking prick of a publican. Yes Tom, justify your fucking price gouging, you prick.
We’re barreling away from our established drink culture as fast as the government can whip us anyway. This kind of thing is bound to happen.
“*Why is no one coming to my pub, HELP ME !*”
This guy in a few years.
Haven’t they been selling €10 pints in temple bar for years?
I cant afford to go out anymore now anyway life is getting more expensive every day now.
You’d have to pay me a tenner to drink that stuff.
