> they can still come in with €20 cash & have four pints,” the pub said.
Would it not be healthier for that €20 to buy three pints instead?
>The pub noted that is was also absorbing the price hike on Guinness for all customers paying in cash
Admitting to breaking the law in the media, bold move.
I’m hoping for more places to do this, sure it works with suppliers that you buy 4 kegs get the fifth one free, or give rebates for just solely doing their products…
Pricing Irish people out of a pint of stout has to be seen a cultural crime. More pubs should kick up fuss on behalf of their locals. People will drink at home & stay out of the pub so we’ll see more pubs close. It’s already happening & when people get comfortable with their 4 cans on Friday night, they’ll come for them next. Hell, they’ve already started on those people too.
More pubs need Beamish on tap here in Dublin. Lovely stout and generally a good bit cheap. Had a pint of it for 4.50 the other day in Dublin.
Kavanagh’s is a gem of a community orientated pub that I still make a regular trek to when I can. Up there with Kennedy’s on Thomas St as the best pubs in the area.
Good on them. It would be great to see a kickback at the gouging. I think I’ll avoid diageo beverages for the foreseeable future.

I’ve stopped drinking diageo drinks. Everyone else shud. Bunch of thieves
They should all do it.
More than half the price is tax, personally I care more about that.
“The pub noted that is was also absorbing the price hike on Guinness for all customers paying in cash”
it’s illegal to charge more if people use cards and not cash.
