Dublin pub charges €10.45 for St. Patrick's Guinness

On St. Patrick's Day, visitors to Dublin's Temple Bar pub are shocked by the price of a pint of Guinness, now costing €10.45. This is significantly higher than the average price of €5.77 for a pint in Ireland as of May 2024. Other beers, like Heineken and Carlsberg, are even more expensive at €11.45. Despite the high prices, the pub remains crowded with tourists, many of whom are willing to pay for the experience. Another nearby pub, Oliver St John Gogartys, faced criticism for charging €9.95 per pint after a customer shared a receipt online. Some patrons noted that prices in tourist areas are typically higher, while others expressed disbelief at the costs.
