I posted before there's a lot coming in from the UK just for the day to Templebar then getting the last flight home pissed.They don't care about the history or the museums..just a piss up then they never come back.

On way home I was in atlanta airport

Give it back to the local authorities and/or bring back hackneys, I say!

Post by: mercenary for hire on March 14, 2025, 10:41:42 am: It mostly just the very middle of town that goes nuts with the pricing.Now that we have more tourists Templebar and it's prices have kinda spilled over to as far as Abbey street all the way up to Aungier street.You'd still get a Guinness for less than €7 beyond Smithfield.When I was in Bantry recently in a local bar they were still charging nearly €6.The culchies aren't getting their drink that much cheaper these days.Didnt see one taxi anywhere so I assume they just drive home pissed.
