The owner of a popular pub is refusing to up the price of Guinness despite brewer Diageo introducing massive hikes.
Bernard Farrell, who runs the Clonliffe House in Ballybough, North Dublin, will absorb the additional costs in order to keep a pint of plain at just €5. The publican, working with wife Pamela and son Darren, is not increasing Smithwicks either.
He reckons the black stuff at his watering hole is one of the cheapest and best in the capital. Speaking to the Irish Mirror yesterday, Bernard said: “We don’t want to touch the Guinness or the Smithwicks, it’s a fiver. We have a very loyal customer base.
