A total of 2,936 Dublin Live readers have said that the price of a pint puts them off going on a night out in the city centre.
In Temple Bar, a pint of Heineken can be as expensive as €9.95, and a Guinness is not that far behind at €8.95. Pubs in Dublin and across the country have been forced to raise their prices in recent months after Diageo, who owns Guinness, Rockshore, Carlsberg, Harp, Hop House 13 and Smithwicks, raised the price it charges for draught beer by 12 cents a pint this month.
Heineken also hiked the price of their pints by 17c before VAT in December. Out of 3,150 respondents to a poll on our website, only 216 people said the cost of a Dublin pint doesn't affect their nightlife plans.
