Irish pub slammed for charging 'outrageous' price and added fee for 'dreadful' pint of Guinness that 'taste like rainwater'

An Irish pub has been slammed online after it charged an "outrageous" price for a "dreadful" pint of Guinness that "taste like rainwater".

Any Guinness drinker knows that pints can often be hit and miss depending on where you purchase, and for many finding the perfect pour is hard to come by.

But one punter got dealt a bad hand after he wandered into an Irish pub and was served a very dodgy looking pint.

Further insult to injury was added when the punter received his bill only to find a service charge of 83c had been added to the already very expensive singular pint which cost €6.60 meaning he paid a total of €7.43.

Taking to social media, comedian Rory O'Connor better known as Rory's Stories, shared a picture of the "horrendous" pint.

He said: "Can I have a pint of Guinness please...?

"€6.60

"12.5% service on top

"No beer Mat

"Total €7.43

"Taste like rainwater.

"Ireland. You've peaked."

People flooded to the comment section to slam the exacerbated price and quality of the black stuff.

One person wrote: "I would of said, "nice" can I have a refund and I'm putting a f#*cking service charge on it!! That's pure muck."

Another wrote: "That's a dreadful pint of Guinness. As soon as you see a head like this, I would refuse to drink it and ask for a proper pint. Or my €'s back."

A third joked: "They should be giving out free rolls of toilet paper with pints like that. That's a horrendous looking pint of Guinness that'll leave you're a**e in ribbons".

A barman then gave his perspective on the situation.

He said: "Dreadful looking pint of Guinness and I should know , I pulled thousands of pints , definitely not a bubble in sight".

While another commented: "Looks like something that fell on the floor, got mopped up and put in your glass".

Rory then explained that he had the most "Irish" reaction possible.

He simple thanked the barman for the beverage, and without complaint, he drank the poorly poured pint.

He said: "Incase you're wondering what happened. I did what most irish people would do in that situation...

- I thanked the barman for my pint

- I then gave out like fuck

- Even though it was rotten, I drank every last drop

- I robbed the pint glass, just to feel like I wasn't 100% ripped off."
