Passengers blast prices as the Gate Clock pub at Dublin Airport re-opens after refurbishment

There's nothing that makes it feel like your on holidays more than a pre-flight pint in the airport.

And the Gate Clock pub in Dublin Airport's Terminal One has announced it has re-opened after being refurbished - just in time for anyone jetting off over Christmas.

However, passengers have blasted the high prices with one saying you would need a "mortgage" to buy a pint and a snack there.

The official Twitter account for Dublin Airport tweeted the news on Wednesday with two snaps of the new pub, writing: "The bar is now officially re-open!

"Good news for passengers travelling out of Terminal 1 after The Gate Clock pub opened its doors once again today following a full refurbishment. Perfect for a pre-flight drink or nibble…"

However, disgruntled Twitter users took to the comments to complain about the airport prices, with a ham and cheese toastie priced at €8.75.

One person replied to the tweet, writing: "Don't think so, not with airport prices. I wait thanks."

Another complained about the price they were advertising for a sandwich, saying: "8.75 for ham & cheese sandwich?!?! Is it made from a precious metal."

A third joked: "Need a mortgage for a pint and a packet of crisps."

Meanwhile, other holiday goers were more excited about the re-opening as one man wrote: "It's not a holiday until you've had a pint in the Gate Clock at 6 in the morning."
