Temple Bar Shocks Day-Tripper With € 8.95 Baby Guinness

So, last week, Rebecca Hough decided to spontaneously hit up Dublin for a chill day with her buddies. They were having a blast until they got the bill from the famous Temple Bar pub, and let me tell you, it left them absolutely shocked.

The grand total? A whopping 78.60 euros for the drinks they ordered. Can you believe it? And get this, about half of the bill was just for four shots of baby Guinness, each costing a jaw-dropping € 8.95! Talk about an expensive round of drinks, right?

Is Temple Bar A Tourist Trap?

Local Dubliners will be adamant that the Temple Bar neigbourhoud is a tourist trap with overpriced pints, too many tourists and rowdy bachelors parties.

But visitors flock to this area, Temple Bar is a high-profile tourism destination attracting approximately 3.5 million visits a year.
