    Temple bar itself charge north of 10 eurosa pint and most of the bars around are similar, especially if you get silly ordering white russians etc,
    on course at Leopardstown they seemed reasonable.

    Lot more places to go than temple bar though.
    It's a bit shit really, a once and you're done type of thing.

    My favourite was the confession box. still pricey but a lovely place and building.

      It's the accommodation for me, Lobos. We were looking at at least double for accommodation in Cheltenham during the festival week (and probably triple on a like for like basis).

        Cheaper on track and the lager is decent if you're that way inclined, certainly better than Carling.
        Never found prices round Dublin itself that much different to here these days.
        Toners is my favourite pub of the ones I can remember the name of, few decent ones in that area.

          • If going to punches - I'd strongly suggest staying in naas at least 1 night- the town is mental, whereas dublin is the same as any other night

              Nah they weren’t to be honest, very similar.

              But you don’t expect to pay Cheltenham prices in normal boozers, that’s the problem

              Likes of Dublin and London are by far the worst.

                            • As a born and bred Londoner I gotta say paying £14 for a spirit and mixer in a zone one club actually seems fairly reasonable

                              • Lobos at an EDM rave drinking voddy red bull is not what I expected. Love it!
