€6.90 for a Guinness was the average last weekend while the pints themselves just very average.

I have had way nicer stout in Cork and Kerry as well as London lately.

There is no way I am taking Guinness in a plastic pint cup.

The staff are to blame in a lot of this. In an Irish pub, your stout us one of your USPs. Some staff neither know how to pour a pint or what a pint of stout should look like.

Some of the pints you see handed out are disgraceful. Any half decent bar manager should be pulling their staff aside and teaching them step by step what is actually expected of them.

You're not being paid just to turn up like, you actually have a job to do.

I'm over in the mainland at the moment and nobody wants the Kings shilling anymore. So many places are "card only".

A sign of what's to come in Ireland. Cash is dead. Long live the card

Was over there a few weeks ago and had to give the waitress my cash, so she could pay on her card, so that I could eat a bit of breakfast. I'd say if I had to pay upfront, I'd have starved.

The tides have changed. You'll get the occasional fella rambling about freedoms and auld lads watching horse racing on their phones in heritage pubs, but most people have accepted that cash is going and card will be the only show in town soon enough

The Revolut app is handy. I don't have the card though

Worse, staff in some London pubs/venues (I'm looking at you Camden World's End and Underworld) press a tip option on the terminal before presenting it to you so you end up paying +15/20% extra without knowing it.

Hard to bate the aul revolut.
They're after atin the Irish bank's lunch (or more accurately dinner, sure what else would you have in the middle of the day)

I did not know of such a thing. How does this work?

One such example from a pub I visited tonight.

I went in regardless because I'm not worried about my civil liberties being eroded when I pay for a pint with card
