Party rack up 'colossal' four-digit bill at Irish pub in just four hours as Covid rule enforced

A party attending a birthday at a Galway pub racked up a "colossal" receipt of drinks - with over €1,000 being spent in just four hours in the boozer.

A clip, seen by GalwayBeo, shows the moment at the end of the night when the receipt appeared.

It was a sobering moment for the big group who managed to tot up the gargantuan €1,095.70.

However, with the drinks on the list it was no surprise as to why it got so big.

Over €70 was spent on Guinness in one go alone, while rounds of vodka and baby Guinness made up well over €100 each in total.

The popular pub then added a tally of jaegerbombs and shots before the reasonable closing time of 11pm.

Whiskey and Beamish were also a steady favourite on the night with Beefeater Gin and Captain Morgan drank by the birthday group throughout the four hours.

The person who shared the video of the bill with Galway Beo described it as "colossal".

As with the Covid-19 public health guidelines, a new rule that was stated on the bottom of the receipt, meant the group were not allowed split the bill for groups over 6.

Which means one of the partygoers was left to pay the lot in total.

The group aren't the only ones to have been caught out recently.

Back in August, a group racked up a whopping total of €679.90 in the popular Railway Bar on the Dublin Road in Drogheda, Co Louth.

Coors, Moretti, Jagermeister, Tequila, Caralsberg, Heineken as well as a staggering amount of Guinness were all on the tab. before the pub was forced to stop serving at 11.30pm.
