Temple Bar Dublin: Woman left asking 'am I seeing things?' after being handed huge bill for four drinks

A woman visiting Ireland from the UK took to Twitter to share a big bill she was handed for four Jagermeister shots at a bar in Dublin.

The cost of a night out in the capital is known to be expensive, but as the cost of living crisis continues to rise, everything seems to be increasing in price, including drinks and food.

The young woman visited the famous Temple Bar in the heart of the city - known as a tourist hotspot - where she bought four shots of Jager and one can of Red Bull.

She barely came away with change from €50, and people have been flocking to her Twitter to share their experiences of Dublin’s expensive nightlife.

Sharing a picture of her receipt, it showed that four shots of Jager came to €36.20, while the cost of one can of Red Bull was €6.35 - totalling €42.55.

More than 1.7 million people have viewed her post, and thousands have commented underneath.

One person said: “£9.05 each for a Jagermeister ouch, cheaper getting a pint. I bet you won’t go back there in a hurry”.

A second wrote: “No! I got absolutely fleeced in there and the surrounding pubs”.

Another advised: “The pub literally next door took about a weeks wage off me, across the river is far cheaper.

“There’s a massive bar in the Arlington hotel which served us far better”.

However, others didn’t have much sympathy and say she should have expected as much from this area of town.

One person wrote: “Capital city and the most popular drinking attraction there it’s always gonna be expensive. Pints of Guinness are about 8 quid each”.

Another said: “I actually felt robbed leaving this place a few weeks ago, thankfully we got some great recommendations from the locals of where to go”.
