Its only as good as any other pint around.  Totally overrated.
To be fair, there's 100's of pubs in Ireland that do a nice pint. Nothing at all between the good pubs.

You only really remember when you get a bad one

You're right and you're wrong. It's a nice pint but it definitely is not as good as people make out.

I'm all for aul man pubs but Mulligans is the most overrated pub in Dublin.  The front left of the pub is half decent but the right half of the pub is a big empty room.  The paint was flaking off the walls there last Sat.

When I seen posts in here I expected them to be about one thing so I'm disappointed...

But sure I guess I get to post the news that the Donaghmede "Dusty Bin" Inn is going to be reopening!!!

If you forget about happy hours etc it was about €16+ for a pint of Guinness in Dubai and about €15 in general for a pint of Heineken. Jager bombs would've put you back over €20 each.

Happy hours some places would be able a tenner a pint.

A lot of people did Brunches which generally speaking would be better value, all you can eat and drink for 3-5 hours depending on the brunch. Some would have been fairly limited on what you could drink though, bottles of beer etc. 

The more expensive brunches were amazing though and worth every penny. If anyone ever goes to Dubai the Brunch in Saffron in the Atlantis hotel is a must. Same hotel will cost you like £800 a night to stay but the Brunch is about €133 and well worth it.

The price of pints of stout in Dublin last night shocked me. Something is seriously wrong when a pint of Guinness in my local in London is a euro and fifty cents cheaper than a pint in the city its made in. 

If I wasn't Irish you couldn't pay me to live here. How on earth is everything so expensive? The gall of it.

Surely it depends on how much you were been paid to live here, if the main reason is the price of things.

People need to do this more. Every pint served should be bang-on, moreover pints in the €6+ bracket.

Name and shame them.

The prices in town for a pint if just off the scale.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
