      Who’d have thunk charge exorbitant prices would be so detrimental to business when your primary market is young people 🤷‍♂️

      They can yap on all they like about cultural changes but if Diageo continue to raise prices pubs will just keep losing customers.

      They need to adapt. I’m one of those young people that no longer drinks, mainly because I have young children and need to be compos mentis at all times. However, I do still value pubs, just not for alcohol.

      There are three things that make me more likely to use a pub
      1) They serve decent food
      2) They’re used as meeting places or community spaces
      3) Pub quizzes
      4) They’re child friendly. A few crayons and a bit of paper make a big difference, at least for my kids

      It’s too expensive to drink a few pints more than once a week (if at all) for any students or those on less than an average salary.

      People have been priced out of the market. It’s as simple as that.

      Sick of listening to pub owners winging about “the Irish pub”. Our relationship with pubs has been deeply unhealthy for years. It’s a good thing that younger people are moving away from hanging around in pubs.

      While all the points mentioned in the article are true, the sole reason I’m not going to the pub as much is price. Just can’t afford to.

      And most pubs (not the ones mentioned in the article keeping the drinks lower to keep customers) have raised prices to make up the lower footfall, which is just a short term mentality doing untold long term damage to themselves and the industry whole as a lot of people just won’t come back, or never set foot to begin with.

      Blaming the living wage…good one. The government had to be dragged to bring the *minimum* wage somewhere close to bridging the gap between the huge COL. never looking at themselves it’s always others problems. If you can’t make your business work in an “urban” area you need to change how you operate your business. Plenty of pubs who’ve expanded their offerings and events are thriving. The ones stuck in their ways will go the way of the dinosaur.

      And in the same breath will charge you the latest 40 cent price hike on the pint.

      They killed the golden goose [customer] with their greedy.

      No sympathy. Hope they all hit the wall

      Every house over €700k in the Dublin suburbs seems to have a home gym and a bar.

      As young people are less inclined to drink alcohol these days and a high number of them don’t have a huge amount of disposable income then there’s a significant market there to target for those people with non-alcoholic beer and stout. As such a high amount of the price of a pint is due to tax on the alcohol then these ‘zero alcohol’ offerings will be a way to circumvent the tax on alcohol and, therefore, be able to be sold by publicans at a considerably lower price than the traditional alternative and get more young people out and into pubs again!

      …Oh.

      Never mind.
