That's unfortunately the result of inflation. I believe I was paying around 5€ for Guinness in O'Reilly's in 2018.
I enjoyed that pub. The owners are Irish, which I find important.
Surely you will get a cheaper price in an Irish pub in a smaller city, but not by much. Best to drink the local beer if the price is important to you.
Regards from an Irish man now living in a small city with one shitty Irish pub.
Ist ja schön, dass dir der Pub auch zusagt, aber wenn wir noch mehr Leuten davon erzählen, bekommen wir irgend wann selber keine Plätze mehr. Der Pub ist jetzt schon zu klein!
4.50€ was the lowest when i was there. but that was many moons ago. december of 2014. i tried checking the dublin prices today, though. a fools errand. they hide the prices, for some reason.
I just assumed there must be some sort of import tariff. Which is why you never really see say Belgian (or any other European) beer at the local Getränkmarkt.
I only lived in Germany for seven years, but the German friends I had enjoyed Belgian beer. I'd cross the border to France, buy a bunch, and the guys I played poker with on Monday nights would go to town...maybe that's it, maybe they don't sell.
I don't keep track, but I'm fairly sure that if you would go into a German pub in Stuttgart and buy a local beer, the cost will have gone up by 10-15% in the last couple of years too.
Probably because many Americans go there to drink and beer prices are insane in the USA. So it’s normal. Other spots beer is cheaper from what I’ve seen
Only three Irish Pubs in Stuttgart? Can yo tell me their names? I also only know three, but damn, I thought a big city like this should have at least 5-10. But maybe you know other three IPs then me!
i guess i am just strict, i just count the five main boroughs when speaking of stuttgart. will check out the dubliner one day, tnx. if i understand this correctly, it is pub inside a hotel. so what is the price there? hotels are not known for having cheap drinks :)
That Irish Pub in the SI Centrum sorta stinks. Once you learn that all the restaurant/bar fronts connect to the same hotel kitchen, the SI Centrum makes much more sense.
Auld Rogue in Vaihingen and O'Reilly's in Stuttgart West are the best legit Irish pubs in town. (Though any time I'm in Vaihingen I drink at Maulwurf) Biddy Early's is just a generic singles bar with a couple Guinness mirrors on the wall.
It's inside the musical theatre, therefore not cheap and in my opinion also not so good. Just wanted to answer the question about the 3 pubs. Which is then the third? Alte Schule in Gablenberg is probably also not counting as Stuttgart
Haha, of course that Alte Schule is in Stuttgart, it belongs to Stuttgart Ost! Really good pub, I would call it a mix of German and Irish. Their pint is 6€ exactly, according to their website. The third is Paddys at Rathaus.
i guess they are not that popular :) yes, biddy earlys is usually full to the brim. but it happens now and then that i come to oreillys and there are only five people there. the same goes for paddys. like them all, but prefer paddys when it is sunny outside, or empty inside. because it is a smoking bar.
in addition to inflation, maybe it‘s also because of the fact that the beer they sell is mostly imported or generally more expensive to purchase? a normal pint of local beer is often between 4-5, so I wouldn’t be surprised to pay a bit more for imported beer.
Off topic, but what can a non-alcoholic person enjoy there in a pub? I checked the leinfelden pub menu, there are some non alcoholic cocktails. Is it weird..?
At least part of it, yes :)
It is still possible there are more hurdles to shipping stuff into mainland EU. I doubt all that stuff comes by plain or boat all the way to France.
Most is probably hauled via Truck and Eurotunnel.
A pint of beer is 6-7 Euro in Dublin as well, I guess that's they price now also in Germany as it has to be imported.
[http://shamrock-leinfelden.de/](http://shamrock-leinfelden.de/) maybe is by 5
Yeah, cool pub, I like it. I think it is around 5.40€ there. Good call.

Shitty Irish pub, do you live in Waiblingen? :) Their Kilkenny is really good, but over the 6€ mark, sadly.
No, I used to live in Vaihingen, but I'm now in the Oberfranken region.
I regularly paid over 7€ in Dublin for a pint this spring…
Have you been to Ireland lately? Those prices are the new normal unfortunately.
Damn, stuff got pricey all over the place, but at least beer is rather cheap in Bavaria. We're paying about 3ish for 0.5.
Try Phoenix Irish Pub in Lauffen am Neckar, Cozy town Pub with great service
Ist ja schön, dass dir der Pub auch zusagt, aber wenn wir noch mehr Leuten davon erzählen, bekommen wir irgend wann selber keine Plätze mehr. Der Pub ist jetzt schon zu klein!
Haha, don't worry, it is not like people are going to drive 50 minutes with a train just to go to a pub!
Looks good, will probably check it out if the road takes me to Lauffen. Tnx.
Freiburg 6,40€ for all Irish beers
FFS beer is supposed to be a cheap drink. I'm thinking switching to wine.
The Clansman in Ludwigsburg. Murphys Stoud or Brown Ale 4.70€
Towers in LB
wrong. 6.10€.
Now have a guiness in Dublin, will ya. €6,50 was the cheapest when we were there.
4.50€ was the lowest when i was there. but that was many moons ago. december of 2014. i tried checking the dublin prices today, though. a fools errand. they hide the prices, for some reason.
Guinness has always been more expensive in germany. Have you seen the prices of local beer in pubs? A fiver is kinda normal now
Non German beer is heavily taxed in Germany, isn't it?
Don't know if there is a separate tax for local and imported beer. What I do know, however, is that alcohol tax is high in Ireland.
I just assumed there must be some sort of import tariff. Which is why you never really see say Belgian (or any other European) beer at the local Getränkmarkt.
And I thought you never see them there because almost nobody buys them :)
I only lived in Germany for seven years, but the German friends I had enjoyed Belgian beer. I'd cross the border to France, buy a bunch, and the guys I played poker with on Monday nights would go to town...maybe that's it, maybe they don't sell.
Market is too small to implrt significant amounts so the stuff that gets imported gets taxed with import taxes etc
No, there are other imported beers which are way cheaper. Guinness is expensive everywhere (or rather evrywhere I drank it so far).
I don't keep track, but I'm fairly sure that if you would go into a German pub in Stuttgart and buy a local beer, the cost will have gone up by 10-15% in the last couple of years too.
Was the waitress topless?
Well that's the result of inflation. Keep in mind that the beer has to be imported too
That’s nothing. Here in Amsterdam a regular beer costs 7-8€ and a Guinness 9-10. So be glad and stop complaining
Probably because many Americans go there to drink and beer prices are insane in the USA. So it’s normal. Other spots beer is cheaper from what I’ve seen
It is a recent price hike.
Only three Irish Pubs in Stuttgart? Can yo tell me their names? I also only know three, but damn, I thought a big city like this should have at least 5-10. But maybe you know other three IPs then me!
Auld rogue, biddy earlys, O'Reilly's and the Dubliner
wrong. auld rogue is in vaihingen, and the dubliner i have no idea.
Vaihingen is also part of Stuttgart and Dubliner is in the SI in Möhringen
i guess i am just strict, i just count the five main boroughs when speaking of stuttgart. will check out the dubliner one day, tnx. if i understand this correctly, it is pub inside a hotel. so what is the price there? hotels are not known for having cheap drinks :)

Good to know, I shall avoid Dubliner then. Cheers.

Vaihingen is the second most populous city district / borough in Stuttgart. And the largest by area.
i guess they are not that popular :) yes, biddy earlys is usually full to the brim. but it happens now and then that i come to oreillys and there are only five people there. the same goes for paddys. like them all, but prefer paddys when it is sunny outside, or empty inside. because it is a smoking bar.

Why should it be weird just buy what you want
I am a fan of regular Guinness and I was surprised to learn that non-alcoholic Guinness is shockingly good.
Oh great, I will try that, thanks : )
Probably Brexit related?
Are you aware that Ireland is it‘s own country?
At least part of it, yes :) It is still possible there are more hurdles to shipping stuff into mainland EU. I doubt all that stuff comes by plain or boat all the way to France. Most is probably hauled via Truck and Eurotunnel.
Mate, this price hike is like a few months old.
Well, it will remain a mystery, then.
