It should be common knowledge by now that you need to either sell a kidney or take out a mortgage to enjoy a night in Dublin's famous Temple Bar...
Yet this still doesn't stop people being stunned when they see the receipt for several rounds of drinks and realise they'll be spending the rest of the month living on a diet which resembles wartime rations.
Originally opening its doors back in 1840, the boozer boasts about playing traditional Irish music from doors open to last orders and offering customers a wide range of alcoholic drinks to enjoy which, of course, includes Ireland's finest Guinness.
There's also a life-size statue of Irish author James Joyce hanging out at one of the tables, just in case you've somehow forgotten what country you're in.

Well, all the above and more could be yours for the small price of fighting through groups of tourists and draining your life savings for a few drinks of Guinness.
And this is certainly what one poor lad experienced lately.
Shared on X by a user named Ryan (@Ryan_AVFCC), his post went viral after people couldn't believe he'd been charged a whopping €107 (£90) for his drinks.
Take a look at his devastating bill below:
The receipt included a steep €11.45 (£9.73) for a pint of Heineken and €68 (£57) on six shots of Baby Guinness.
Break those figures down even further and you realise that a single shot of Baby Guinness is just Baileys and Kahlúa, which is truly a sobering moment.
DublinLive also pointed out that a 70cl bottle of Malibu from a local supermarket would cost around €17.50 (£14.88) while two shots from Temple Bar would set you back €22.70 (£19).
Despite Temple Bar's pricey reputation social media users were still floored by the prices, with one person replying: "I’d never check my bank app again."
"Pint of beer for over £11? Absolute joke," a second wrote, while a third added: "Dublin is brutal. Did 82 euros on 4 gin & tonics last year."

"Temple Bar is the biggest tourist trap known to man. Get yourself in one of the bars a couple streets away and price drops massively," advised one user. "Why would you ever go to the temple bar, biggest tourist trap ever," a second wrote.
"The Temple Bar pub should charge people even more. F**k it, €30 a pint, another joked.
It's also worth pointing out that Temple Bar includes a note at the end of their receipts which states that drinks prices include a 23% excise duty tax, as well as a 'live music and cover charge'.
