With millions of tourists rushing through its doors every year in anticipation of sipping their first 'real' Irish Guinness, the Temple Bar Pub has secured it's place as one of the most famous places in Dublin.
However the pub has also generated a fair amount of backlash over the inflated prices - with one tourist revealing the staggering amount he paid for just five pints of the famous black stout.
Established in 1840, the iconic boozer features live music throughout opening hours and offers tourists an authentic Irish pub experience.

Or as Irish as you can get while surrounded by crowds of other tourists snapping selfies.
The pub's cult status amongst visitors to the Irish capital means it shouldn't come as a surprise that drinks are ridiculously expensive, as one very unlucky punter recently found out.
A photo of the eye-watering bill was shared by X account PintsO'Guinness on 23 January and revealed that a pint of Guinness in the Temple Bar Pub is currently going for a whopping €9.95 (£8.33) a pint.
The group knocked back five pints of the good stuff - totalling almost €50 (£41.91) - as well as ordering a single pint of Guinness' Harp Lager for €10.95 (£9.16).

The hefty bill also included a drink of Baileys and Smirnoff vodka, we're hoping this included mixer, for €10.85 (£9) and €9.95 (£8.33) respectively. Add on another €4.45 (£3.72) for what we assume is water and the group were faced with a bill totalling €85.95 (£71.93).
But hey, at least you get a nice photo for your Instagram!
It's not like nearly €10 is the going price for a Guinness in Dublin either, with the average price of a pint in the Irish capital estimated to be around €5.77 (£4.83) on average.
In fact, there are also numerous establishments in the city which offer the black stuff for less than €5, so paying nearly double is certainly a choice.
Social media users were equally flabbergasted by the prices, branding the pub a 'rip off' the comments.

"My old man is spinning in his grave," one person commented, while another wrote: "Bloody expensive pint of Guinness."
The outrage didn't end there either, as others were even more shocked about the fact that a pint of Harp lager would cost more than a Guinness.
"I’m more concerned about the price of the Harp," one person said.
"Have you seen the price of Guinness and even worse the Harp Lager I mean its Harp for crying out loud," a second added, while others suggested that Temple Bar Pub was more of a tourist attraction than your average pub.
