Dublin neighbourhood deltas

Directional neighbourhood premiums and discounts versus the Dublin city average.

Savings opportunities

Story-ready comparisons where switching area or neighbourhood baseline lowers the modeled night-out cost.

Representative pub links

Evidence links for checking current pub-level reports behind the index.

Methodology caveats

  • Latest-price averages use one current Guinness or pint report per pub, not every historical submission.
  • Areas only appear in the indexed rankings when the underlying cost-area layer marks them as meeting its priced-pub threshold.
  • Dublin neighbourhood deltas are directional where sample sizes are small; they are useful for story leads, not venue-by-venue guarantees.
  • Night-out totals assume 2 people, 3 pub stops, and 2 rounds at each stop.
  • Representative pub links are evidence trails into current GetPint pub pages and can change as fresher reports arrive.
