Night-Out Cost 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.
