“milkshake of beers”, no, sorry, nobody in Ireland calls it that.

Also, Harp Lager is pretty difficult to find in Dublin nowadays, even more so on tap. Maybe in the poorer inner city areas but sure you wouldn’t want to be going there as a tourist anyway.

“Irish Whiskey Punch (or a Hot Toddy)” No, no, no, no….ask a barman in Ireland for that and he probably won’t know what you’re on about. We call it a Hot Whiskey, simple as that.

Do you think it’s necessary to tell people not to tip? if service is good then people should always give the barstaff a token of appreciation. Don’t tip taxi drivers though, they earn a fortune in Dublin and if they tell you otherwise they’re lying.

To go bóg e….that’s Irish for take it easy 🙂
