I have been and prices are rising all the time. I get the impression that they are now fed-up with drunks. When i first started going there a pint (0.5 lt) was 60p now it 1.50. Its nice, women look great and worth going. And then you can decide if its worth going again. But as always, be careful you dont get ripped off as they do try.

went at easter

cheap yes

bars 24/7!

we stopped at central hostel which was out of the old town but cheap and a great location, i was ok as with b/f but wouldn't want to do it on my own or a group of girls. Fun friendly franks is one of the best in the world, not sure on location but a mate of a mate has stopped there and recommended it. try hostelworld.

HTH - ask any more Q's

prices are rising all the time.

Some places are cheap, some are expensive.

Starting to get the feeling they are fed up of stag doos etc.

Also watch yourself, as most of it is run by the mafia.

If you stay in groups and dont act a fool then you will be ok.
