Jim Petes Pub in Galway is offering Guinness at its original price to celebrate 80 years in business.
Jim Petes Pub in Glenamaddy, Galway is celebrating its 80th anniversary with a unique promotion. This weekend, patrons will be able to enjoy a pint of Guinness for just 5 cents for an hour on both Saturday and Sunday. The special offer, running from 8pm to 9pm on Saturday and 6pm to 7pm on Sunday, commemorates the pub's opening price in 1944. Second-generation publican James Keaveney expressed his gratitude to the community for their unwavering support over the decades.
He emphasized the pub's deep connection to the local community, stating that Jim Petes has been a constant presence for countless life events, from christenings to funerals. Keaveney believes that the pub's longevity is a testament to the strong bonds forged within the community.The promotion comes amidst a challenging time for the Irish pub industry, facing rising costs and increasing pressure. Recent price hikes on Diageo products, including Guinness, have added further strain on publicans already struggling to stay afloat. The Vintners’ Federation of Ireland (VFI) has criticized the price increases, calling for government support and urging suppliers to recognize the unique challenges faced by the sector. Keaveney, however, remains optimistic, viewing the promotion as a way to celebrate the community and reaffirm the pub's vital role in local life
