 temple bar is full of
girls with beer by sue_stone
Quite nice by day, the cobbled streets of Temple Bar turn into a magnet at night for plenty of very drunk tourists and a fair few locals as well. By night, I read it described as 'Temple Barf' !!
There are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, so eat, drink and be merry, and soak up some Dublin culture!
Keep it comfortable and wash and wear, so you can hose yourself down! Leave a Comment

On my second visit to Dublin, I came back here in the afternoon around 3pm and again, there was a young guy playing the guitar and singing. I can't remember if it was the same one as the first time, but this one also had an amazing voice!
On my next visit to Dublin, I'll definitely check out the Quay's Bar again. Leave a Comment Theme: Live MusicDirections: Temple Bar

The night before we were taking the train to the Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Petra and I had a wander round the very touristy but great fun Temple Bar area. We spent ages looking for somewhere we both fancied eating, and there are literally hundreds of places to choose from, eventually settling for a disco diner type place where I had fish and chips and she had a burger.
Afterwards we just wandered up and down in the warm evening, watching all the other tourists and spotting other possible festival goers! We had coffee and cake in a really nice little coffee and cake place that I can't remember the name of but was opposite the Irish Film Institute where, in the upper rooms a small group of wouldbe acTORs were having elocution/voice projection lessons.. their elaborate gesticulations looked very amusing with no sound.
Later, by an outdoor seating area, we came across the Garda dealing with a stabbed Jamaican street performer incident - it had drawn crowds far larger than the poor guy could ever have hoped for with his act. Hope he was ok.

Perhaps spending an evening bar hopping in the Temple Bar area doesn't sound like the most original thing to do while in Dublin, but what I thought made it so interesting was the variety of pubs and live music that could be heard in the area - while some of the pubs remain faithful to the image we've got of a traditional Irish pub, others are definitely more modern and often feature live rock music. Very roughly, if you're in the mood for some "Molly Malone" and "Wild Rover", the area that stretches between Westmoreland St. and Eustace St. is where you'll most likely hear some flutes and fiddles. Some pubs, such as The Palace Bar (21 Fleet St.), are well known for their typical Irish music sessions; others, such as The Oliver St. John Gogarty, are more similar to Irish pubs around the world, with plenty of people (well, mostly tourists) singing along, clapping hands, and having a jolly good time! In the area that stretches between Eustace St. and Fishamble St., the pubs become gradually more modern, and you're more likely to hear live bands play some Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers (and meet more Dubliners). So overall I'd say it's worth spending at least one evening in the Temple Bar area, if only to catch some of the rustling, bustling atmosphere!

 Porterhouse Pub by Kodi01
I could not let the night go on without finding out what television station would air our pics.
We will be on French Television on Valentines Day! PLEASE look for us vt members in Paris.
Documentary is on "banning smoking in Irish Pubs"
p.s. We weren't smoking! ;o)
I would recommend dressing nice for the pub scene.
I however was pretty casual and packed light this time. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This is the table next to ours, they were meeting family and friends, which is a custom in Ireland.
Casual to nice dress should be the dress code I think. I was a bit too casual as I traveled light for the first time to Europe. Leave a Comment Theme: Adult Spot

One Irish friend of mine, who I met at the hostel, was complaining to me about the prices in the Temple Bar area of Dublin. He said that anything over 3.50 was outrageous (for a pint of Guinness). I have to agree, though for me that's an outstandingly good price. Last time I was in the States I paid about 5 euro for a pint of Guinness (and, of course, it wasn't even that good).
The Temple Bar section of town is where it's all "happening" though. Lots of students, though there are bars that cater to a slightly older crowd. There are also some touristy places (i.e. traps).
I avoided it for the most part so I don't really have any recommendations.
Whatever - as usual it depends on who you want to impress and how much. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Temple BarDirections: The highlighted section in your guidebook!

Turks Head is a stylish Bar at the west end of Temple Bar. It is a standard Pub for most of the evening but at about 11 o'clock the lower area opens and that's when you can have a blast! But remember to come early since only if you come before the dance floor opens is when the admission is free!
It is a nice place, my favorite actually from all Temple Bar Pubs. It can be very crowded however and the dancefloor is rather small, but I never heard anyone complain!
There is no dress code, but be presentable, other people have eyes too.
There is an age limit however, you have to be 18 and ID cards are required.
