I know, I know, every Dubliner will tell me that Temple Bar is not the real Dublin, but somehow every person visiting the city wants to find out for himself. I went to Temple Bar twice. The first time on a Sunday evening when pubs were full, when there was a hen party going on and when it was, in my eyes, indeed NOT fun! I came back the second time on a weekday around 5pm and had a drink in one of the pubs, listening to a young guy playing the guitar, when it wasn't crowded at all. I liked this Temple Bar very much. So I guess, it all depends on the moment. But I agree that, even if you like Temple Bar, you should get out of it sometime and discover one of the nice, more traditional pubs!
