The whole of the 'Temple Bar' area is very expensive - try moving just a little outside, prices soon go down, quality up too... Leave a Comment

Purely a personal opinion of course. The shaded area on the map is where all tourists are sent (Temple Bar), the remaining area on the map is where all tourists should go! Leave a Comment

Temple Bar is supposed to be THE place for nightlife. I found many of the bars full of attitude and tourist hype. Beware of the ones which peddle their own T-shirts! Leave a Comment

This is where it's at if you are going to Dublin for a crazy drinking weekend. It's always packed and there's always something going on. But keep in mind that it's a rip off for tourists. Drinks and food are very expensive, you will find vomiting on the floor and it's way too crowded. There are better places to go, I think it's awful. It's still got a good pub or two though, but that's about it. Leave a Comment

I was quite reluctant to go to the Temple Bar after reading so many opinions on tourists throwing up on the streets and so many violent episodes of thiefs and stuff like that. I have to say I loved the Temple Bar. Maybe because I was there during mid-week and not on a weekend night but I didn't see anybody throwing up on the streets, no students, many tourists and also many dubliners too. So many restaurants to choose from and sooo many pubs and bars. We went to a couple of restaurants there (the bad ass and fritzers, the first one incredible and not that expensive (try the hamburgers), the second very good too (try the fish n chips) but more expensive than the 1st one) and also to a couple of pubs. They both had live irish music and waiters were so friendly; they were full of people and we had a great time there. It's a must see in Dublin, definetely.

It's very hard to avoid Temple Bar, if you're staying in Downtown Dublin. At night it is mostly non-distinct dance clubs full of sharky men and drunk tourists. If you're looking for a low-key place to drink a pint and listen to some good music, try your luck outside of the Temple Bar District.
If you cannot avoid Temple Bar, at least go in the daytime. It is a much more interesting mix of bookshops, boutiques and cafes. Toward the end of March, there was a great open air market with the most delicious, fresh goat cheese ever.

Many people talk about Temple Bar as a big tourist trap. I am not sure. Temple Bar is not more expensive than other touristic place in the european capital cities. The restaurants are good and cleans, with good service, the pubs very nice with live music and a intimate ambient. Yes, I know that in the outside of the cities all is cheaper (in my supermarket too) but I recommend Temple Bar to people visiting Dublin.
If you think the pint are expensive drink just one, if you meet expensive the foods in restaurant go to Mac Donald but dont miss the touristic taste of Temple Bar. They dont say the live music is folkloric one, is only music to spend the night. If you read dubliners dont go to Temple Bar may be (I dont visit the touristic zones of my island either because they are more expensive).
Deffinitively, for me, different from many I had read before visit Dublin TEMPLE BAR ISNT A TOURIST TRAP. Visite it and enjoy. Leave a Comment

Temple Bar is a hub for creative a wacky people during the day time but it turns into a ASBO converer belt as the night progresses.
Keep it for lunch and shopping, or Hen / Stag nights only! x
Go to South William street / Camden st area instead, much more laid back and genuinely DUBLIN

Temple Bar. This 'cultural' area is totally packed during the summer months, especially in the evenings. The area looked more like a pub area to me… Well, that’s culture also, of course. Anyhow, Temple Bar was probably the biggest disappointment in Dublin. Leave a Comment
