No matter your age, this is the place to go in Dublin. I was in a group and we had a lot of fun. Visit during the day to see the fantastic facades of the pubs, and the small markets in the streets.

Me and a friend stopped here last year on St. Patrick's.. It was obviously crowded with loads of fun people around. Would definitely go there again, totally recommend it. Loved the music as well, good choice. I love Irish pubs so if you do you will totally love this place. Fantastic evening the bar was alive :)

I don't think you can go to Dublin without visiting the Temple Bar district and visiting the Temple Bar. Grab a pint of Guinness and enjoy the atmosphere. Loved it.

What's not to like about Temple Bar? Lovely atmosphere, great food, Hard Rock Cafe, Wall of Fame - well worth a visit and don't forget to throw a penny from the Ha'Penny Bridge before ou walk through Merchants Close.

As this is a walk around place, you get a real feeling of people from all around the World having a great time, a bit of a rip off in the pubs a night as the put the prices up every hour after 10pm, otherwise it is fine,

This bar, is such a great place to go to dance and have a great time. The music was wonderful! The beer amazing. It was so busy! It almost got a bit too busy nearing the end of our evening, you couldn't move.

Food, fun, food, fun, shopping, fun, food, shopping, food, shopping, food, fun. Oh...and food.....and, uh,fun..... You get the idea. Resteutants seem clustered by cuisine, area of origin. Pubs with free live traditional music & dance abound. A rollicking good time.
