Loud, crowded, touristy and AMAZING! Great place for a pint, some good pub food, live music and socializing with strangers. After sightseeing all day we ended up here three nights during our trip and loved every minute of it. Highly recommend visiting during your stay. Also an very cool Whisky bar right next door serving amazing whiskys!.

Went on a Monday in November and it was absolutely packed - not sure if anyone in there apart from the bar staff was from Dublin. Can only imagine how busy it gets at weekends and at busy times! Music was good and prices in line with expectation. Would go back.

We travelled all the way from Norway to try some Guinness at this venue. Its a great place to visit. But during the night we all became a little tipsy. No one remembers what happened last night, so we've decided to go back and give it another go today.

Very nice place, great bar staff and the musicians are top notch, but, here's the but! I think you need to consider as a company who you employ on your doors. I was walking taking photographs like everyone else would when one of your doormen threatened me with words like, don't even f$*ing think about it. I was a bit shocked to be honest as I was not pointing a camera in his direction.

As one would expect with most city centre locations around Europe things are more expensive. So if you are intending on going out drinking in the Temple Bar area you will expect to pay a bit more for things like drinks and meals. That said the area is really nice and there are lots of nice little shops and the cobbled streets give the area a nice charm although depending on your footwear or mobility you may struggle. I would definitely recommend visiting the area as this will give you a bit of an idea of what Dublin used to be like in the 19th Century. The majority of the area is still as it once was but you do not have to go too far to reconnect to the 21st Century. Recommended.

A visit to Dublin would never be complete without a visit to Temple Bar. Here you will find a bit of everything that might represent Ireland and Tourism combined. Here you will find Pubs packed with patrons and live musical entertainers. Add to this the abundance of souvenir retailers and eating establishments willing to provide refreshments. Mix in the hordes of attendees, and you are within a mix of discordant symmetry.

A great atmosphere and something definitely worth seeing whilst in Dublin. We often passed Temple Bar throughout our trip and it was always busy throughout the day. We did go in and had a drink and watched a couple of live songs. It’s worth going to experience but the drinks are quite pricey and it does get very busy whilst inside!

Fascinating area to visit. Many bars with live music. The Temple Bar during daytime very busy. Impossible to find a seat, but worth a quick walk through. Walking the streets you get a flavour of Irish charm.

It was fun for a visit, but for travelers wanting a quiet experience or older folks: forget it. I'd opt for the Liberties neighborhood nearby instead, and you can still walk to a pub (early in tourist season) to avoid loud and young tourists. If I sound like a get-off-my-lawn curmudgeon: yep. This neighborhood is not the place to stay the night if you want peace and quiet, but the energy is fun during the day. Some of the shopping is good, but sadly a lot of shops are nothing you won't find better elsewhere in Dublin or Ireland, generally.

Great atmosphere here and lots of little pubs and shops to see. The graffiti is really good as well so that is something to keep an eye out for. We went to a sports bar in Temple Bar and had the BEST time watching football then had a live band. Really loved this place however the price of drinks is disgusting. This is London prices without a doubt, though the service was excellent. Worth a visit but might have to remortgage…
