Dublin’s most famous district is Temple Bar, a lively area where Irish pubs dominate the streetscape. If there is one thing the Irish are good at, it is drinking. From around three o’clock, the terraces and pavements in front of the pubs start to get crowded. Here you can drink beers and eat typical Irish pub food. You don’t drink a glass of wine here, but oysters and Guinness. Most pubs in the Temple Bar district offer that golden combination.

The most famous pub in this district is The Temple Bar Pub itself. The Temple Bar Pub is a proud family pub in the heart of Dublin. It is famous for its unparalleled craic and service, incredible all-day traditional Irish music and its extensive whisky and beer collections.
