The Temple Bar

Dirty and overpriced. Staff is extremely rude and poorly trained.

THE well-known typical pub welcomes you in a festive atmosphere, with live music, around a Bailey’s or a pint of Guinness. The opportunity to meet a lot of people from different countries! Very touristy and often overcrowded, this pub has the recipe which allows you to enjoy your nights in Dublin !

People of the UK and rest of Europe,avoid temple bar and all its pubs!the price of drink is scandalous!Hit places like The Mercintile,Whelans,The Bleeding Horse!
All within walking distance,cheaper and REAL IRISH PUBS

If you visit Dublin you have to go there for sure!! A typical place to sip on a good Guinness with your friends!!!

Nice pub, good atmosphere. Went in here twice, a Friday afternoon.....full of tourists and people generally getting in the way, and a Sunday lunch time....much quieter, music was blues and no full of foreigners! If you sit too close to the window you're likely to end up in 100,000 photos and it can be of putting!

Have a HUGE range of sandwiches, but like subway only they taste nice in here!

Just the name makes it a must see!

Good old irish pub! Great people, very friendly, nice staff and everyone is so happy! You even get random people dancing about with you its great! Nice place, loved the decor. Wish I was there now- and it would be great if the atmosphere in pubs back home were like this!

Tourists aside its a pretty good pub. well run, friendly and a kind of flag ship for the area.

Well, it's the Temple Bar in - ta-daa - Temple Bar. The outside of this establishment must have been photographed as often as the pints in the Gravity Bar. It's a traditional pub that mostly (only?) caters to tourists. "Traditional" Irish live music every night, and the pint and Irish Coffee prices rival the ones of the nearby 5-star Clarence Hotel. They do pour a decent pint of Guinness, but you'll find public houses with more atmosphere within a radius of 500 metres.

Class bar, the craic is mighty and there is a great mix from all over the world, a little pricey but worth it, rarely a bad night in there

Hence the name, this pub is obviously one of the originals in Temple Bar. It's traditional, authentic and easily crowded. Among the many wall enhancements, you will find tidbits of history and plenty of old pictures of Dublin back in the day! The cost for drinks does exceed a budget, however one or two drinks here before a pub crawl are acceptable and well worth it; you'll love the Irish vibe. The bartenders are unreal and so nice, and it's a perfect location for a night out in Dublin city!

I was very fond of the pulse of this place as it throbbed with people on a Saturday night. The music promises cheese which is great as you can sing along while you're queueing at the bar or just ploughing through thr crowds to get to the two little smoking gardens oddly (but prettily) plonked in the centre.

If you're after a quiet place to sip your pint this certainly isn't the palce for you and if you're coming across with pounds prepare to be taken aback by the cost of the pints - 4 half pints of and a glass of wine were nearly 30 Euro and when we went across the exchange rate was 1 for 1.

Nice vibe, friendly atmosphere, and a good night but there is a tendency of it getting too full and I probably would try it on a different night.

On Temple Bar, like Leicester Square in London, you would expect most places to be overly expensive, cheesy and touristy and while this pub pulls in a great crowd I think this place is actually pretty decent and authentic. For a good pint of Guinness and some suitable Irish folk music look no further.

This bar is a good place to come to at weekends, The craic does be good and the music, the only thing is it can get full of tourist during the summer months

a very nice place to hang out and have fun!

From the minute the door opens, until the bouncers kick yu out, this pub is heaving. You can’t move, you can’t breathe, but you can’t bring yourself to leave either. The staff are amazing, remembering your orders without you having to tell them, and the place is kept clean and tidy throughout the day and night.

There’s always live music, and it’s good. The atmosphere is bouncing, and the prices, while expensive, are not the worst Dublin has to offer.

we called into this bar on a friday afternoon around 5pm, & you’d be fooled for thinking it was 8-9pm saturday night
the place was truly swinging
live music, busling activity, a really great 'craik’
be warned however, any later & the place is truly heaving!!!

The Temple Bar pub is located in the heart of Temple Bar and is ideally located there for tourists. It is a Irish theme pub with traditional Irish music played there every night. It gets very busy on a Saturday night, so be prepared for this.

love it although alot of beggers around day and night watch your bags!

If you go to Dublin and head to Temple Bar then you will inevitably end up here somewhere along the drunken pilgrimage of your pub crawl.
The whole Temple Bar strip is quite expensive, although being the main tourist destination that’s to be expected.
Plenty of stags and hens in here - like pretty much everywhere in Dublin, this place has a real atmosphere, the cacophony of local and cosmopolitan dialects like drunken hornets in their nests…
Recommended, and no finer place to spill out of once you’ve had one too many

Please drink sensibly though;-)

The Temple Bar seems popular by default. It is centrally located in the Temple Bar area, and having the same name as the most touristy area in Dublin has put it in good stead. I do think it is a good place for live music, but in a city that prides itself on the underground sounds of its culture often times playing here means you have “sold out”. For value for money and a bit of space, never mind an actual Irish national insight, I think a look through the windows is enough to say you’ve been there!
