Dublin, Ireland: Temple Bar District; things to do

The Temple Bar District is party central,

with hip boutiques, galleries, and clubs. Many of the medieval cobbled streets are car-free.

The Temple Bar Pub

47/48 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, +353 1 672 5286/7.

A local told me, “I love heading here on a Saturday afternoon to meet loads of travelers, have a beer, and listen to some lively traditional Irish music.” Food service includes fresh oysters and sandwiches. This pub has Ireland’s largest whiskey collection, and Irish Coffee is a specialty, plus you can get some fresh air in the back beer garden.
