Why Temple Bar matters
Temple Bar is the part of Dublin that is rarely quiet. Cobbled lanes, red pub fronts and live music spilling from open doors make it the city's best-known entertainment quarter. Prices are high and it is packed with visitors, but it is still a fun place to wander, and some pubs have genuinely good music. Daytime is quieter, with galleries and food stalls.
Talking points
- Live music starts early in the pubs.
- It is busiest on weekend nights.
- The district also has galleries and a weekend food market.
