Must see this is an iconic bar ! The bartenders pour a perfect pint every time. Lively musicians and friendly people. Many great spots to snap a photo. The beers a bit pricey ,memories are priceless.

Patrick Pease

Don't be put off by a local dubliner putting this place down. Sure it's crowded , and the pints are a bit pricey . The place is gorgeous, live music always on point and the crowd always lovely!

HostelGO

No trip to Dublin is complete without a trip to Temple Bar . It is on the touristy side, but a lot of fun none the less. This pub is a great place to have a few pints to start the night.

Enis Aksoy

The area is called TempleBar!Definetely you must have drink in TempleBar!Visit the road in front you will see more old traditional bars !Visit Temple Bar Music Hall next to it for good live rock music .

Todd Bida

Lots of great music in Dublin and yes it's cliché, but there is a reason why this place is so popular. Don't miss its great energy.

Nicole Mills

If you're visiting Dublin, The Temple Bar is a must. It gets very busy, but it's an icon, so make time for a drink. Lovely Whisky and Cigar bar on the side. Outdoor & indoor seating, great live music .

Fabian Martin

Very famous pub that lives up to the hype. Beautiful interior , live music every day and good vibes overall. Worth a visit

Faith

The world famous ham with caramelized onions and roasted garlic is so flavorful and yummy! But if you're really hungry order a side as it doesn't come with one (besides two squares of cake !)

Alan Brutenic

This great pub is the focal point of the Temple Bar area. A truly historic pub with live traditional music , excellent oysters and whiskies , heated beer garden and excellent atmosphere and service.

BC ????????

Live music , beers , people watching , enormous inside, and friendly staff . A must if in Temple Bar area. There will be a wait, but it's not too long.

Adam Oliver

Very busy at the weekend. If your looking for a touristy bar with traditional music , this is the place to be. Great buskers around the area at the weekend. The area is buzzing and worth a visit.

Pilgrim ????

Come early if you want a seat/standing spot anywhere near the stage where the live music is. The place however is huge with people even outside around it having s couple beers .

Arthur Chafonov

Nice and real Irish pub experience. Live music , singers , Irish and British beer . Also it's very touristic place. #visit, #pub , #beer , #music

Ufuk Şentürk

It is such a mad and emusing bars in the world.You can enjoy the music and drinks all the time.Different groups play everyday.The most amusing times are after midnight until closing.

Abhishek Shahapurkar

Its crowded yet lively . Good for Irish beers ; you can order half a pint so that you can try and taste most of them. Expensive than other bars but you're paying for the ambience and live music .

Matteo Penzo

Very very lovely exteriors during Xmas season. Extremely crowded inside, try booking a table in advance.

Onur Öke

Only friendly people seem to come here :) I got to chat with many people from many different countries within a short time period and beer was not bad either :)

Наталья Прекрасная

I don't know why it is so popular. Quite regular bar . Bars around are nice too. I prefer smaller cozier bars be honest. ????

Vadym Khondar

Very nice place with atmosphere. The choice of sandwiches is overwhelming. Do I need to talk about beers ? Live music is also great. Come, you'll gonna like it!

Sammie Alsop ????

Original Irish pub in heart of Temple Bar...the salmon is totally delicious!!

Gül M.

The Temple Bar rocks with not only its live music , but also delicious food and drinks! Must and best pub in Dublin ! ;)

Barefoot Gypsy

Bar is always packed but people are friendly . Enjoy a Guinness in the beer garden area. You can still hear the band and it's a lovely view

GowithOh

One of the most famous bars in all of Ireland, the 160 year old Temple Bar in Dublin!

Assyl Tobakabulov

As all the tips and recommendations say, it's an excellent bar to taste Irish beers and wide range of whiskies . Ham plate perfectly complements your drink.

Matthias

No Dublin visit without going to the original Temple Bar and the Temple Bar Area... If you haven't been here, your Dublin trip is incomplete... ????

Hernan Jaramillo

Although tourist , the multiple sections and ample selection of whiskey will make you forget who is around

Barry Bristow

Well worth a visit, live music every night. One of the best pints of Guinness in Dunlin although slightly pricier than some other pubs

Lina B.

Very lively and crowded especially during the weekend, but lots of fun and a great place to hang out and listen to music

Luana

nice pub in temple bar area. We entered and sat without even taking something to drink and nobody bothered us for occupying a place :) nice live irish music !

Bella La

Very crowded and touristic place and also expensive (up to 7€ / beer ) but obviously a must see - good music , nice staff .

Phoebe Johnson

Quite pricey but amazing atmosphere, can not visit Dublin without popping in to check out the live music .

I Wanna Go There

Official winners of traditional Irish music pub of the year award 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. You see this pub in every advert for Dublin. Tourist mecca, kinda boring or something Read more

Lewis Smith

If it's crowded 'table' 15's a good bet if you want somewhere to rest your Guinness . Massive sandwich and whisky menu. Great atmosphere!

KT Florida

Classic & historic bar ! But don't expect to be able to order food when it's busy or late afternoon, instead come earlier if you want food.

TempleBar Tradfest

It's no surprise that this place has been going for over 160 years. They've won the Irish Music pub of the year 8 years running, staffs are really & full of info. Make sure you try their oysters !

Foosh .

Friendly staff . Fun vibes. Nice beers . Expensive.

Andrey Smuglin

Wide range of beer ; live music ; Temple Bar whiskey :) What’s else? Oh! You ca smoke at beer garden !

Derek Flanzraich

Sure Guinness is more expensive here, but the ambiance is epic and the people are interesting. Introduce yourself to someone new!

Rick Doesburg

Amazing place, great live music , everyone is friendly . Met lots of people from all over the world!

Rachael Wood

Amazing atmosphere - proper Dublin. Or at least what my brain thought Dublin should be about. Loved it.

Yilin Z

Since everyone was talking about Temple Bar , I thought it must be overrated and filled with tourists . However I was pleasantly surprised by the amicable beer garden ambience. Glad I stopped by.

Christopher Sandøy

There'll probably be a party going on here whatever day you visit. Good place to visit on a boozy night, but I wouldn't go there to get the authentic Dublin pub-feel.

Pigu

Touristy and expensive but fun! Friendly staff . Worth one visit and a couple of drinks but that's it if you're on a budget.

Cheryl Nguyen

Amazing for live music . The bands mix uo traditional Irish n pop w/ a twist. Locals and internationals here. Always busy. Good drinks too!

Jamie

Very busy on a Saturday night, but was still a good night. Live music , very irish feel to it. Definitely worth a visit, which ever day you come.

Tracy Dinan

Cheeseboard and Chili nuts was a great lunch ! The pizza looked really good. Bartenders were super nice! They will take USD
