Yes, I suppose it is "touristy" but I was a tourist and I loved it. Was afraid it was going to be a bunch of young and crazy drunks roaming the streets and of course there was a bit of that, but overall it was great fun. Excellent trad music in both Oliver St John Gogarty's and the Temple Bar... more

It's no wonder that we are being called 'Rip Off Ireland' and our tourist industry is suffering as a result. Last monday nite myself and my boyfriend went to the popular Temple Bar Pub in the heart of Temple Bar. We ordered a West Coast Cooler and a bottle of Budweiser and it came to €13.00!!!!! €6.50 each! that's crazy!!!!!... more

We went to Temple Bar a few nights. The bars are crowded, and we sometimes had trouble getting drinks. The people are mostly under 30. Good for people watching. more

We stayed for 4 nights (over New Year 08/09) at Fitzsimons Hotel and yes, it was lively, sometimes a little noisy, but hey, the atmosphere was always friendly and congenial. A 24/7 street cleaning operation means that this area is a pleasure to visit and stay. The staff at the hotel could not have been more helpful. Temple Bar has... more

I visited temple bar recently, and yes, it is a definite rip off for bar prices, 12 euro (£9 then) for a guiness and vody and lemon, a bloody scandle, many immigrants begging and people looking out of their heads on drugs, the local taxi drivers agree, go to other side of the river, or 400 yards away from tb... more

If you've ever been to Bourbon Street in the New Orleans French Quarter, then you'll see nothing new in the Temple Bar area. Lots of people walking around drinking and smoking, young people looking to meet other young people for the night, overpriced drinks and food, etc. If you must go, you'll either love the "college frat party" atmosphere, or... more

We walked through the area 2 or 3 times and had a great time, but we were a little bit older than the crowd. It's crowded and fun. Arrive earlyish if you want to stake out a table at a bar to hear music- it gets really really crowded. We just had fun strolling with our ice cream, watching street... more

When this area first became popular it was alot of fun. Now it is packed with tourists, which is not necessarily a bad thing since I'm a toursit when I go there, but the pubs, like the Oliver St. John Gogarty, try and pass themselves off as old pubs when they are actually new pubs trying to have the atmosphere... more

I have just come back from a girls weekend in Temple Bar Dublin. We had a fantastic time, the Irish are so friendly. The bars were indeed packed but with everyone having fun. We didn't meet any obnoxious people or see any remnants of drunks! I would say though that if you are after a truely Irish experience you definitely... more
