Temple Bar
When you picture Dublin, you likely picture Temple Bar. With its narrow cobblestone streets, vibrant street performers, and the sound of traditional fiddle music drifting from open doors, this is the undeniable energy center of the city. But Temple Bar is more than just a place to grab a pint of Guinness. It is a district layered with history, art, and culture. To truly understand what makes this neighborhood tick, you need to look—and listen—beyond the crowds. Here is your guide to the best things to do in Temple Bar and how to unlock its secrets with Dublin Guide Pass.
Snap a Photo at "The Temple Bar" Pub
It’s the most famous facade in Ireland. The bright red exterior, hanging flower baskets, and fairy lights make The Temple Bar Pub a must-visit for photographers. While it is often packed, stepping inside for the atmosphere is a rite of passage for any visitor.
Hunt for Vinyl and Vintage Books
Temple Bar is the cultural quarter of Dublin. On weekends, the Temple Bar Book Market takes over Barnardo Square, offering rare finds for bookworms. Wander a bit further, and you’ll find hidden vintage clothing stores and record shops that local Dubliners love.
Explore the Art Scene
Escape the noise of the pubs at the Temple Bar Gallery + Studios or the Irish Film Institute. These spots remind visitors that this neighborhood was revived in the 1990s specifically to be a cultural hub for artists and creatives.
Walk Through History (Don’t Just Walk Past It)
Did you know that Temple Bar was once a medieval Viking settlement? Or that in the 1980s, the city planned to demolish the entire area to build a central bus station? The architecture you see today was saved by the citizens of Dublin. Every brick and alleyway here has a story, but you won't find them on a menu.
