Temple Bar Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Temple Bar
Temple Bar is Dublin’s best-known central cultural quarter, occupying the cobbled streets between the River Liffey, Dame Street and the city’s main shopping areas. It has a lively, urban feel, with historic buildings, galleries, theatres, restaurants and traditional pubs alongside a strong visitor economy. Living here means excellent walkability: Grafton Street, Henry Street, Capel Street, Trinity College and the IFSC are all within easy reach. The area is particularly noted for nightlife, with venues such as The Temple Bar Pub, The Porterhouse Temple Bar and The Auld Dubliner contributing to its busy evening atmosphere, while restaurants and cafés line streets including Essex Street and Crown Alley. Jervis Shopping Centre, Tesco and Currys provide convenient everyday retail nearby, and the Centre of English Studies and The Centre of English School reflect the district’s concentration of language education. Trinity College Dublin’s city-centre facilities, including its School of Nursing and Midwifery, are also close by. Residents benefit from frequent city buses, nearby Luas stops and Dublin’s central rail and DART connections, although traffic, crowds and late-night noise are characteristic of this highly active neighbourhood.
