Temple Bar Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Temple Bar
Temple Bar is Dublin’s compact cultural quarter on the south bank of the River Liffey, centred on cobbled streets between Dame Street, Parliament Street and Wellington Quay. Although famous for nightlife and tourism, it also contains apartments, offices, galleries, language schools and Trinity College facilities, giving the area a busy, mixed urban character. Residents have immediate access to restaurants, cafés and traditional pubs, including well-known venues such as The Temple Bar Pub, The Porterhouse Temple Bar and Gallagher’s Boheme Bistro. Shopping is particularly convenient, with Jervis Shopping Centre, Tesco and the wider Henry Street and Mary Street retail areas within an easy walk, while Currys provides nearby electronics shopping. Education nearby includes Trinity College Dublin’s School of Nursing and Midwifery and language-focused establishments such as the Centre of English Studies and The Centre of English School. The locality is highly walkable and well placed for buses, with rail, Luas and major city-centre routes accessible around Abbey Street, the quays and College Green; Stop & Shop is also identified locally as a nearby transport-related point. Leisure and culture are major strengths, with the National Photographic Archive, Project Arts Centre, Irish Film Institute and nearby Dublin Castle adding to the area’s distinctive appeal. Temple Bar is lively and convenient but can be noisy and crowded, particularly at weekends and during events, while parks and quieter residential streets are generally found a short walk beyond the quarter.
