Capture Dublin's street culture at Temple Bar, a former slum now recognized for its vibrant nightlife. In the 1980s this neighborhood on the south bank of the Liffey River offered cheap rent to artists and young entrepreneurs, and quickly became the city's foremost cultural quarter. The neighborhood's cobbled streets offer family-friendly attractions during the day, including shops, restaurants, and galleries. After dark this riverside neighborhood transforms into a magnet for rowdy partygoers, attracted by the quarter's many pubs and bars. If daylight activities seem a bit more appealing, visit one of the area's four markets, offering everything from rare books and vintage clothes to organic foods and decorative arts.

  • Beer and Music, what else are you visiting Ireland for? Yea its a tourist trap, but it's a tourist trap for a reason. Its worth a song, and a pint or two, really it is.

  • It’s worth a visit just to say you have been but it’s mainly just a drinking strip really, some really cool pubs and iconic bars but massively over priced.
