One of the most popular places in Ireland's capital city of Dublin is Temple Bar, known for its traditional music, lively nightlife, many pubs, tasty restaurants and artistic vibe. Temple Bar is a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. In fair weather, you will see thousands of people out on the streets standing or sitting on the pavement with a pint in hand, having a grand time.
The sidewalks are mobbed and the pubs are packed. Sure, it can get a little rowdy and noisy with all that Guinness flowing. But don't worry, this area is very safe, night and day, with people out just to have a good time. It is one big street party.
There's no doubt this is a place with a lively atmosphere created by lots of people day and night, giving it a unique, energetic character. If you're looking for a tranquil evening in a quiet neighborhood, there are many other parts of Dublin that will make you happy. But if you're up for some fun, come on over to Temple Bar.
And it's also a good place to have dinner, where you'll find a more peaceful atmosphere inside the restaurant. There are usually a few locals around, but granted this is a touristic place and there are many good reasons why visitors flock here. So don't come to Dublin and avoid it because you think it's a tourist trap. This is a fun, authentic place with much to offer.
There is kind of a temple bar for locals, and that's across the street over on Dame Lane, where you'll find the Dubliners out, enjoying themselves in their pubs outdoors, having a drink and a chat. But hardly any tourists. This is only a block away from Temple Bar, a place where you might strike up a conversation with the locals.
While Temple Bar is famous for its nightlife, the area also has a daytime charm, when it takes on a different character with the restaurants and shops, and many of the pubs still offering live music. That thriving music scene is one of the best features of Temple Bar. Creating a lively and energetic atmosphere, traditional Irish music with its soul stirring melodies and foot tapping rhythms can be heard echoing through the streets.
It's usually a fiddle and guitar with some singing, but these music sessions often involve a variety of traditional instruments like the bodhran, the Irish drum, tin whistle and accordion, creating an unforgettable ambiance that captivates locals and tourists alike. You will also hear music from many street performers, so stop a while and listen and be generous with your tip if you like what you hear.
These streets serve as an open stage for musicians, ranging from solo performers to small bands of various qualities to express their art and connect with passersby. Street music can serve as a platform for aspiring musicians to gain exposure and support themselves, perhaps using it as a launching pad for their careers while refining their skills and building a fan base.
Music continues late into the night, enhancing the city's renowned nightlife and contributing to the energetic ambiance and vibrant atmosphere of Dublin's streets.
Perhaps the most famous and most photographed music pub is the Temple Bar Pub, itself, a true institution in the neighborhood, with its cozy interiors adorned with vintage photographs and memorabilia. The pub offers an exciting Irish experience. If you're a fan of Irish music and a good pint of Guinness, you're in for a treat.
The Temple Bar Pub is one of Dublin's most iconic and well-known establishments, perhaps the most famous pub in Ireland.
i love my town , Thank you for all your beautiful videos.
Thank you!
Long live Ireland
Went in Sept 2016, was able to walk I felt like most of Dublin, I suppose. Great time at Temple bar area. I remember liking the Palace bar nearby. Thanks for your insight. New subscriber!
Para mí el país más bonito y Magico es Irlanda, haber ido a conocerlo fue el viaje más bonito qué hecho en mi vida volveré ❤❤❤❤❤
Temple Bar is only popular with tourists because it was specifically manufactured for them by Dublin City Council in the 1990s. You won't find any locals there, except perhaps for the pickpockets. How do I know this? Because I used to work there in a studio before we were kicked out to make way for the moneygouging tourist traps. Even the cobblestoned streets were manufactured by removing them from the Northside of the city.
Is it busy on Tuesdays? I'm going in July on a Tuesday.
going here in April :)
These "locals" drinking Heineken 😂
Templebar is a tourist trap, locals do not drink there.
Who cares, tourists go in get their free 15 minutes of music on camera and leave!

I watch as many of your European videos as I can. Thank you Dennis.
So nice of you -- glad you like them.
24 euros for bowl stew joke
I remember this place before it was turned into a tourist haunt designed especially for to rip off tourists. Drinks there are double the price and food is also very expensive. Not typical of Irish Tradition Sessions. Its a rip off location ..Only locals that have won the lotto would think of wasting their money there. There are much nicer places.
Thank you for your local perspective. It is true Temple Bar is more expensive, but that the is the price of admission to this little entertainment hot spot, like a ticket at the door. A pint of Guiness, and a restaurant meal, are about 30% higher there, not exactly lottery level, and you get the entertainment for free.
There is no charge if you are just walking around, dropping into pubs and listening to music -- no cover charge anywhere. Sure you can find other music pubs in Dublin, but not in this concentration, and going all day long into the wee hours. I did make it clear, this is a place for tourists, who seem to love it.
I hope you watched towards the end where I showed old Temple Bar in 1992, with locals-only sitting in large groups on the sidewalk, with cars going by on the main lane.
In sum, your claim that drinks are double is wrong, not 100% more, but yes, 30% more, to be expected in any tourist area in the world.
A pint of beer is over 10 euro and can be got for 5 to 5.50 euro in other good traditional pubs..The music is also murdered through amplification with nobody listening. As a person that lives in Dublin I wouldn't go near the place if I was paid. This place was especially manufactured for the tourist and in particular the "yanks"...Another thing to bare in mind the prices of the drinks go up and up depending on the time of night. I remember one establishment nearby where American Tourists used to frequent the barman used to actually stand on the counter and harass Americans to buy drink as they walked in the door.

OK. we got it already, you made your point, you don't have to go there. I'm sure you have many other favorite places with better prices and music, so you are most welcome to stay away from Temple Bar, but at the same time, show a little Irish hospitality for the tourist, who has money to spend and not much time or knowledge to find your watering holes. So they spend a few extra euro, walk around in this touristic, but very attractive place, like a little village in town, and enjoy the music. which in on all day in some of the pubs, very convenient.
As I say in the video "If you're looking for a tranquil evening in a quiet neighborhood, there are many other parts of Dublin that will make you happy. But if you're up for some fun, come on over to Temple Bar."
and
"Then wander about and explore the area. Dublin has nearly 800 pubs to discover more per capita than any other city in the world."
And I take you to adjacent Dame Street, "a big, busy road with many restaurants such as Millstone, fine dining in an elegant setting at a reasonable price. For example, lunch is currently about 12 euro."
As a seasoned traveler who has frequently been to Dublin, and most other popular cities of Europe, I enjoy Temple Bar very much and encourage other visitors to give it a try.
@@denniscallan great video! I’ve been to Dublin once, and asked the taxi driver to drop us off at Temple Bar area and he tried to talk us out of it, saying it’s not “the real Dublin”. While I can appreciate what he was trying to tell us, I wanted to experience what I wanted.
As an American, we work hard to spend our money on vacations to experience the ‘must see’ touristic places and I was pleased with my experience in Dublin. I’d love to go back and see the “local” side of Dublin one day.
That said, I’d never discourage a tourist vacationing in Southern California to not do something even if I thought it was a sketchy area (e.g., Hollywood). I’d warn them they’d see homeless camps and 💩 on the street though 😂
How is this area with kids???
During the day, mind you.
Yeah, during the day it is fine, kids would enjoy it, perfectly safe, and fairly polite, unlike night, safe then also, but there are a few rowdy drunks.
