Description
The Temple Bar Pub is one of Dublin’s most iconic and photographed pubs, located in the heart of the lively Temple Bar district. Housed in a beautifully preserved red-brick building dating back to the 19th century, this pub has become a must-visit spot for tourists seeking a traditional Irish experience.
