Dublin - Temple Bar

West of Trinity between Dame St. and the Liffey, the neighborhood of Temple Bar pulses with activity. Narrow cobblestone streets link inexpensive cafes, small theatres, performances spaces and used clothing and record stores.

In the early 1980’s the Irish Transport Authority planned to replace the neighborhood with a huge transportation center and started acquiring all the necessary property. The artists who lived around Temple Gate at the time protested. In 1985 they circulated petitions and saved their homes and businesses.

Temple Bar then quickly grew into one of the hottest spots for nightlife in Europe. However, it’s more than just a place to drink. The government has spent millions to build a number of arts-related tourist attractions inspiring independent venues to sprout up too.
