🚌To get to Temple bar: nothing could be easier. Just walk along the local river Liffey to see the beginning of Temple Bar. All you have to do is wander down the narrow streets to come across the first Irish pubs. Alternatively, you can take public transport to Temple Bar, as a number of bus routes pass close by, including routes 15, 155, 16 , 27, 39 and 39A.
💰Budget: As Temple Bar is Dublin's tourist district par excellence, the price of drinks is a little higher than in other outlying areas of the city. For an evening including dinner and a few drinks in a pub, you should expect to pay between €100 and €200, depending on the standing of the establishments you choose.
EDITORIAL ADVICE:
⏱️Les The Irish are not "night owls", as they say. They are used to eating early, and therefore to feasting early too. To make the most of the evening and Temple Bar's entertainment, we recommend arriving around 6 - 6.30pm for dinner, so that you can hit the bars just before 8pm.
You should also be aware that establishments generally make a distinction between "having a drink" and "eating at a table". The 2 areas are often separated between the bar and the dining area.
One last little tip: to take advantage of special rates in restaurants or bars, establishments generally charge "early bird" prices. The equivalent of Happy Hours. So starting the festivities early has its advantages!
