Temple Bar
Dublin's Cultural Quarter
Temple Bar is in the heart of Dublin City and is a shopping, dining, entertainment and exploring feast for the senses. On a typical Irish morning, Temple Bar wakes up to the smell of steaming espresso, the clatter of kegs of Guinness rolling off delivery trucks and rainwater running between the cobblestones and setts down to the Liffey.
The shop doors and windows swing open to the most colourful streets in Dublin. With public spaces, pedestrian only areas and local open air shops, services and artisans that just don't exist anywhere but here, it's easy to see why Temple bar is the most vibrant and energetic part of Dublin
Known as Dublin's Cultural Quarter, Temple Bar boasts a large selection of cultural centres and galleries. There is accommodation to suit all budgets, restaurants and cafes offering food from all around the world, and late night bars and traditional Irish pubs, ensuring that temple bar has something to suit every style and taste.
Ben Dunne launches Temple Bar - The Official Guide 2009 as new living art piece is added to Temple Bar, the most colorful streets in Dublin
Today Tuesday 12th May Ben Dunne launched the new edition of Temple Bar - The Official Guide at the Project Arts Centre, Temple Bar. The new guide features a cover image which is also featured as a living art piece now on display outdoors in Temple Bar (on the wall of Freebird Records at Crown Alley, Temple Bar).
This vibrant artwork which was commissioned by TASCQ (traders in the area supporting the cultural quarter) was created by artist Maser.
Speaking of his involvement with the project Maser said ‘I feel privileged that a graffiti writer has had the opportunity to paint such an iconic location in Temple Bar. The Maser Loves You concept is based on Dublin, the streets of Dublin and the people of Dublin.’
Bloomin' Marvelous Day in Temple Bar
Temple Bar was certainly the place to be this Bloomsday! The streets were packed with characters in full Bloomsday costume and with readings, recitals and jazz performances aplenty visitors were spoiled for choice. More than a couple of well known faces were spotted at the Temple Bar celebrations, and one of those who came to roost was Dustin the turkey whose appearance on Meeting House Square was enjoyable for the masses who had gathered there. The celebrations in Temple Bar will continue on into the evening with Jazz sessions happening in many of the areas great bars and pubs! Click here for more info
