80 Pictures of Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland

Temple Bar

There is an effervescent night life in Dublin and the most worldwide famous area for these activities is the Temple Bar found just south of the Liffey. Dublin's best night spots, restaurants and unusual shops line these constricted, cobblestone streets running connecting the Bank of Ireland and Christ Church Cathedral. In the 18th century the area was home to many unsavoury characters. Fownes Street was renowned for its brothels. It was also the place of birth of parliamentarian Henry Grattan.
