Dublin & Temple Bar Pubs

Dublin pubs are as much a part of the Dublin scene as, well... Guinness.

Of course, each pub has its distinctive character and clientele to suit. There are the business pubs with Carvery lunches. There are pubs aimed at the younger set, the family crowd, the older set, the tourists, ravers, musicians, sports fans.... Sometimes one multi-story pub serves the lot.

Naturally, there is a website devoted to Dublin Pubs. You can read user comments and recommendations in the Pubs Directory.

But, a virtual Pub Crawl hardly compares to the real thing, does it? For one thing, there's the Irish traditional music that wafts from many local pubs. For another... well, there's the product, isn't there?

It takes dedication and a strong head to keep on top of the vast Dublin Pub scene. Just to give you an indication of the scale of such a project, here is a map showing the pubs just in the Temple Bar area.

Eliza Lodge is at Wellington Quay along the river,
roughly between numbers 24 & 27 on the map.
