Temple Bar

Temple Bar PictureTemple Bar is the cultural capital of Dublin and located in the heart of Dublin City, about 5 to 10 minute walk from O'Connell Bridge. Temple Bar is a great area to see bands, dining (restaurants and cafes),  shopping, galleries and late night bars and traditional Irish pubs and more. It has something to suit every style and taste. Visit the Temple Bar Information Centre on 12 East Essex Street for information on where to go and what to do to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Traditional Irish Music

Traditional Irish Music PictureTraditional Irish music is what lots of tourists want to hear when they visit Dublin. Traditional Irish music can be found in many pubs in the city centre and the older style will be marketed more to tourists. Irish traditional music sessions are mostly informal gatherings at which people play Irish traditional music. The general session scheme is that someone starts a tune and those who know it join in. Good session etiquette requires not playing/singing if one does not know the tune and waiting until a tune one knows comes along.

One of my favourites is Eamonn Dorans. It is located in Temple Bar in Dublin and is a good place to catch live music at nights or listen to alternative / rock music during the day.
