Temple Bar Hotels
Lying on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin, Temple Bar is officially designated "Dublin's cultural quarter" but is better known to young visitors as the city’s prime party area, thanks to its many tourist-focused nightclubs, restaurants and bars. In spite of this, it does have an attractive traditional feel, with its medieval street pattern and many narrow cobbled streets. It's also home to the Irish Photography Centre, the Irish Film Institute, the Temple Bar Music Centre and the Temple Bar Book Market, as well as the Irish Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Ireland.
