Best Pubs in Temple Bar

Before you set off, get 10% off pints* in disndat, our hotel bar next door, (we’re sound like that) and make sure you soak up some of the craic in two of our Temple Bar favourites, The Auld Dubliner or The Norseman, famous for great pints and traditional Irish pub grub! 

Temple Bar is abuzz with atmosphere all year round and hosts lots of events throughout the year. Weekly food and book markets, quirky pop ups, as well as regular festivals including Tradfest, Handel’s Day and the festival of Russian culture, to name but a few. 

We’ve launched a campaign on our REZz Instagram called ‘The Best Pubs in Dublin,’ designed to help tourists discover great local pubs in the area. Make sure to check it out and leave a comment with any pubs you’d love to see featured!
