Temple Bar

Wallachia


A local version of an Irish pub situated 2km north of the centre (take a taxi as it's hard to find). While there's not much true Irish food on the menu, it's nevertheless one of the most popular and enjoyable spots in town for a beer or single malt Scotch (or a bite to eat). The main draw is the lively atmosphere.
