Food: The best food in Dublin. I ordered a steak rib sub and the meat just fell off the bone. It was amazing. The wings were amazing, and the selection of craft beer is superb. Decor: This place looks like it was modeled after a church and those rooms in the back look like confession rooms. See the pictures! This is a must place to go when in Dublin and I recommend this place to all who visit the city.

I believe the full brunch menu is offered 12-4 on Sunday. The fish and chips were the second best I've had while traveling abroad. The fish had these bigger pieces of salt on it (yum) and was perfectly fried. The mushy peas were also very good and I loved the hint of mint. The chips were... chips, just okay. The tartar sauce was also very unique, almost a tartar/mustard sauce, and it went well with the fish. The ambiance is very hipster, but I enjoyed the lunch and would visit to try more cocktails.

The fryer as the coating was almost white in color; but, they were cooked and the meal tasted good. Exchequer seems to have many awards; so, perhaps this is the way to fix fish and chips!

During the day, parents can bring their children and enjoy a nice carvery lunch for a very reasonable price. Sundays are pretty much taken over by screaming children so if you don't have a little one then give it a miss this day. The beer garden is popular with all ages both day and night time. You can hear the Botanic stream near by so for once the term "garden" applies. It's a nice change to be in a quiet residential area where you don't have to listen to too much traffic. In my opinion, one of the best times to visit the Tolka House is around Christmas time. Everyone in the neighbourhood seems to congregate here to celebrate the holidays. I have some very fond memories of meeting up with old friends and having a grand old time.

It is believed that 'Temple Bar' street's name originated from 'Sir William Temple' from the 'Temple family (you can see the same on the outer wall of the pub) The most iconic pub in Dublin, the Temple Bar Pub, sits proudly on the corner of Temple Bar and Temple Lane South. With live music from 10:30 am every day, this is a pub with a party atmosphere all day long. I was amused at how many people popped in, snapped off a quick photo or a 30-second video, and then left without stopping for a drink. Then again, at €8 a pint, and it's one of the more expensive drinks in an already expensive city ( and I did the same in 2-3 pubs), and that's fine. Doesn't matter whether you wanna have food or drink here or not, but I would definitely recommend (in capital letters), have one drink here. Yes, it's expensive (just 3-4 euros more, come on), but the vibe, that's totally worth it. I truly believe, though, that if you're going to experience Dublin, then you can't leave without experiencing Temple Bar. I had like 4-5 drinks at different pubs, and though it's touristy and "trap"- I would come here again and again. No other place has a "temple bar pub ' vibe. There is always live music, the stage is rarely empty, and the diary is always full. The Temple Bar Pub is famed throughout Dublin for its lively, traditional Irish music scene. PS: don't get confused with Temple Bar at the end of every pub. Its neighborhood name (Temple bar neighborhood), and this pub is Temple Bar pub.

Is Temple Bar an overpriced tourist trap in a saturated area of Dublin? Yes…read more However, with that said, I feel it's a must-see for first time visitors. I went during my first trip to Dublin and not again until my boyfriend and I went to Dublin together. As it was his first visit, we had to go. The bar is always packed unless you arrive as soon as they open. It's not longer after opening time that it becomes a mad house well into the night. They've always got live music and proper Guinness pours (more $$ than elsewhere). So yeah, it's a tourist trap but it's also fun if you know what you're getting into and what to expect.

And plus, I was super hungry and didn't want to have my Guinness tasting on an empty stomach, so my friends and I opted to eat here. I knew exactly what I wanted to order, so I only ordered the GUINNESS BEEF STEW. The beef stew was very rich and nice. It had a good amount of beef pieces inside. The potatoes inside were very soft/creamy. The dish was carb/protein loaded, which satisfied my hungry stomach.

We were also told about the lunch special, a fish burger with fries. We ordered the fish and chips and the special fish burger. Our order came quickly and everything was very hot. The fish and chips had a large fish filet, tartar sauce, a small container of peas (not mushy peas as was expected) and a metal container of fries. The container was very hot and helped keep the fries crispy. The fries were unique in that the shape had a celery shape with a valley to keep the ketchup in place or as I was told by the server mayonnaise for her. The fish was well fried and very hot. The fish burger was unique in that from what I could tell it was flaked or mashed fish filets then surrounded by a flat filet to keep its shape. It was served on a soft bun with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. The 'burger' was very large and thick that it almost made it hard to eat, but I managed! The batter was very thin, light and crispy. Again the fries were super hot and crunchy and there was a small container of tartar sauce. Both meals were good but lacked seasoning. Not sure they would be ordered again. The menu is small but would have enough for most appetites. They do offer an all day Gorgonzola and bread appetizer which, if we were going to spend time drinking, I would have ordered. Atmosphere was very loud with plenty of bar noise (dishes, silverware, and glassware being knocked about) which sometimes made it difficult to hold a conversation. Seating was a combination of booth, tables, and chairs. This is a large establishment with another bar area to the rear, labeled Molly's Room (Malone perhaps?). All in all an ok visit not sure we'll pop back in on our next trip.

Food was good. Beer excellent. Prices reasonable. We ate on the second floor where it was quieter and easier to get the barkeeps attention. The live music was on the first floor so if you want to listen to that, stay there. Five stars is we'd go back again even if it were out of our way. No, but it's a solid four stars we'd eat there again with no complaints whatsoever.
