6 Pubs of Christmas

Cue the Holiday Jingles: Christmas in Dublin is something truly special. Celebrate the silly season with us this year and enjoy a truly Irish experience!

 

From the cosy snugs in Kehoes and The Stag’s Head to the heat of an open fire. We have an abundance of Irish Christmas atmosphere on offer as well as one of the largest selections of gin in Dublin in the Gin Palace worthy of Queen Margaret herself.

 

Speaking of history, we have just the place for those looking for something historical. Check out The Grand Central, where Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy once sat and the broadcasting of the Proclamation of an Irish Republic via shortwave radio in 1916 was aired. You’re sure to satisfy any historian buff.

 

If you’re more of a music buff wander up to Thin Lizzy’s old haunt, Bruxelles. While you’re there give them a vote at our voting station for ‘Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’. The bar has attracted other familiar faces such as our very own Michael Flatley, Michael O’Driscoll to Oasis, Snow Patrol and many more. If you’re lucky you may spot a familiar face.

 

Take a wander down the cobbled streets of Temple Bar before the end of the night and see what treasures old Dublin has to offer. Drop into The Quays for a pint of the black stuff and some craic agus ceoil.

 

For a true Irish experience. Pop into each of our bars and let us know your favourite… 12 pubs… sure who survives that. Savour and enjoy it with 6!

The History of Temple Bar

The historic name of the district was not Temple Bar but St. Andrews Parish. It was a suburb of medieval (Anglo-Norman) Dublin, located outside the city walls. It fell into disuse at the beginning of the 14th century because the land was exposed to attacks by the native Irish. The land was redeveloped again in the 17th century, creating gardens for the houses of wealthy English families.

The Vikings settled here as far back as 795. Remains of their settlement’s fortifications can still be seen at Dublin Castle today.

Many sources agree that Temple Bar Street got its name from the Temple family. More Specifically, Sir William Temple (provost of Trinity College from 1609 – 1672), whose house and gardens were located there in the early 17th century. However, given the existence of a stories district of the same name in London, it seems that the new Temple Bar street of Dublin must have been a nod to its older and more famous cousin.

Today, you will find Temple Bar thriving. The cobbled streets and original architecture still remain. The streets are bustling with tourists and Dubliners browse through street fairs and listen to local artists performing on the side steps. At night Temple Bar simply comes alive. The Quays bar is full of locals and tourists all enjoying the authentic Irish experience.
