Fun Place to Start We started our Irish Holiday at Quays and weren’t disappointed. Thursday night at 5 pm and the bar was packed. Mostly filled with tourists, a few young lads joined us from the financial district to have a pint or two after work. While a bit touristy, the music was good and bartenders very attentive. We’d highly recommend Quays over many of the other establishments in Temple Bar.

Guinness and Beef Stew - Amazing We wandered into Temple bar area late looking for some traditional Irish food and happened upon this restaurant which is upstairs from the bar of the same name. Our food, Guinness and Beef Stew, was beautifully plated and delicious. We found our back to the restaurant and bar more than once on our trip.

Great atmosphere Called in for a few drinks late afternoon and the live music was fab and gave the place a great atmosphere. Bar staff very friendly and chatty and the couple of hours just whizzed by. This is definitely the sort of pub I was looking for when I came to Dublin.
