Posted by IntlMOVE on September 9, 2010 · 1 Comment 

When you move to Ireland with IntlMOVE, you will definitely want to visit Temple Bar.

Temple Bar is a popular place that locals like to go, but it also a popular place for tourists.

This area in Ireland is located in Dublin off of the River Liffey.

It is located between the Bank of Ireland and Christ Church Cathedral.

Temple Bar still has its medieval charm and is known as “Dublin’s cultural quarter.”

The streets are line with cobblestone to give it a real old world feel.

There are a number of bars, restaurants, unique shops and cultural buildings that make up Temple Bar.

The estimated population is about 3,000.

The name of the area likely comes from the Temple family, who lived there in the 17th century.

It could also be named after the Temple Bar in London, but nobody is exactly sure.

A map from 1673 has the earliest reference to Temple Bar.

The area in Dublin has many events that took place that are deemed historically important.

Handel’s Messiah was first performed on April 13, 1742 on Fishamble Street.

This performance is now held annually on the same date.

The political group, the Society of the United Irishmen, was founded in Temple Bar on Eustace Street in 1791.

If you are a history buff, you will see that there are a lot of great things that happened at Temple Bar.

In the 1800s, Temple Bar lost is popularity.

The city’s structures declined in the 1900s and it was a very unpopular part of Dublin.

In the 1991, the Irish government set up a non-profit company to help restore the area.

The Temple Bar Properties is the name of the non-profit company that has helped Temple Bar come back to life.

The nightlife in Temple Bar can be a little out of control.

There are many great pubs to watch sports or just hang out with friends.

There are also some clubs, which are fun for the younger crowds who enjoy dancing.

Some of the favorite pubs are the Turk’s Head, the Porterhouse, the Quays Bar and Eamonn Doran’s.

Restaurants are also a big part of the success of the Temple Bar.

Temple Bar isn’t all about the nightlife though.

The Irish Photography Centre, the Irish Film Institute and the Temple Bar Music Centre are located here.

There is also the Ark Children’s Cultural Centre, the Arthouse Multimedia Centre, the Projects Arts Centre, the Gaiety School of Acting, the Irish Stock Exchange and much more.

If you are an avid reader, the Temple Bar Book Market takes place every weekend in Temple Bar Square.

You can watch movies outside at Meetinghouse Square in the warm summer months.

Every Saturday, there is a fashion and design market for all the fashionistas on Cow’s Lane.

No matter what you like to do, you will be sure to find something at Temple Bar.

Although a lot of the nightlife caters to tourists, there are many activities that take place here that attract the locals.
