Eating out in Temple Bar
Temple Bar is the cobbled quarter between Dame Street and the Liffey, and it is two places at once: the lanes of pubs and crowds that visitors know, and a quieter ring of serious restaurants on Dame Lane, Fownes Street, Essex Street and Parliament Street that locals book for a pre-theatre dinner or a late supper after the Project Arts Centre. The difference matters for availability, because the pubs fill the streets while the booked rooms sit behind them with real tables.
Everything is walkable: Tara Street DART and the Jervis and Abbey Street Luas stops are five minutes away, and most city buses stop on Dame Street or the quays. Do not drive; the quarter is pedestrianised and the car parks fill by 7 pm on weekends.
Flash Tables in Temple Bar are a Monday-to-Wednesday thing, when the weekend crowds are gone and kitchens have room at 7 pm and 7:30 pm. Thursday to Saturday the restaurants here are usually full from 6:30 pm, so the useful listings are the late tables after 9:30 pm and the cancellations Radar catches. Pre-theatre at 5:30 pm is nearly always available and often on offer.
