Temple Bar

We ended our Dublin Day Four hanging out in Temple Bar section of town.  We walked the crowded streets and found our way to the Temple Bar Pub. There are many pubs in the Temple Bar area and we had been to a few but we wanted to check out the actual Temple Bar Pub at least for one beer.

It is one of the major tourist attractions in Dublin and was incredibly crowded as we made our way through the door on this

Friday night at the end of August. We wandered through the pub looking for a place to have a drink and maybe sit. We made our way to one particular corner near the end of the bar when a young couple offered us their seats at the bar. They said they were leaving shortly and we thanked them very much. However, they did stay and have another drink and had I known I would have bought it for them. We sat at the bar in very prime seats that let us catch the scene which included live music. Of course I had a Guinness Stout Draft. 

After a while we moved to another part of this very large pub to see what else was going on and we were able to get a standing spot at a high table and had another beer. This time I had a Beamish Irish Stout. After awhile we realized Eileen had texted us that they were at the Bison Pub along the river. We left the Temple Bar and made our way to the Bison which was about two blocks away. Unfortunately we couldn't find them there on either of the floors. Later we would find out that they left the Bison and went over to the Temple Bar looking for us. I'm surprised we didn't see each other as we passed on the streets of Dublin.

We decided to call it a night as it had been a very busy day. We headed back to the rail station to catch a tram back to our hotel. A man asked us for directions.
