Step into the heart of Dublin and experience the true Irish spirit with a unique walking tour through Temple Bar, the city’s most iconic district. Among cobblestone streets, historic pubs and a lively atmosphere, you will discover how history, music and beer intertwine to shape one of Ireland’s most celebrated traditions. From Barnardo Square, next to City Hall, we begin a journey through centuries of culture that have made Dublin an unforgettable destination.
The tour unveils the evolution of Irish beer and whiskey culture, from its Celtic roots to the rise of Guinness in the 18th century. Pubs were not only meeting places but also sources of inspiration for writers such as James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, as well as stages for rebellions and conspiracies. Here, the famous craic comes alive—that unique blend of fun, music and camaraderie that makes every Dublin night unforgettable.
The route takes us through legendary pubs like The Stag’s Head, a Victorian gem, O’Neill’s, with over 300 years of history, and The Palace Bar, considered the literary pub par excellence. We’ll soak up the vibrant energy of Oliver St. John Gogarty’s and The Old Storehouse, while encountering symbols such as Molly Malone and the Wall of Fame, honoring music icons like U2, Van Morrison and Sinéad O’Connor. Of course, no visit would be complete without the legendary Temple Bar Pub, the city’s most photographed landmark and a true symbol of Dublin nightlife.
The experience concludes at Turk’s Head, a nearly 300-year-old pub that blends tradition with a contemporary style, featuring live folk music from Wednesday to Sunday. Here you’ll have the chance to elevate your visit with an exclusive tasting of five Irish beers, guided by an expert who will explain the unique qualities of each variety. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in Irish beer culture and discover why Temple Bar’s pubs are true social landmarks of Dublin.
