temple is VERY expensive!!

so be prepared to spend a fortune!

here is any example i was in temple bar on wednesday..and in temple bar pub it cost....12euro for a pint and a half of Budweiser and 7.50 for a bottle of blue wicked!!!

EDIT..You'll be mad to get a taxi from the airport to the city centre! it cost you an arm and a leg!!
There are buses outside the main terminal!
go for a Dublin bus not the "city link" the city link cost you around 6euro where the Dublin bus goes to the same place for 2.20!!
Oh and the weather....bring an umbrella!!

That hotel is right in the middle of everything, Temple Bar has everything there, but its pretty small, so you'll find your way round in an hour.

the music in temple bar is very mixed, so there will be 80's, trad and modern all in the one night, so don't worry.

drink is about €6.50 a pint, but the pubs stay open late with no cover charge, so be like the Italians and sit over your drink, other wise you'll be skint

A taxi should cost between €30-€35 from the airport, if you do get a taxi tell the driver you come over all the time. Other wise you can get a bus that will leave you on O'Connell Street, so you'll need to cross O'Connell bridge, head towards Westmoreland Street, and Fleet St is a small street that runs adjacent to it, the bus is about €5.

The weather will be approx 10c, might rain, might not, you know yourself. If you are staying in Temple bar there will be no reason for you to worry about travelling anywhere else, its all there, the only journey you'll need is the one to the airport and back.

Enjoy your stay

Temple Bar is fiercely expensive -- Ireland has a very strong economy and Dublin is especially pricey! Gogarty's is good for Irish trad music, but the Temple Bar area is so small you should easily be able to walk around and hear what you like. Great atmosphere!

I would take the bus from the airport, it's very fast and a pretty ride, and only about five euro last time I was there. A taxi would be too expensive!

Temble Bar area is the best area for everything. Has lots of pubs and clubs and lots of things going on. Near to the centre. Weather will be freezing same as UK and it is very very very expensive so bring lots of dosh. Hey your bf has same bday as me!
