The TEMPLE BAR in Temple Bar area on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin,one of the most famous pubs in Dublin.
Its history goes back to 1599 when Sir William Temple,a renowned teacher & philosopher,built his house and gardens here on newly reclaimed land around Temple Bar.
His son,Sir John Temple,went onto development what we know as Temple Bar after a ‘sea wall’ was built in 1656 to hold back the Liffey.The area became known as Temple’s Barr.
A ‘Barr’ was a raised estuary sandbank often used for walking on.The old,iconic pub has 450 bottles of rare,whiskeys gathered for decades from all over the world, it is Ireland’s largest collection.

The "Publin" Walk was a particular focus on pubs of the past,ones that gave a special character to the old city in Joyce’s era.
However,a Publess Route seemed impossible even in 1904 when the novel was set.Indeed,a good puzzle it was!
It was likely impossible to not pass one.
Of course,true Joyceans know the riddle and Leopold Bloom, the fictional protagonist and hero of James Joyce's Ulysses,who might never have wished to wander far enough out of temptation.
The puzzle remained a head-scratcher,culture-wise,until some years ago when Rory McCann,a software developer,cracked the 111-year-old Joyce's puzzle,how to cross Dublin without passing a pub.
He used a mapping algorithm and after a number of unsuccessful attempts,he managed to solve it.
"It was something I'd been aware of and because I'm a computer programmer and heavily involved in Open Street Maps,I thought I'd have a stab at it," the young Dubliner said.
