A lot of people go to Temple Bar just to drink - bachelor parties, people popping over from London for the weekend, normal Friday night - and sometimes it's easier as well as safer just to stay in the area where you are going to drink. If you go to the Dublin for the weekend, Temple Bar is probably where you are going to end up.
Just like Vegas, you want to stay close to where you are going to stumble but remember that there are about 3000 people who live here so if you are leaving the bar at closing, try to not yell. FA has not stayed at these locations but they have been recommended to us. Do you have any preferences?
