Oliver St. John Gogarty's Hostel 18-21 Anglesea Street, County Dublin D02 RX38

"I know “The Temple Bar” is the place advertised to go.. but this bar is the most UNDERRATED PUB ever. The night life performer is such a vibe!! Engages the crowd, had great sarcasm and plays great music!! We met so many new friends and came here twice while in Dublin. I would recommend this pub as a 10/10!!! Canada loves this pub!!"

"Music was good but unfortunately that was the only positive part of visiting this pub. My only regret whilst visiting Ireland has been purchasing a drink here. One glass of Archer's (peach schnapps) with lemonade was charged at €17, not even including the lemonade which was then charged as an additional fee. For reference, the glass was much smaller than half a pint and over half of it was filled with ice alone (which was not requested). An entire 70cl bottle of pure Archer's would usually retail for around £11 in the UK and approximately €19 at most in Ireland. We have been out for incredible meals in great restaurants here for less than the cost of one drink at this pub. We left without ordering anything else. I will never drink here again and nor will anyone I visited with. The other bars in the area were cheaper with better atmospheres and the same degree of good music, so I would highly recommend giving any of the many other places in Temple Bar a try instead. If you do visit this particular pub anyway, please learn from our mistake and don't order a drink - you can get much more for less elsewhere. Disgustingly overpriced and I can see now that this is also reflected within other recent reviews (i.e. someone mentions being charged €27 for a pint here vs €6 for the same order down the road). I hate leaving negative reviews but I feel compelled to warn others. This pub is not as user friendly as it may seem from the outside and I would hate for anyone else to experience the same. Really disappointing. - Feb 2023."

"Fun place to stay smack in the middel of the temple bar area. The pub itself is great aswell with live music every night. I had a great time staying here. If you are visiting Dublin, this is the place to be. The pub can be a bit crowded at night though."

"The place gets crowded very fast but the live music and the beer makes it worth it! Is not a quiet place to go and have chat but you can find other places to do that. Many drunks inside of course but the staff is VERY quick to get them out before trouble starts which is greatly appreciated! Is not the cheapest beer in town but I would still recommend it to have fun :)"

"What a great pub! I've been there in a business trip. The pub is quite big and it had great atmosphere. I was there at late lunch and there was not problem to have food served at this time. There was a band playing music so it made my visit even more special. Food was really good. Well presented and big portions. I order the soup of the day that was soup with salmon, mussels and vegetables and it was amazing. Then I ordered Traditional Irish Stew... Superb! Really tasty and craY big size."
