Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland is where good music and good viewing of all things Irish may be found, as well as a good pint of Guiness.

Dublin, the town and city as such  a Viking settlement, comes from its ancient setting, in the Irish meaning 'the black or dark pool' (dubh = black and lind = pool).

In modern Irish, the city is called Baile Átha Cliath, meaning "town of the hurdled ford."
