Temple Bar listed among world’s 10 most disappointing locations (1 Viewer)

Vienna

although I'd go back and just plan to avoid the 99% of urban sprawl in favour of the 1% nice.

I thought Vienna was great, although I've been three times and never went to Falco's grave

Did you go to Disney World as an adult?

I don't see the attraction.

no as a kid but it was shite and i agree with her points.

Philadelphia was awful too. Dirty, noisy and full of crazy derelicts.

My mate visits Vienna once a year. Loves it.

Dame Lane/Court is far more like what Temple Bar is meant to be like. A warm summer's evening and a crowd and good buzz, often there's live music in the street. People at the various pubs mingle.

I don't think I expected it to be so big and for 99% of it to just look like Dublin. The really nice historical area is great but it's such a small section of the city. I went to Bratislava a few days later and much preferred that.

I was also a bit thrown by the lack of bi-lingual signs and the fact that everyone assumes you know German as well. Although I do understand that that was my own stupid privileged fault so can't hold that against them.

I used to park the car in the car park in temple bar if I was going to a gig in TBMC or the Olympia until one time there was practically a queue of junkies at the payment machine scabbing $$$. Never went back there after..

go there at about 1am when you're sober and then see if you still think its a good buzz. Nowhere thats full of drunken fucks is a good buzz anymore. Too much hostility amongst the young folk.

 

[rettucs]

I'm sure its a good buzz if you're on a good buzz yourself mind

Temple Bar's greatest contribution to Dublin's civic life is that it puts a good number of the stupid cunts in the one spot with each other in a kind of self-selecting Gobshite Zone.

It leaves the likes of Bowe's and the Stag's for the rest of us

Go nowhere at 1am when you're sober.

But I take your point.

I didn't venture out of the centre much but when I did I didn't see any Dubliny bits. It was all nicer I thought.

I've been there a couple of times when it was like Hamsterdam but considering how many people go there it is surprisingly free of hassle, even late on. Then most people don't give enormous people grief if they're wise, regardless of their state of intoxication.

Wherever my hostel was I felt like I was walking around Cabra. Also Some of the nice old parks around the Palace are ruined by graffiti. As a city it feels like there's a real rich/poor divide (it may just be that it was built with one) and it made me feel uneasy.

If I go again I'll definitely stay in the centre and just walk around acting like royalty.

Dame Court/Lane that is.

Dame Court/Lane that is.

I was probably soured off there because of a couple of evenings I was down that way during christmas jumper season. Which, to be fair, isn't probably its best side

Is that when they have the stage and the bands there?

The brother played that. Had to dodge a few bottles at times.

possibly. There was a DJ playing outdoors when I was there and the christmas market was in the street from Dame lane to Exechequer street. It seemed to be a grand buzz but spend a little while there and the wankers start to make themselves known.

Morons thinking they're funny is possibly the worst side-effect of alcohol.
