The area is buzzing, busy and sure to show you a good time as part of your travel to Dublin. There are so many bars that you're completely spoilt for choice. The drinks within are fairly similar with Guinness and whiskey being the local staples if you want to order something 'full Irish' but there are other drinks on offer if you're less keen to embrace the emerald isle's favourite tipples.
The area can be rowdy but usually the atmosphere is fun as opposed to aggressive. Go during the day or late afternoon if you have any concerns about things being a little too full-on for your liking.
It is a seriously fun place to spend a couple of hours so go have a nice time, if indeed not a long time, in Temple Bar and toast a successful stopover on your Dublin holiday.
