Advantages: The friendliest city in Europe Disadvantages: Weather - lots of "liquid" sunshine
prosperity also heralded the death knell for many of these smaller establishments, as they were either taken over by big business or turned into much larger and upmarket concerns.
This has left TempleBar very much from the same mould as London’s Covent Garden, although it beats it hands down in the quality of the Guinness.
~ ~ The numerous pubs still exist, and many have, in all fairness, managed to successfully avoid the headlong rush into commercialism, and still retain their unique Irish “flavour” and atmosphere.
Try the “TempleBar” itself, Oliver St. John Gogarty’s, O’Sheas Merchants, and my own particular favourites, the Porterhouse and the Palace Bar. (see my separate opinions, plug, plug)

They are quite detailed and easily recognisable.
Quite a bit of the temple has been destroyed over the centuries by natural disasters including floods and earthquakes. The most recent earthquake was in 1992 which caused some more damage to the temple. Man has also destroyed parts of the temple by taking some of the stone work for building.
