I'll echo what everyone else is saying regarding it being a tourist trap. However, we went here during a Sandeman's walking tour and walked through the entire Temple Bar area. The area is very cool and definitely feels much more touristy than any other part of Dublin we explored. Cool area-but talk to your B&B owners or hotel concierge for much more authentic or local places to enjoy a pint!
