In a moment I am going to step out of
this delightful Dublin pub - the Oliver St. John Gogarty. This is
a traditional watering hole for thirsty Dubs and a irresistible
attraction for visitors. It's got that 'old worlde' charm we all rave
about, it has got every type of drink you might want, but today it
has got what I want most - a good hearty meal. And after just
finishing up this delicious repast, I will again venture out from the
last hour's pleasant interlude in this most welcoming pub.
That is going to put me right smack in
the middle of Temple Bar. I forgot to mention that. But that is
exactly where the Oliver St. John Gogarty is located. If you are
rambling around here you can't miss it. For good food or drink, you can't go wrong here. In fact, without either it would still be nice. Aside from this fine
establishment, Temple Bar itself is full of excellent pubs and
restaurants. Believe me, choice will not be a problem.
These cobbled streets that are now
constantly populated by so many tourists was once in former years a place of ill repute where the activities of the demimonde cast its
dark immoral shadow over the delicate sensibilities of the times. How terrible. But now, do we really care about all those depressing tales?
That was all back in the 18th century. Gone today are the
ladies of dubious pleasure as well as the craftsmen and merchants
that used to ply their trade here. Of course, with so many good
people banished, Temple Bar fell into decline for many decades. But
a thoughtful rejuvenation changed all that, and now artists and other
lofty types have taken hold in Temple Bar, thus making the area once
again a place of keen interest and enjoyment.
Well then, we can take it you'll want to
visit. So dipping once again into our Ireland Hotels promotion bag
we have this nice offering for Temple Bar ......
