The temple bar pub, 47-48 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, Eire, D02 N725, Ireland
The Temple Bar is a public house located at 46–48 Temple Bar in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, Ireland. Standing at the corner of Temple Lane South, the first pub on the site was reputedly licensed in the early 19th century. The pub building at 48 Temple Bar is listed by Dublin City Council on its Record of Protected Structures, and is recorded in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as being built c. 1840. History The Temple Bar area, in which the building stands, was so-named in the 17th century, owing to its association with Sir William Temple, father of Sir John Temple, who owned a house and gardens there. Some sources associate the public house with James Harrison, a young publican who previously worked in his father's pub grocery business at 48 City Quay, and who reputedly obtained a licence for a new pub in the area in May 1819. According to related sources, Harrison sold his business to Cornelius O'Meara, a grocer, tea, wine and spirit merchant, in 1835. O'Meara, who also had another pub at 1 Wood Quay, remained in Temple Bar for around a decade In 1951, the Fitzgerald family purchased the property. They stayed for ten years, with William Flannery arriving in 1961. As of 2012, the owners were the Cleary family, who purchased the pub in 1992. At that point traditional features such as the Georgian style wyatt windows were reinstated and the pub changed to its current name. The business was expanded in the first part of the 21st century with the acquisition of adjacent properties, including The Temple Bar Trading Company shop, which opened at number 46.
