Temple Bar, near Blackrock
Temple Bar is a quarter of Dublin on the south bank of the Liffey, between Dame Street and the river. It is an area rather than a business, and it is not the pub called The Temple Bar, which stands on the street of that name inside it.
OpenStreetMap holds this place twice, once as node/2986012929 and once as way/76592311. This site treats the other record as the place, so listings show that one and it carries anything that has been checked. The page this site uses for Temple Bar

Where this comes from
- From the map
- The name, the kind of place, the address where the record carries one, and any website, phone or opening hours shown as recorded on the map are tags on OpenStreetMap node/2986012929, and can be corrected there.
- Worked out here
- Every distance, the nearest road where the record has no address, which car park and which stop are nearest, and the order of the lists are this site’s own calculations from those records. Distances are straight lines between two points, not walks along the footpaths, and the map will route the real walk on request. A mistake in any of this is a mistake here rather than on the map.
