Temple is your classic plastic, tourist Irish pub, but at least it's done well. The location is perfect for those tourist pub crawls, and it has a huge projection screen for the sports fans who want to watch the Premiership whilst on their hols. There are also plenty of high quality flat screen TVs dotted about so that you're in no danger of missing any of the sporting action. There's wood panelling everywhere, and an upstairs area that increases the capacity of the pub considerably. Naturally, the Temple is always popular with the tourist crowd from all over Europe, so there are interesting accents to be heard left, right and centre. Like all pubs in the centre, there's a vast selection of beers, lagers, cider and Guinness. Those of you who have a soft spot for the black stuff will appreciate the difference between your typical, average foreign pint of Guinness and a well crafted pint. If it's a superior pint you're after you should probably try further afield (Celtic Cross), but the Temple's pint is passable. It's hard to say that the Temple has any particularly interesting or unusual character, because it doesn't. The bottom line is that if you're near the Ramblas and fancy a pint, the Temple Bar is an easy, if uninspiring, win.
