Derek Speirs for The New York Times
The year-old Vintage Cocktail Club.
The cobbled quarter of Temple Bar has long maintained its tourist-destination status with overpriced pints of Guinness and a reputation for wild bachelor parties. While these traits endure, entrepreneurs have begun to reclaim the historic streets flanking the south side of the Liffey River. Now, locals are being lured back into the compact neighborhood. The common theme is pushing boundaries, from a secret cocktail bar to restaurants showcasing flavors beyond the typical Irish canon. With fallen prices and available real estate from the economic downturn, the heart of city center Dublin is experiencing a creative revival.
CRACKBIRD
Joe Macken has opened two popular spots within Temple Bar's borders: Skinflint (pizza) and Crackbird, his ode to chicken. Crackbird serves tasty, spicy fare such as soy garlic wings and Sichuan pepper roast chicken.

Meeting House Square.
Home of the weekly Temple Bar Food Market, the neighborhood's outdoor living room, Meeting House Square features a retractable rain roof. The small square, with a stage and performance space, welcomes film series, concerts and literary readings, rain or shine.

INDIGO & CLOTH

Indigo & Cloth.
The men's boutique opened an outpost here in February. While Indigo & Cloth has existed as a brand since 2007, this venue brings sophisticated looks and high-end labels like Oliver Spencer to the neighborhood. Clement & Pekoe coffee, a specialty brand, is served at its brew bar; fashion magazines are ample while you sip.

VINTAGE COCKTAIL CLUB
A solid door marked VCC signifies this year-old speakeasy-style bar (ring the doorbell to enter) along one of Temple Bar's cobbled alleys. In a town of pints and whiskey, a properly balanced cocktail is something of a novelty — especially served late after pubs close around midnight.
