"It can be tough to get a table at Temple Bar even for a couple of people, so you should inquire about renting out the semi-private lounge space if you're looking to get anything more than a handful of friends together there for a special occasion. The Art Deco-inspired bar is typically quite loud and dark, so you’ll probably want somewhere you can tuck away and hear your guests anyway." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja
