Gogarty's Hostel - named after the famous Irish poet, playwright and surgeon - has its own bar on site. For groups looking to stick together but a little more privacy, there are also self-catering apartments with fully-stocked kitchens. Out the front door is the lively nightlife of Temple Bar neighborhood, and the Oliver St. John Gogarty traditional Irish pub is a popular hangout in itself with rare whiskies, quality bar food, a late bar every night of the week and live Irish music upstairs.
