My favorite pub in Temple Bar is the Palace on Fleet Street.  Downstairs is great for conversation; the back space is lovely. Upstairs, Palace Bar features Irish musicians.  Hearing Irish music is always great fun.

Kitty, Patty, and I went to the Palace twice during their visit.

It’s a great place to hang out when you need some time off your feet, or are waiting for an evening event to happen.

…with Shannon.

Upstairs we enjoyed the singing.

I later ran into the guitarist at the Cobblestone, and recognized him.

I’m becoming a regular trad. music groupie.

On the way home, we passed Hughes Pub. We went “window shopping” because we were too worn out to go in!
