The Vat House Bar of Temple Bar is a traditional Irish Pub, which gets it's name from the vat house in the Guinness Brewery, St. James Gate, Dublin.  During the final stages of the brewing process, Guinness is stored in large copper vats and left to mature, thereby allowing the flavour to develop.

 The interior of the Vat House Bar reflects the maturing and developing process.  The timber floors are pitch pine, mahogany and oak.  These were salvaged from the original vat houses in the St. James Gate Brewery.  The elegant brickwork and cobble floors mirror the streets of Temple Bar itself.

The Vat House is located right in the heart of Dublin City, close to O'Connell Bridge, Trinity College and the cities main shopping and entertainment districts.  No trip to Dublin is complete without sampling the atmosphere and excitement of Temple Bar and a trip to Temple Bar is incomplete without a visit to The Vat House Bar.
