Turk's Head
Parliament Street at the far end of the Temple Bar area

Big bouncy and noisy pub. Been renovated recently and has turned into another superpub with music and dancing downstairs. Attracts a fairly young crowd but seem to have no problem spending money.

  RATING COMMENTS
Buzz four beers Lively it certainly is. Would have similarities in terms of atmosphere and clientele as Major Tom's. Whether that is a good thing or bad thing is up to you.
Decor three beers Large central bar, a huge back area and a downstairs 'dancfloor'. Wood too, but not too much.
Scoring three beers A bit of a pick up place. Most of the crowd is in their (very) early 20's. Lots of blokes and a fair sprinkling of women provide some options. Well off students is the image I get for some reason.
Babes + Hunks three beers Not bad. Plenty to look at, but it depends what you're after. A recent visit made me feel old. Most of the punters were not over 23.
Beer Standards one beer Woeful beer. No two ways about. They just slop it up at you. And charge you for the privilege.
And the toilets? three beers Downstairs, roomy and relatively clean.
Overall three beers Noisy and busy with a suspect crowd (for me anyway) but worth a look if you want a late bar near Temple Bar. Gets a bit too packed, especially downstairs.
