The live-stream of Temple Bar is hilarious to watch today

Rory Cashin

Imagine you’re a tourist on holiday in Dublin today.

You arrive in Temple Bar, the party capital of the party capital of Ireland, the country known – for better or worse – for enjoying a tipple every now and then.

But everything is shut!

Has there been some kind of mandatory evacuation you weren’t informed about? Is this the post-apocalypse? The city centre is just filled with shuffling tourists with no idea where they’re going or what to do with themselves.

That’s what it looks like to us, as the live stream EarthCam currently showing a bizarrely busy-looking Temple Bar is showing right now.

But all the tourists are bewildered looking due to the closed pubs.

You can check out the live video here.

While we might not be able to down a drink today, we can get some entertainment out of watching other people not being able to down a drink today either.

After all, this might be the last ever year that the alcohol ban will be happening.
