The Scene – Located between Harvard and Porter Squares, Temple Bar lures young professionals and local residents with a well-rounded menu and plenty of stylish liquid concoctions (Key lime martins, pineapple-infused vodka drinks). Exposed brick walls, low-hanging lamps, stylish furniture and dark lacquered tabletops provide a touch of elegance to an otherwise relaxed environment. Pleasant servers reveal their favorite menu items and deliver dishes from the rear kitchen. – – The Food – Temple Bar's upscale comfort fare includes options for both barflies and…

Great decor, good food, not-so-good waitress
by vix8 at Citysearch
I'll give this place a 2 solely because of the wait staff. I don't really care too much about which waitress I have usually. But this person acted as though we were inconveniencing her and never smiled. She did all the things waitresses are supposed to do, but with no personality or smile or anything. Luckily the food was great - great fries - and the bar was awesome and the decor and lighting set a good vibe!
Go-To Spot

I love this place. The atmosphere is wonderful and depending upon the server you can rely on good service. I love their truffle oil pizza, casear salad, and drinks. It's not overpriced and just is the perfect blend of atmosphere food and fun.
- Pros: Interesting Menu Great Atmosphere Good Date Spot
- Cons: Crowded Overpacked Bar Area
Awesome Place!

Tom Berry is probably the most underrated chef in Boston. He's constantly varying the menu, consistently churning out food that you would get at 5 star restaurant at 1/2 the price. Temple Bar is a great place to go for any occasion, be it a date or out with a group of friends. Always a cool and fun vibe, with great food and drinks.

TB has recently become one of my personal hot spots. Fav on the apps menu- you MUST try the lomi lomi salmon ceviche. If you're a vegetarian, try the seared parisian gnocchi. Everything I've had so far has been delicious and the atmosphere is great.
Loved it!

This place is awesome!! I had the time of my life. I havnt been out in 3 weeks, and when my friends dragged me out I ended up having a fabulous time! a few fantastic apple martini's and appetizers, the atmosphere and the vibe gave me and my girls a perfect saturday night. I definately reccomend putting on your favorite party dress, hitting the town with your friends, and having a blast. Temple Bar is the shiznit.
