About Temple Bar
Temple Bar is a smart NoHo pick for a date or a focused cocktail stop, especially when the room matters as much as the drink. It is less useful as a food-led or group-first plan, so compare it with Jac's on Bond, ACME, or ATLA Noho depending on whether the night needs drinks, dinner, or both.
Temple Bar is a New York City venue with verified evening and late-night hours, plus a smart casual dress code. The confirmed details are practical rather than expansive: use the hours below to plan arrival, and check directly with the venue for anything not listed here, such as reservations, menu details, seating, pricing, or service format.
A New York City venue page built around confirmed planning details
The clearest verified planning point is timing. Temple Bar opens at 5 PM daily. It closes at 1 AM Monday through Wednesday, 2 AM Thursday through Saturday, and 12 AM on Sunday. That makes it most useful to evaluate as an evening or late-night stop in New York City, rather than as a lunch plan.
The verified dress code is smart casual. Beyond that, this guide does not confirm a food program, cocktail list, chef, awards, price range, reservation policy, seating count, or takeout and delivery details. If those factors matter to your decision, confirm them directly before building a night around the venue.
Who should consider it, and who should compare
Choose Temple Bar if the verified hours and smart casual dress code fit the kind of New York City evening you are planning. If you are comparing other New York City options, Jac's on Bond, ACME, ATLA Noho, Angelika Film Center & Cafe - New York, and YOSHINO • NEW YORK may be useful names to consider depending on the occasion, but confirm each venue's current details separately before deciding.
For broader planning, our full New York City venue guide is the right next stop. If the night requires a fuller restaurant plan, use our full New York City restaurants guide. For trip-building around the city, keep our full New York City hotels guide, our full New York City experiences guide, and our full New York City wineries guide separate from the venue decision.

How it compares in NoHo and downtown
Temple Bar is the better choice when the priority is a polished cocktail-room feel and a smaller-party night. Jac's on Bond is the closest cross-shop for a downtown drinks plan, while ACME makes more sense when the evening needs a restaurant-adjacent rhythm rather than a bar-led one.
ATLA Noho is the smarter pick if food is central to the booking decision. Angelika Film Center & Cafe - New York is more practical around a film plan than a standalone cocktail night. YOSHINO • NEW YORK belongs to a higher-commitment dining occasion, so it is not a direct substitute unless the plan has moved far beyond drinks.
For value, Temple Bar works when the spend is buying atmosphere, location, and a focused drinks setting. If booking ease and flexibility matter more than mood, Jac's on Bond or ACME may be safer backups; if food quality is the deciding factor, start with ATLA Noho instead.
