"Velvet wallpaper, tchotchkis aplenty, and low lighting set a relaxed mood at the Temple Bar. Original cocktails, beer, and wine are the mainstays, and they pair well with snacks like artisan cheese, crostini, and stuffed dates. A few larger plates make it easy to linger through dinner; curried cauliflower salad, seasonal polenta, and hearty flatbread are a few highlights." - Megan Hill, Jessamyn Tuttle
