Temple Bar

Temple Bar is the bar at Manuela Hotel, set within the hotel grounds in Bitez, Bodrum. The property occupies a garden-like site shaded by mature trees and surrounded by flowers, giving the bar a leafy setting close to the bay. Its location on Pomelan Caddesi places it within the hotel environment rather than on a separate restaurant strip.

The bar forms part of Manuela Hotel’s wider food and drink offering. The hotel operates a full-board concept with breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, while the tea garden serves tea and coffee throughout the day. This makes Temple Bar relevant both for hotel guests looking for a drink around the daily meal schedule and for those spending time in the hotel’s garden areas.

The setting is informal and closely connected with the hotel’s outdoor spaces. Trees provide shade across the grounds, and the surrounding flowers add colour without changing the relaxed character of the site. The tea garden provides a daytime option for hot drinks, while the bar gives the hotel a place for socialising beyond the restaurant and beach facilities.

Manuela Hotel also hosts salsa evenings, adding a dance-focused element to its programme. The schedule of these evenings can vary, so arrangements are best checked with the hotel before a visit. Temple Bar therefore suits hotel guests and others seeking a garden-based hotel bar with access to the property’s broader leisure and dining atmosphere.

The venue is at Manuela Hotel, Pomelan Cd. No:28, 48470 Bodrum/Muğla, Türkiye. The hotel’s family-run character, shaded grounds, tea garden, bar, restaurant, beach, and pool are all part of the same setting. Temple Bar is best understood as one part of this established hotel complex, rather than as an independent bar with a separate identity or menu.
