Dublin’s south side is an increasingly good place to be as a creative, with a tight-knit design community that is incredibly welcoming. The streets are in a constant state of flux, with new restaurants and shops joining the classic historic charm that the city is steeped in. There’s nothing better than spending a Sunday wandering around the myriad of book stores before retiring to a cosy pub for the evening.
Labyrinthian shop that sells homewares, cooking equipment, gadgets and other paraphernalia
Repurposed Chinese restaurant that now almost exclusively serves delicious chicken of many varieties
Quite possibly the best located pub in the city. If you wander by on a sunny day, there isn’t a better decision you can make than to stop and have a seat outside and watch people stroll by. Boasting a rich literary history with customers that included Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O’Brien, Grogan’s somehow keeps a hold of that creative sensibility to this day. They don’t make a bad cheese toastie either.
