Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    I went to this shop in dublin and it has everything that you can think of related to Irish gifts. There are a lot of locations and some are smaller than others. From shirts to mugs to magnets to food items it really does have a lot. Having said that there are probably better prices elsewhere.

    Jam Art Factory is the best shop in Dublin! Moya was incredibly helpful in recommending art for us to take home with us from our trip. This store is full of beautiful art from local artists.

    Avoca is my go to shopping store in Ireland. I always buy my Mother-In-Law a scarf from there and a scarf for myself. I do miss their hot water bottles and tea towels, which were a more economic gift to bring home. However, there is now a restaurant on the third floor which is a terrific spot for brunch, lunch or tea. Please note, the cafe is expensive for what you get. We have a light lunch for 2 that cost over $80 Euros.

    Quality products, with friendly staff and a good range of prices and products. The Christmas range and the collars for dogs are lovely too.

    Come one, come all and take in the nostalgic scenery of this quaint lil’ bookstore! My son and I were left riveted by its inviting spirit and addictive charm. With cogent resemblance of what used to be a family-owned pharmacy, its image-covered walls and cherry wood built-ins still oozed authentic grace and lingering hints of an importance to a once bustling, tight knits community when a name like Oscar Wilde was a simple common place among friends and neighbors alike.

    From the moment we stepped over the threshold, a thinly veiled ray of nostalgic sunlight instantly overtook every delighted breath seeping from my lungs, transporting us to a time when thoughts of any of their own being seen as a stranger didn’t exist.

    Irish tunes fox-trotted lowly in the background, giving us the energy that this historical gem was juicy and ripe for the picking and would satisfy our eager curiosity.

    This trice was classical and at the same time enchanting, to say the least…

    The friendly End Keep greeted us with a heartfelt grin and before long shared priceless memories of an estoic period, releasing glorious visions of what once was within every syllable he spoke. My lust for literary knowledge propelled me down a fascinating rabbit hole from which I didn’t want to ever return.

    The past was never so intoxicating, as he told of factual nuggets you’d never find written in any non-fictional tale, unless the author had steep endemic ties to the district. By the end of his portrayal, a visual painting the likes of Jack Yeats, was damp on the canvas of our youthful imagination.

    I was so addicted to gaudy thoughts of the old country, I wanted to buy a literary gem just to be written into the eclectic pages of its vibrant existence one day.

    Although he invited us to return later for a French book reading and perhaps some fetching music afterwards, the moment was not to be (logistics is a nightmare).

    Still, the darling moment will forever be imprinted on our souls. I, for one cannot wait to return home to the States and digest both novels purchased there (Ulysses & Sarah Hamilton’s latest) and remember the day Sweny became apart of our neighborhood too.

    P.S if you visit the area, don’t just snap a pic of the exterior. Venture in further… the experience will truly enrich your lives!

    We stumbled upon this little gem, which unfortunately, is going out of business, per the signs. All clothing was 50 percent off. We bought some gifts here.

    Discovered last February (I was just passing next to it with a friend and bought some prints), it is a little space full of art. If you have an empty wall, go there and you'll find something to make it look good. Very kind people will welcome you.

    My wife and I recently purchased a beautiful Donegal tweed jacket and also a hand-woven flat cap at Kevin & Howlin while in Dublin. The selection of fabrics is the best that we found in Dublin, the store had a good selection in hard-to-find sizes, and they were perfectly happy to have alterations made and then to ship the garments overseas via air post. Sarah-Jayne who helped us is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The items are magnificent and fit perfectly. Highly recommended if you are interested in Irish tweed! Go raibh mile maith agaibh.

    The Kilkenny Store is in a great position on Nassau street and popular with locals and tourists. They showcase Irish artists and designers in their store. It s great store for gifts or something special for the home.
    Upstairs they have a fabulous cafe with great fresh food and lovely views out over Nassau Street. Well worth visiting.

    Only had a hot chocolate today, they asked if I wanted cream instead of just assuming everyone wants cream which was excellent, very happy that they use milk in the hot chocolates instead of cheap water “hot chocolates”, Got some cute little chocolate flakes on top and a free chocolate to try after I ordered.

    We had a fantastic time with the crew in the Artisan Brew Academy, Don has a great set-up and we thoroughly our time there, some of the best laughs we've had in ages. Tasty beers, some samples of wine and a bit of education on the whole process, top class, especially if you're a group like us looking for an afternoon activity when on a stag party and something a little different from the normal run of activities around, highly recommend!!

    Outstanding service from Ciarán on the first floor. They were outstandingly knowledgeable about all of the books within the section I was searching but Ciarán also really went out of the way to help me find any book relating to Man United for my 10 year old nephew. Thank you Ciarán. You’re an incredible asset to the shop. It’s difficult to provide such amazing service at as busy a time as Christmas but Ciarán excelled and made my trip a much happier one. Thank you and Happy Christmas. 🎄😊

    A hidden treasure! It took me a minute to find this shop but so glad I persevered. The staff was very helpful and I love their own line of yarn…so many gorgeous colorways!
