Traditionally one of the city’s best-known mercantile districts, the streets of The Liberties still retain many family-run independent retailers and local specialists. You’ll find services from the cradle to the grave here, including fashion, homewares, groceries and lots more. Thomas Street bustles on ‘the money side’ and relaxes on ‘the sunny side’, while small markets and specialist stores operate on Meath Street. Nearby Francis Street is best known for its collection of antique shops, vintage shops and galleries – you can buy everything from chintz to a Chippendale!
Francis Street lies at the heart of The Liberties and is a well-known haunt for lovers of antiques and curios. In recent years the street’s offer has grown to include contemporary galleries, vintage stores, craft spaces, auction houses and more. The Art & Antiques Quarter is a must-visit for bargain hunters and discerning shoppers alike.
For many, it’s the ultimate slice of authentic Dublin streetlife. Meath Street is at its most lively on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, when traders crowd the street selling everything from faux designer-wear to household essentials. There are indoor markets too such as the long-established Liberty Market which anchors the street. In between there’s shops, cafes and pubs. Meanwhile, St Catherine’s Church, with its ‘secret garden’ grotto, is a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle.
The Earl of Meath’s old marketplace may have seen better days, but Newmarket is now undergoing a resurgence that will transform the area over the coming years. Planned development of the square will bring indoor markets and retail and a destination outdoor events and markets space. The streets off Newmarket includes some of the area's new whiskey distilleries and excellent places to eat.
