Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre

Ein sehr schönes ShoppingCenter, vor allem das Bauwerk ist beachtlich. Im Inneren eine große überdimensionale Uhr von der Decke hängend. Shopping auf 3 Etagen, da ist für fast jeden etwas dabei. Sehr schöné Kinderbekleidung gibt es bei Mothercare im Erdgeschoss.

The mall is not large but the building, especially the ceiling is quite beautiful-​worth going inside even if you aren’t shopping. There is a department store-​Dunnes, that is not too large but has a variety. There is an Irish souvenir store with t-​shirts, sweaters and a a variety of souvenirs. There is a hat shop, glasses shop, various clothing shops and some restaurants. If you are in the area, it is worth a stroll through even if you aren’t shopping.

I would come in here even if I wasn’t shopping! It’s absolutely beautiful– especially when decorated for the holidays! I’d generally come here for the Dunne’s, the Tiger, or the TK Maxx. There are many other shops but they’re all a bit miscellaneous. They do have an Eddie Rocket’s and an Insomnia, which I appreciate. I find it a bit annoying that there is a charge to use the bathrooms upstairs. Apart from that, I’ll keep coming here!

As nice as it is to walk around it and enjoy the atmosphere the shopping center has. The shops aren’t the best and the food is even worse. There isn’t a great selection for me personally. I don’t shop in most of the shops that are available in here. There used to be a cute little teddy shop I loved for presents but it’s gone now :(
The building is old and never really had anything done to it but there’s lots of real sunlight and it’s nice on rainy days to see the rain on the roof. Up top you’ll find wildcat ink that are good for tattoos and some nice art from local artists. Oh and you have to pay for the bathroom on the top floor! Who does that?!

I hang around this shopping centre a lot because I work close by and the Irish weather tends to keep you indoor even on your hour of freedom. So I know the place. I pretty much go to the same shops all the time. I have my habits in Dunnes, TkMaxx, Tiger, Boots, Easons. There are also smaller shops, I only avoid them because the staff tries to talk to me and I can’t deal with human interaction. I like the place. The structure is beautiful, even after so many years roaming aimlessly between the shops. The only really bad point would be the mobile and internet coverage. What is going on there? I don’t want contact with physical people but I do want to read reviews before buying make up or text my husband about what he’d like for dinner.

Uno de los lugares que me hicieron muy feliz en mi estancia en Dublin. Me la pasaba horas merodeando en este sitio, visitando tiendas, haciendo shopping. Las instalaciones son muy bonitas y es un centro comercial que aunque es relativamente pequeño te permite encontrar todo lo que necesites.

This place gets me every time for the amazing building it is… Inside the ceiling is so grand and impressive, I love to stroll through this shopping centre though, let’s get down to business!
The shops within, well personally there’s not a lot in this place that appeals to me… There’s been a big facelift done with the Dunnes Stores in here and where I visit most, Carousel which is a lovely vintage style ladies clothing store.
Car park here is confusing to no end, I dread parking here and it’s really a last resort!
Toilets, they have a charge to use them… An attendant manages and no matter how hard off you are, you’re not getting in without paying. For me, a shopping centre should not be allowed charge, it’s such a ridiculous unnecessary and inconvenient experience for customers

Un superbe édifice. Allez-​y pour visiter les lieux plutôt que pour acheter. Admirez la merveilleuse architecture du bâtiment depuis le haut celui-​ci, c’est encore mieux.

Mostly full of budget brands or lower tier shops. You also have to pay to use the restrooms here. Perfect location, but shoddy execution.

When I first moved to Dublin as a naïve young Cork girl looking for adventure in the big city, I was pretty snobby about this shopping centre. It smelled a bit weird and the place was ancient and outdated, with no shops of real interest to my high-​street oriented fashion sense.
I have to say though, as the years went on and particular in the last two years of actually working in the city, I’ve really grown to love this place. It’s still old and outdated, but there’s a real charm and lightness to the interior, the old fashioned kiosks layout and the huge iconic clock at its centre. The shops may or may not have improved over the years, but I’ve definitely become more inclined to climb the stairs and actually explore all the strange and interesting little boutiques and shops. There’s also a significant food-​court area of the centre on the third floor that I was totally unaware of until recently. I haven’t eaten there but where the seating is, there’s a great view over the end of grafton street and the hustle and bustle of one of Dublin’s most iconic areas.
In falling in love with Dublin, I just learned to love Stephen’s Green, the auld flower that she is.

I think this shopping centre has seen much better days. I think ideally they would close it down and do a major refit. Its in a prime shopping area and it could be fantastic. Its got too many small units and I feel its very tired and run down looking. I know it would cost them to close but given the area and the improving economy and the potential, I think it would be worth doing.

Wow. This shopping centre is amazing. The place is awesome, all the best shops. Got to be the best shopping mall I have ever been in by far. And it had a TKMAXX yay:) honestly. This place is giant. 100 thumbs up. If you are a tourist, it has some shops for you too:)

I’ve come here a million times since moving to Dublin since it’s really convenient, has a good variety of shops (and is just next to my college!).
You can get most stuff in here; There is a Gamestop, Easons, Dunnes, a card shop, TK Maxx, Ticket Master, Petermark hair salon, Bushra’s Beauty salon, Claires, Boots, Argos, costume shops, and a few clothes shops and cafes. The Dunnes here is one of the biggest Dunnes with a good variety, but the Easons is tiny compared to the one on O’Connell (it used to be Hughs & Hughs here). Julian which sells evening gowns/​debs dresses is also on the second floor.
There’s also a few unusual (and very expensive) shops on the very top floor, like Asha which sells punk clothes, a Japanese store selling Japanese crafts (very very pricy by the way), craft and art shops, a repair shop and a tattoo parlour. There is also an Acupuncture place which I went in one and was practically attacked my the staff their trying to get my to fork out almost 800 euro for some silly acupuncture course (which I didn’t buy of course); once you go in, they won’t let you leave.
Bad part= toilets. Who pays to go to the toilet?!? pure ridiculous!
Overall, although the shopping centre itself is quite small, you can get most stuff here, and it covers the kind of ‘essentials’ like Dunnes, Boots and Argos. But the toilet charge makes me more likely to go to Jervis instead.

The place is really nice and worth visiting, but this is definitely not a place I like to go shopping.
The only reason why I go there is the piercing shop on the last floor. The other shops are pretty poor quality and budget brands…
It’s really too bad since the place is beautiful and the location is great, I’m really disappointed they don’t have actual cool shops, even chains would have been better that the shops they have there.
I have never tried the food court there but it seems like most of the things on the last floor are closed, and the last floor is pretty much of a no mans land anyway.

Un très chouette centre commercial en plein centre de Dublin.
Trois étages de boutiques diverses et variées. Mais principalement touristiques !
Pas de quoi se rhabiller ou faire une vraie virée shopping. Pour cela, il vaut mieux se balader dans les rues aux alentours.
La «boutique en plus»? Tiger, une sorte de Zig Zag un peu plus pointu et design.
Il y a évidemment de quoi manger ou simplement grignoter. J’ai louché sur un stand de cupcakes ultra appêtissants !
Le centre commercial a plusieurs entrées/​sorties, des escaliers mais aussi des escalators pour les plus âgés. Vous y trouverez également des toilettes à 20cts.
Le petit plus? Le toit verrière très impressionnant et les décos de Noël qui donnent au lieu un côté assez magique.

4 étoiles bien méritées pour l’architecture, mais ce serait plutot 3 pour les boutiques et restaurants.
Le lieu est juste magnifique, avec une voute somptueuse, et un travail architectural comme on en voit rarement. Niveau shopping, c’est as non plus extraordinaire: des boutiques, mais pas beaucoup de choix. Les restaurants au dernier étage sont pas top, à l’exception d’une chaine qui propose de composer son propre wok de noodle: c’est très bon, et vraiment original.
Si vous êtes à Dublin, passez y: le lieu vaut vraiment le coup d’oeil !

It’s a great Shopping!

Well it’s not the best shopping centre in Dublin by a long shot but it really is a Dublin institution and is instantly recognisable. I think a lot of Dublin people take it from granted and never really look at the building itself. Like a big conservatory or cruise shop parked at the top of Grafton street it has a sort of old world beauty about it.
The food court has undergone a big refurbishment and kylemore has been replaced with burritos, Eddie rockets, Asian food and a traditional hot food and sandwich bar all with free wifi

It’s not the best shopping centre in Dublin, but it’s the one I’ve probably been to the most due to the location. It’s the closest SC to where I work and can make it into a good few shops on my lunch break, if I really fly around.
The architecture is a highlight. I guess I’m kinda used to it now, but still the big clock catches my attention every now and then.
Some shops inside are not the cheapest places: Boots, Benetton, Argos. But there are some value places: TK Maxx, Dunnes.
There’s also a sizeable foodhall, which has been revamped recently. I’ve only been to the burrito bar and that was only ok.
Toilets are 20 cent to use, but if you have a receipt from the foodhall, that gets you in for free. Or at least it use too.

I came here twice on my visit to Dublin. It is a very nice shopping center. Right in the middle of Downtown Dublin. There is quite a bit to see here.
Even a TK Maxx, which for my Americans friends is very much like TJ MAxx, even the same lettering.
There is a food court on the top floor and a few on the ground floor. It is a beautiful place, decorated very nicely. Almost looking like a New Orleans type building to me.
Many cool shops to choose from. even a few I shopped in.
There is also a Boots which is the Bees Knees in the UK.
It is more of an indoor mall, which is a nice thing rather than going from shop to shop, when it is cold and windy. Or even raining.
The only thing that was not the coolest is you have to pay to use the toilets here.
It is a small amount of money, but if you had a lot of children with you it would kind a be a pain. But, they probably have to do that to keep all the homeless and drunks out I guess.
Of course that is the way in a lot of the UK countries. Pay Toilets, I remember it from when I was a child as well.
If that is my only complaint, not bad right. Of course one more thing, parking can be more than difficult. Just better to walk down here.

Not a bad shopping center. You have a lot of places to choose from. Dunnes, TK Max, bags, shoes, clothes & a few snack places.
I really like the donegal Irish shop on the top level. I usually get Irish gifts here.
But not one bench to rest on the bottom level. Get a clue from other metropolitan cities and give us a people watching spot.

I really wish I could give St Stephen’s Green a better rating than this but I don’t feel I can! Despite the abundance of shops it just feels like there’s nothing there! Most of the shops are budget brands (Dunnes/​TK Maxx etc) with just one or 2 boutiques and a handful of Irish souvenir shops. Not great really!
However the food court is excellent, the location is excellent, the building itself is beautiful and there are plenty of shops in the area around the centre to keep you entertained.
Also note that you must pay 20c to use their bathrooms which in my opinion is an absolute joke!

St Stephens Shopping center is set in a magnificent building at the northwest corner of St Stephens green across from the archway. It has an open greenhouse conservation type feel for it and houses Europe’s largest indoor clock. On a sunny day, the light cascading into the building is amazing. Aesthetically this place checks all the boxes and is photographed quite a bit both inside and out.
Down the downside would probably be the lack of variety of shops. The main shops Dunnes, Boots, TK Maxx, Argos, Mothercare certainly make the shopping center useful, especially with its great location. I find that if I need a good toy store for example, I need to head to Henry street or Dundrum (due to my lack of a car to more far flung locations).
One gripe also is the 20 cent charge for the restrooms on the top floor and the lack of a restroom for customers in the larger stores like Dunnes. Couldn’t they even allow paying customers the use of restrooms for free by displaying a receipt?
Overall, this place still warrants four stars and is a place which I am a frequent customer.

With its ornate white detail and raised greenhouse frame, I really thought this was a refurbished building from the 19^th century, an Irish landmark of historical importance. Imagine my surprise to find out it opened only in 1988 taking over a car park surrounded by punk stalls where U2 played during their salad days. Now it’s a tri-​level shopping center with inconveniently located escalators and random stores that frankly didn’t hold that much appeal to me. The only stores that could be considered flagships are Dunnes, presumably Ireland’s answer to Target, and T.K. Maxx, the European version of T.J. Maxx.
Otherwise, it’s a series of shops that feature goth clothing, novelty items, and a whole lotta shoes. It just strikes me as a waste of prime real estate since it holds such a central location off the main commercial corridor of Grafton Street. It’s also right across the road from its popular namesake park. I was in there looking for something to eat for lunch and only found a food court that was quite similar to any that I’ve seen stateside in a suburban mall including a very unappetizing Chinese fast food counter. Once I got out of there, I ended up dining at Harry’s on the Green on the outside of the shopping center. It turned out to be its saving grace.

Stephen’s Green. Arguably the most beautiful building in Dublin.
Like stepping into a giant conservatory, if you HAVE to go shopping on a sunny day, at least you can feel like you’re outside!
The only downside with the layout is the practicality of it all. It is quite higgledepiggledee (Yes that is how you spell it!). Not a place for a power shop. Then again, despite housing over 100 outlets (including Dunnes, TK Maxx, and Boots), there’s something not quite ‘there’ about the shopping selection. There seems to be only the option of chain shops, or low-​budget crappy-​quality kinda places. Of course there are exceptions, but generally speaking, an overhaul of stores here would probably do this place the world of good.
(Obviously Wrestling Mania would still make the cut — the only place in Ireland devoted to wrestling, UFC, WWF, and all the rest of those particular brands. Random or wha!)
Either way, if you fancy a leisurely Sunday stroll, away from the elements, the Green is an alright place to start.
Be careful if you’re parking your car here though. It’s an extremely narrow car park, with lots of opportunity for scrapage (yes, personal experience, there, I said it!) Also — it’s extremely expensive, nearly 4 euro an hour. If you’re going to be there for the day, I would advise logging on to Qpark and you can get 24 hours for € 15, or € 5 overnight. If you’re paying per hour, make sure you take note of the ‘or part thereof’ bit in the pricing! I parked here the other day for an hour and five minutes and paid about 7 yoyos for the privilege!

Ein tolles Shopping im Zentrum von Dublin.
Hier bekommt man (fast) alles.

Architecture magnifique

Kann mich dem vorherigen Post anschließen, möchte aber noch hinzufügen, das sich im Center auch ein kleines Ticketbüro befindet, bei dem man karten für Konzerte erstehen kann.

Avoir quand on est à Dublin, si on veut faire du shopping évidemment. Pleins de boutiques de fringues sympa, de déco, des p’tits bars, des snacks.
Le cadre est très agréable avec beaucoup de vitres qui laissent entrer la lumière. Même quand il fait tristoune dehors, on a une impression de soleil ;)

Das Shopping Center liegt am Anfang der Fußgängerzone, hier findet man zahlreiche Geschäfte auf mehreren Etagen mit Bekleidung, Kunst und Bilder, Taschen, Parfüm etc. und auch allerhand Lokale.
Im Quiz Shop findet man junge Mode zu günstigen Preisen, wie z.B. Jeans Made in China für 38 Euro, Tops, Kleider etc.
Man sollte bloß aufpassen, ob die Nähte alle in Ordnung sind, denn die Qualität der Verarbeitung ist nicht so gut.
