Smithfield which lies immediately to the west of Capel Street is undergoing huge transformation from a traditional market area to a new urban quarter including plans for exciting redevelopment of the former Dublin City Fruit Markets for gourmet food and associated uses.

It includes an eclectic mix of traditional retail and pubs complemented by new food and beverage operators. Among the notable neighbours are: Louis Copeland- Gentlemen's Tailor and Outfitter; Panti Bar; Brother Hubbard; Bar 1661 and many others.
