Broadstone Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Broadstone
Broadstone is a historic inner-city neighbourhood in Dublin 7, centred on the broad plaza and canal basin at the former terminus of the Royal Canal. It sits between Phibsborough, Smithfield, Cabra, Dorset Street and the north city centre, giving it a distinctly urban, well-connected character with a mix of period terraces, converted buildings, apartments and student accommodation. The area is home to Grangegorman’s expanding education and healthcare campus, while Dublin city centre and the independent shops of Phibsborough are close by. Commuters can walk or cycle into the centre, use Broadstone–DIT Luas stop, or connect with frequent Dublin Bus services on nearby Constitution Hill, Dorset Street and Phibsborough Road. Local days out include the Royal Canal towpath, Blessington Street Basin and the green spaces of the Grangegorman campus. Pubs, cafés and restaurants are concentrated around Phibsborough, Smithfield and Stoneybatter, with Broadstone’s central location making the wider north inner city’s food and nightlife easily accessible. The neighbourhood is also close to Dublin’s major cultural landmarks, including the King’s Inns, the National Museum at Collins Barracks and the historic Four Courts area.
