About Capel Street
Capel Street is a lively, central Dublin city-centre street in D01, running north from the River Liffey towards the Phibsborough and Parnell Square side of the city. It has an urban, mixed-use character, with apartments above independent shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and newer international eateries. Living here means having most daily needs within walking distance, including Jervis Shopping Centre, Henry Street shopping and services around Parnell Street. The area is particularly well connected: Jervis Luas stop, numerous Dublin Bus routes and nearby Dublin Connolly and Heuston stations provide options for city and regional commuting. Education is also accessible, with primary and secondary schools, further-education providers and Dublin city-centre colleges within walking or short public-transport distance. Nearby attractions include the Garden of Remembrance, the Hugh Lane Gallery, the National Museum of Ireland – Decorative Arts & History at Collins Barracks, and the cultural venues of Smithfield and Temple Bar. Capel Street itself is known for its varied dining scene and busy evening atmosphere, while the surrounding streets offer pubs, cafés, takeaways and restaurants serving food from around the world. This is a highly convenient location for people who value walkability and urban energy, although traffic, nightlife and limited private outdoor space are part of city-centre living.
