About Capel Street
Capel Street is a lively, central Dublin street running north from the River Liffey towards Parnell Street, sitting between the south city centre, Smithfield and the north inner city. It has an urban, mixed-use character, with apartments and traditional city buildings above an unusually varied collection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and late-opening venues. The area is especially known for its international food scene, with places serving Asian, Middle Eastern, African and European cuisines alongside Irish pubs and modern bars. Residents are within easy walking distance of Henry Street, Mary Street, Jervis Shopping Centre, Temple Bar and the cultural attractions around Parnell Square and Smithfield. Education provision nearby includes primary and secondary schools in the north inner city, as well as colleges and language schools in the wider city centre. Public transport is excellent, with frequent Dublin Bus services, nearby Luas stops at Jervis and Dominick, and Dublin Connolly and Heuston stations accessible by short bus or taxi journeys. The Liffey quays, Phoenix Park and the River Liffey provide nearby opportunities for walking and leisure, while the street itself is well served by everyday services, takeaway food, cafés and nightlife. Living here suits people who value walkability, city-centre convenience and an energetic atmosphere over a quiet suburban setting.
