    Beautiful place for a walk through history. Has some great collections of porcelain cutlery and some great jackets too. It felt a little over priced compared to other stuff, but I guess it's worth the work they put into it.

    Interesting selection of vintage signage, clothing and ephemera. There is quite a lot of 'repro', but still some unique items. Well worth a stroke through.

    Haven't been in here in ages and we were really looking forward to seeing Mother Hubards again. Unfortunately it is not suitable if you have somebody with a mobility disability so avoid the embarrassment of being told to leave if you do or are with someone who does have a medical condition of this sort.

    a friend described this place with “they definitely know the worth of the items they’re selling…” in reference to the price range being a bit on the high end. Yes, it’s a second-hand store but not for people who might be looking for things for cheap. However, there are SO MANY cute things in there! Lots of old, homey, and antique-y decorations and items and it made me feel like I was going through my grandma’s attic again. Absolute must for visit whether you’re just visiting Cork or want somewhere to treasure hunt on a weekend!

  • 5/5 Amy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic spot to find some hidden gems.

    This place is not worth visiting. A lot of hackneyed old Guiness memorabilia, chipped china, dusty books and magazines, and a few interesting pieces, grossly overpriced. Save your money and visit charity shops instead.

    They have some good stuff, but you have to wade through a pile of junk to find it. The tools are rusty and getting worse. The cloths smell like damp and it’s a fifty fifty chance it will be new junk or old treasure you pick up, over priced or under priced. It’s worth checking out if you are in the area.

    This is a really cool antique shop located in Cork City. It has many items to look at. From collectors items to genuine actual home decoration. I would highly recommend a visit to this store if you like old fashioned items and/or antique products. The staff are very nice and very helpful. I bought old Irish notes here where I could not find anywhere else in the city. This is ideal for coin collectors. They also have vintage clothing, music and everything really. I would not miss this place if you like to shop for vintage or antiques.

    So many cool things to look at wish I could have bought some but the suitcases were full

    Amazing things for christmas and many other types of trinkets. Genuinely vintage and affordable. The staff were very nice also.

    No idea how this place gets so many positive reviews. It is a jumble of junk. None of the sellers bothers to display things in a pleasant or even organized way. I give it two stars just on account of the friendly people we encountered there.

    Love browsing around this place, hidden icons are among the array of collectable items, loads of memorabilia on display, bits and pieces in every corner , here is a picture of my latest purchase ♥️

  • 5/5 Mauro M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great variety and well organised. A creative way to shop for souvenirs.

  • 5/5 Elise Sauer De A. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Linda de G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great vintage flea market, lots of cool clothes, bric a brac, books etc.

  • 1/5 oleksy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very rude people working there. I took an item, had it in my arms and a women just came right behind me and took it from my hands without asking and doubled the price of it. And the place is dirty, dusty, there is mostly junk in there, and for insane prices. Not worth it, they don't even bother to be polite with customers.

    Great place with very helpful people working there. If you take some consideration into account regarding taking pictures, which is only normal to ask permission, you'll get great help and I even got a recommendation for another place since I looked for something specific they did not have. Found a few treasures here, if you are willing to put in the search, you'll definitely find some things that are not easy to be found anywhere else. Got myself a beautiful set of 90's art deco Miami Style vases, and a green shaded office lamp that was once popular at banks. But pricy maybe but definitely worth the price!
