    Really amazing shopping mall that has the magic vibe like Harry Potter with shops that sell original and old books, Celtic jewelry, handcrafted shops, clothes and even tarot readings. If you're looking for a lovely and delicious veggie or vegan burger; go to FLIP which is also located in this shopping mall.

    Great eclectic shopping arcade in George's Street. An archway in the high victorian redbrick buildings on this section of the street lends a real bohemian air to the shopping experience. You can get a piercing done at the silver counter, buy vintage one off clothing, visit an Indian jewelery and ornament store, get your fortune told, ( though not in Covid times) and browse the old vynl records and money section. Then buy some original Irish glass and tiles or cards and gifts. Then head down the far end of the arcade and have some great freshly prepared food in the restaurants and cafe's. Visit the beautiful silver shop New Moon selling unusual silver rings, necklaces, semi precious stones suitable for men and women. Their are loads more shops there to see, definitely somewhere you will find a unique gift and spend time browsing and enjoying some great food. A favourite with independent minded people and it also attracts the discerning tourist.

    If you looking for a small gift, present or a souvenir, do not look any further! You may not know what you want or look for but I am sure they have it here! From books, pictures and jewelry to e-cigarettes! And after browsing/shopping you can get some food or your nails done. 😂

    Lovely place to walk through and just look at some stuff. The food they have is also not common and looks delicious.

    Little arcade in the center. Not the same as a shopping center, but it's pretty.

    Historic Victorian shopping mall. Just lovely to walk through and taste the atmosphere. There are mostly local shops now and some food shops. Well worth it.

    You must experience the arcade. Almost like an indoor flea market with vendors. So much to see. I purchased Dublin historic scenic pictures from an artist, a Hello Kitty wall clock, & gifts. Loved it. Love to purchase from local artists.

    I am a sucker for red brick.. 😁 This part of Dublin is very busy, quirky, colourful and fun. The Arcades have a few cool places to eat, Bodega being my favourite. You can buy sweets, jewelry, funny sun glasses and vintage style clothing. You can also walk around and people watch. There is something for everyone there...

    I was really looking forward to our visit, but unfortunately at least half of the shops were closed as we walked through. The shops that were open were not very appealing to us.

    I love this place, it has so many great, unusual but underrated shops, it's good for a look around and the architecture is lovely, just have a look around if you have a few bob, it's worth it and you might find a hidden gem.

    Lovely shops and stalls, feels like one of those places in Dublin with real character - strong candidate for being torn down and turned into a hotel at some stage in the next 10 years.

    Some of the shops here were totally generic, but others were unique/genuine. It's small, and is in a popular area already, so it's totally worth passing through.

    One of my favourite places in Dublin. Been coming here since I was really young. Always visit it when I'm back 'home'. The arcade hasn't changed and that's a good thing.

    Lovely little market with variety of stalls. Watch out as Market opening hours are not the same as stall opening hours and some stalls may be closed, e.g. on Sundays.

    Located at a popular tourist district in Dublin. It has a variety of interesting shops there but lots of them didn't open on Sunday so a bit disappointing when we got there :( Hopefully we can come back again to see the hustle and bustle of the place :)

    Some really quirky shops and nice places to eat. We had an amazing breakfast and very reasonably priced here. Can't remember the name but it was a little kiosk and we sat on bar stools. Guy was very funny.

    Quieter because of covid.

    A trip to the city would not be the same without a visit to George's Street Arcade. You are sure to find exactly what you need in the many quirky shops not to mention the magnificent Simon's place where cinnamon buns and freshly made food is always on offer.

  • 5/5 Tara F. 3 years ago on Google
    Atmospheric and friendly. This historic building provides a useful passageway between streets. Browse the stalls and shops as you stroll through. Pick up vintage clothing, something quirky. There's plenty of choice. Grab something to eat in Simon's Place, or one of the other options

    A lovely little selection of shops; grab a vegan burger and ice cream (non-vegans, you'll like it, too), have a wander and check out some wares, get your fortune told, buy some tasty dried fruit. A worthwhile visit.

  • 5/5 Tina W. 2 years ago on Google
    Unique pottery shop well worth a visit. Beautiful individual pieces at affordable prices.

  • 4/5 Dario Z. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is quite small, you can visit it in 15 minutes max. I liked the architecture and the vibe. I think it is good to have a street food/quick lunch, as shopping center I didn’t find anything

  • 5/5 Jim B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great wee spot. Coffee house at the mouth of the arcade. You can sit outside have a nice coffee and watch the world go by. They also have a downstairs loo. Very handy!

  • 5/5 Graham Ó M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the most unique places in Dublin city. You'll find a collection of small businesses here. Some new, some very old. The arcade has a character that showcases the care and personal of Dublin. I love the George's street Arcade. I grew up visiting it as a teenager. Made my longest latest friendships sipping tea there. Visit it the vendors and make a relationship that will span your lifetime.

  • 5/5 krystal a. 2 years ago on Google
    Cant resist a visit to georges arcade when im in town shopping, one of the few quirky places left in Dublin. I never leave here empty handed. I've had 2 of ny piercings done here too!

  • 5/5 Reza 2 years ago on Google
    If you expect a big passage, well lower your expectations. This place is quite nice but I wanted more of it. What a pitty this gorgeous piece of urban architecture reaches to it's end in a few steps. But still, it's a must visit in central dublin. Plan a visit to all the malls and antique shops, cafes and restaurants nearby, especially Powerscourt.

  • 4/5 Iano 2 years ago on Google
    A charming victorian market located in the bustling South City area of George's Street. It houses record shops, clothing stores and several cafes within it's space. George's Street Arcade, or the Market Arcade as it is sometimes known, is a great place to go to to get gifts and there's plenty to choose from, all tucked into its environs. You definitely want to be checking this place out if you're visiting DC.

  • 5/5 Ranjith B. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a nice market encompassing a series of stalls offering good variety and range of items such as clothing, jewellery, souvenirs, food and lots more.

  • 5/5 Suzanne S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this little gem of Dublin. Quaint and quirky pieces can be found,...art, jewellery clothes..I remember going there as a teenager for jewellery that was a bit more edgy and different.

  • 5/5 christian d. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Lea Chua T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there at night so some of the shops were closed. But they had a good selection of shops so worth checking it out.

  • 5/5 carl h. 1 year ago on Google
    A step back in time visiting this arcade! Great to see stalls and shops selling collectables from books and civil war memorabilia, alongside dinky cafes and food stalls for a quick tasty bite! I always love the explosion of smells and the cacophony of foreign voices and footsteps! A 'MUST-VISIT' for all tourists!

  • 5/5 Janka U. 1 year ago on Google
    The employees at Bodega were lovely, patient and the food was okay ( i didn't want it, but still got to finish it). The prices were a bit much , but nothing earth-shattering here in Ireland.

  • 4/5 Alan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool Victorian arcade with a mix of small shops selling everything from jewelry, second hand clothes, wine, olives, cards along with other alternative shops and cafe. Look up when passing through

  • 5/5 Mark G. 1 year ago on Google
    Marvellous old market mall - atmospheric and with genuinely niche stalls selling all sorts of interesting stuff, from vinyl records to jewellery and comic book cover art etc

  • 5/5 Herb U. 1 year ago on Google
    I love George's St arcade. There is something magical about all those stalls and shops huddled together like a troll market. From retro clothes to vinyl records, all sorts of jewelry to art, posters and even a hat shop, and my favourite, a second hand bookshop with a wonderful collection of folio books; George's St arcade has it all.

  • 5/5 Martin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice old Market Hall in the Dublin City. Many little shops with some handcrafted things. On Sunday the Market hall is open but the most shops are closed

  • 5/5 Dennis S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of those nice, quaint, places that are fast dying out. We should use and preserve them. Its so good to meet with caring and pleasant traders who are interested and happy in what they are doing.

  • 4/5 Conor D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great building that adds character to the area. Nice diversity in the shops and stalls present in the arcade. It's also really nice to support the businesses and the landlord as they were very generous to their tenants during covid so it's nice to give back

  • 5/5 Anwesha G. 1 year ago on Google
    George's street Arcade was very memorable to me and my family. The shops have very cute stuff lying out there for the customers. You could find imitation jewelry, souvenirs, books and novels📚, nail art studio, art cafe, etc. We picked up a very dear novel from one of the stores. It was a very old indian cultural book that we never thought we would find in Ireland. Do check out George's street Arcade for some surprises.

  • 5/5 Aoife M. 1 year ago on Google
    As you get to the end of the market at the right, there are 2 stall 1 sells "hello kitty" and the other sells "anime", both stalls are super helpful, the lady at the anime stall is especially helpful, I went there to the anime stall to buy some pins/batches and the lady took out a brown bag filled with studio ghibli/Harry Potter batches, 1 batche is €3(i think), 2 batches are €6 (I think) and 3 batches are €15 (not bad) the batches are great quality, the second stall is just as good as the last stall, everything is cheap and affordable and such good quality, Both ladies in the stalls are so nice and I would definitely recommend these stalls, if I could I would give 3000 stars

  • 5/5 Lorna S. 1 year ago on Google
    A little narrow and packed at times, my daughter likes to visit Rare, a kpop shop with both un-official and official merchandise. There are lovely shops along the way that have beautiful pins, books, clothes, any of that sort.

  • 5/5 Yaz H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of great shops. I love this place 🤍

  • 4/5 El Mito De la C. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Midge Y. 10 months ago on Google
    I love the arcade so much! It's a great stop for teens and older ppl as well, it can get a little cramped but not a huge issue! They have a large variety of shops and food so there will be something for everyone! Please give it a stop if you're in Dublin ✨

  • 5/5 B B. 7 months ago on Google
    Soooo much fun!! Security here is amazing, a guy force kissed me and security walked around with me trying to find him. I couldn’t but still they seriously care about their patrons. Also such a good time and the drinks aren’t too much, massive smoking area, and the dance floor is the best

  • 5/5 Inga L. 7 months ago on Google
    The arcade is a charming red brick building that used to be a meat hall so it's designed to be cool in there and one can feel the chill even on summers day. Nice part of the old Dublin. A few quirky shops and some stalls. "Simons place" is a really lovely coffee shop in there right at the entrance. The record shop and 2nd hand shop worth a visit too.

  • 5/5 Mz T. 7 months ago on Google
    October 2022-great little walking street which is indoors, and contains many little shops and restaurants. We stopped at Rare, a little clothing and accessories store focusing on anime and rave type gear, and I picked up a Spirited Away sweater and a hoodie with a cat in sunglasses.
