About Capel Street
Capel Street is a central Dublin city-centre locality in D01, running north from the River Liffey towards the Parnell Street and Phibsborough side of the inner city. It has an urban, diverse and energetic character, with a mix of period buildings, apartments, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and long-established businesses. Living here means having most daily needs within a short walk, including Jervis Shopping Centre, Henry Street, Mary Street and the wider city-centre retail area. The street is particularly known for its varied dining scene, with restaurants, cafés, takeaways and bars reflecting Dublin’s multicultural city-centre population, while Temple Bar, Smithfield and the south city centre are also close by. Public transport is strong, with Jervis Luas stop, numerous city bus routes and nearby Dublin Bus corridors, while Connolly Station and Heuston Station are accessible by tram or bus. Families have access to several city-centre primary and secondary schools, although homes here are more commonly suited to professionals, students and residents who value a car-free lifestyle. Nearby cultural and leisure attractions include the GPO and O’Connell Street, the Ilac Centre, the Chester Beatty and the broad range of venues, parks and amenities around the city centre.
