Is Stoneybatter really the coolest neighbourhood in Ireland?

 

Smithfield Square & Stoneybatter is a an up-and-coming traditional area bursting with culture receiving big investment on Dublin’s northside . Right on the luas line, these areas boast high-end apartments as well as commercial property. Smithfield Square is a community at the heart of Dublin 7. Come for the culture, stay for the night life. With Dublin city centre on its door step, Smithfield is the perfect place to live, work, wine, dine and be entertained. The Light house Cinema and, the newly renovated Jameson distillery and the Museum of Decorative Arts and History in Collins Barracks are just a few of the amenities located in Smithfield with a plethora of cafes, bars and restaurants.

 

Until a few years ago, Dublin’s working-class neighbourhood of Stoneybatter and its environs, just north of the river Liffey, were run-down and little talked about. Following a surge of ambivalently received gentrification, Stoneybatter has become synonymous with Dublin hipsterism. Mountain beards and craft beers are de rigueur, and you needn’t look hard to find “hot yoga” venues, art spaces and community squats.
