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.

We walked through St. George’s Arcade and it’s a must-visit landmark in Dublin, Ireland. As the country's first shopping centre and Europe's oldest, constructed in 1881, it holds a special place in architecture and commercialization. It also centralized shopping needs. The Arcade's Victorian charm is immediately evident. as soon as you walk up to it. It has the red brick and terracotta turrets. Inside, the atmosphere is bustling with large shops to internal booths with the natural sunlight shining in from the high vaulted glass roof. The eclectic mix of stalls and shops offers everything from vintage clothing and jewelry to artisanal foods and quirky souvenirs. Grab your souvenirs and creative collectibles here.

Not to be described as a shopping centre or mall, this is one of the oldest covered markets in Europe. It features some beautiful Victorian design embellishments that give it an authentic antique aesthetic. Here you can find great juices, rare old books, vinyl records, spa treatments, pre-loved clothing, jewellery and more in the boutique shops and permanent stalls. Despite its age and antiquity, this is a trendy destination with good footfall as it is located off George’s Street in the city centre.

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. "Simon's place" is a really lovely coffee shop in there right at the entrance off South Great George's Street. The record shop and 2nd hand shop worth a visit too. Also a little food stall where they sell chocolate coated nuts and all sorts of dried fruit and vegetables.

Definite recommend to visit! Lots of amazing small businesses to visit, there's something for everyone! Right now there are two stores going more the cutesy/kawaii & anime style, two stores have really cool clothes with more vintage vibes (but new), handmade jewellery and even food for all! There is so much more too, not just cutesy! Pictures are from the retro store!
