About Capel Street
Capel Street (D01) sits on the north side of the River Liffey, linking the quays with Parnell Street and lying between Smithfield and the South City Centre. One of Dublin’s oldest streets, it has evolved into a lively, largely pedestrian-friendly strip known for independent restaurants, cafés and late-opening bars. Living here means being at the heart of the action, with Temple Bar, Henry Street and Mary Street all a short stroll away, and daily essentials available in Jervis Shopping Centre just off the quays. The area has a cosmopolitan feel, with everything from traditional pubs to Brazilian, Middle Eastern and Asian eateries lining the street. Transport is excellent: the Luas Green Line stops at Jervis and the Red Line at Four Courts, while numerous Dublin Bus routes run along the quays. Tara Street DART station is within walking distance for coastal and suburban rail links, making commuting straightforward. While Capel Street itself is urban and apartment-focused, a range of primary and secondary schools are located within the wider north inner city, along with third-level institutions such as Trinity College Dublin nearby.
