Dorset Street Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Dorset Street
Dorset Street is a busy inner-city corridor in Dublin 7, running between the city centre and Phibsborough, with Broadstone and Parnell Square close by. It combines established red-brick terraces, apartments, shops and offices with a lively, urban atmosphere rather than a quiet suburban feel. Residents are within walking distance of schools, colleges, hospitals, cultural venues and the extensive shops and services of Dublin city centre. Primary and secondary options nearby include Henrietta Street School, St Mary’s Primary School and Belvedere College, while TU Dublin Grangegorman is readily accessible to the north. Dublin Bus services run frequently along Dorset Street and nearby Constitution Hill, and the Luas Green Line is available from Broadstone and Dominick stops. The area has practical everyday shopping, cafés, takeaways and restaurants, with traditional pubs and nightlife concentrated around Dorset Street, Parnell Street and Capel Street. Green space is more limited immediately around the street, but the Royal Canal, Blessington Street Basin and the Phoenix Park are accessible for walking and recreation. Local landmarks and amenities include the Mater Hospital, the Gate Theatre, the Hugh Lane Gallery and the historic markets and civic buildings around Parnell Square.
