The lights are up, people are out getting their Christmas trees and the festive feeling is firmly in the air.
The only thing you need to do now is find a Christmas market around the city and you'll have fully embraced Christmas. As always we have done all the hard work for you and found some of the best ones in town.
Grab your wallet, a warm jacket and head to one of these top spots ASAP...
Fusion Sundays – Newmarket Square
A Christmas market with a truly global feel to it. Use this opportunity to taste delicious Christmassy food, buy some handcrafted presents and be inspired by international Christmas vibes.
The biggest one in town with a huge tree, lots to do as well as plenty to eat and drink. Well worth taking an evening off and popping in here with friends or the family to enjoy a couple of drinks as part of the experience.
In the national maritime museum of Ireland there's a whole experience built in, from craft food producers, presents to buy, Santa to meet and even movies to watch.
Rathmines – Old Fire Station
This market is something totally unique and is now entering its fourth year. Held in the fire station, it'll be host to vendors selling art, design, craft, knits, and jewellery.
A great excuse to take the trip out to the seaside and visit not only this market but an entire street full of great shops and places to stop in for a pint.
Botanic Gardens – Glasnevin
For one day only on December 13, this will be a magical spot to shop, bring the kids to see Santa and have hot food and drinks only a couple of weeks before the big day.
Don’t @ us. We’re well aware some may think it is still too early for the mention of the C word, but when it comes to booking the group or couples dinners that populate Christmas week, you need to be organised well in advance. If you’ve got your eye on certain restaurants, waiting any longer […]
We’re in the final countdown. Yes, we have speculated whether this 20 year old trend is slowly dying, perhaps evident by the fact there aren’t more cafés whipping up pumpkin spice and everything nice on this list, but basic as it may be, it’s a celebration of autumn in my eyes, and I can’t help but […]

Dublin is glutted with literary magazines. They’re ten a penny; if today’s penny is actually €15 each. In 2017 Justine Carbery wrote in The Irish Independent “literary journals proved to be constant stars in a fluctuating market. Ireland, with its rich history of independent literary magazines, finds itself in rude health today with many new […]

From refreshing newbs to reliable classics Despite the increasingly adverse trading conditions for service in Dublin, we’ve never had such strong restaurant offerings. Not even at the peak of the Celtic Tiger did we have such a plethora of passionate food creatives doing bits and making waves. So to help you navigate the best of […]
(and Always) It’s never been more vital to support Queer-Owned Spaces in Dublin. Put your money where your morals are as often as you can. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I know that the people who run our bars, restaurants, and cafés shape the atmosphere more than the decor or the playlist ever […]

You’ll also know there’s a specific kind of awkwardness you feel walking into an Irish bar abroad. It’s an itch of embarrassment you […]
