It's perfect for the indecisive shopper who doesn't like to do too much walking. Sadly, French connection and Firetrap are having closing down sales at the moment, but who knows what exciting brands will take their place?

Anthologie is a cute little boutique clothing store on the main drag at Clontarf. At first glance…read moreAnthologie looks like just the store for groovy 20-somethings, but looks can be deceptive. While it stocks a nice collection of clothing, I tend to find some of the pieces a bit middle-aged and unfashionable. So it would probably be a more suitable shopping destination for ladies rather than girls, or for the refined occasion - think hats and gloves - rather than a night out on the town. The shop itself is nicely set out, with accessories strewn around the store, breaking up the clothing displays and providing temptation for its shoppers. Unlike some of the other women's clothing stores in this precinct, this one is very unpretentious, and doesn't make you feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

I was going to go with Jo M on this and give a 3...but it has definite potential and they were nice…read morewhich brings it up to a 4! It's a really inviting boutique and I like both the decor inside and their window dressing. The shop is small, but has a reasonably good selection-only one size of each item is put on the floor to maximise the space. There is a cute range of accessories and knick-knacks too. The stock is a mixed bag-some of it is pitched at women of a certain age I think. There is definite potential to pick up that unusual special something though and it's surprisingly reasonably priced. A major plus is the welcoming atmosphere. Even though it's small and pretty quiet, the staff member today wasn't even slightly pushy. She was smiley and simply let me know that other sizes were available before letting me browse. This was despite my usual Saturday pottering outfit of runners and backpack. Perfect! I will definitely be back...

My wife bought a pullover at Renaissance in Clontarf just a week ago and wore it once before…read morenoticing how badly it shed tufts of fabric. I tried returning it to the store but they were totally disinterested, being told Renaissance had sold hundreds without a complaint, so tough luck! I was told I could try washing it, but the manager gave no guarantee that this would work. This item is without doubt of an inferior quality, but the manager made no apology, and refused to exchange it or reimburse me. I would advise anyone using this store to be very wary of the poor quality of some garments and the poor after sales service if you have a problem. I do not recommend this store.

This quirky clothes shop sells high fashion expensive items. The clothes are quite different from…read morethe average high street store. There are mostly one in each size of items. They have clothes for casual wear as well as formal outfits, but they would cater more for fancy nights out. They also have a hairdressers in the back of the shop which is quite unusual. The staff are friendly and helpful. The store gives a funky vibe but the expect to pay a bit higher than your average shop. There is parking right outside the door which is great.

The best thing about the this shopping center is not the center itself but the woodies across the…read moreroad. However as this review is about the center i better base my review on it. Dated and drab looking this center seriously needs an overhaul. There is a big Dunnes stores which keep the locals happy, a bit furniture store on the first floor which has been so expensive everytime i go and lots of smaller cheaper looking shops and boutiques. There was a restaurant upstairs with miserable looking staff and even more miserable looking food but i think they have a subway there now and a mcdonalds on site too. if you like that sort of nasty fatty food. But the good thing is that this shopping center aims to have everything, from shoes, to groceries, to diy, to books, to health clinics and so much more. Is the swimming pool still there? I'm not sure but i'd certainly avoid the dodgy looking pub outside. when i've parked in the carpark, i've watched some colourful and unsavoury looking characters hanging the doorway; at 11am.

Located in Coolock, Northside Shopping Centre was described to me by a friend as stepping back into…read more1980's Ireland. The decor is very old, non frivalous, however the shopping centre does have a good Dunnes Stores Department store serving the needs of the local area. It has a large food department, clothes too but unfortunately the home department is very small. Other shops that are in the shopping centre is O2, a few butchers and numerous 2euro shops.
