Nice place, toilets are inconveniently on the top floor which you have to pay for, make sure you've got change! Nice mix of shops recently done up their food hall which is much nicer New public toilets out the front which may be easier and more accessible! Always nicely decorated at christmas time! There is a great view from the top floor at the escalators which is quite well known and shot often read more

If you're wandering around Grafton Street, as tourists often find themselves doing in Dublin, you're bound to run into Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. Its most-unique greenhouse architecture allows so much natural light to come through the glass roof. I absolutely loved the look of it. We took a stroll through all three floors. Having never been to the country, I was unfamiliar with most of the shops, but I took note of the few I recognized (Boots, TK Maxx, Claire's.) We were momentarily tempted to try the Chinese restaurant upstairs but thought better of it. Restrooms are also located on the uppermost level. Not super bustling, seemed to be going the way of most malls. And although I wasn't taken by any store in particular, I enjoyed the structure's design & seeing what a Dublin shopping centre has to offer. read more

It was alright. It is pretty impressive inside as a building but any place that charges for using the public toilets loses my vote straight away. Bodily functions aren't take or leave it. Would they charge women to breast feed for instance. There's a rubber duck shop with a huge selection of ducks that made me smile and a very tiny Japanese bakery selling very small pastries for quite large sums of money. The anchor store appears to be Dunnes but I didn't venture in. The top floor has the pay restrooms an art shop and an alleged foodhall with one eating place - a buffet Chinese - I wandered in and the food on display looked cheap and cheerless read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Piccy from inside - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

Once one finishes walking up Grafton Street, the Stephen's Green Shopping Center is just to the right at the "top of the hill". It's 3 levels and and not a lot to write home about in terms of what I shop for. OK, I picked up few things at Boots and thought that the "greenhouse" architecture was interesting. read more

I found this to be a perfect spot to sit and munch & shop. Especially if you have kiddos and ya'll need a restroom break & again, sit & eat. It is super bright with all the natural sunlight coming in on this day. It looks like an old iron train station. I loved it. We walked in to TK Maxx. It looks deceivingly small from the outside. TK is huge inside. read more

Have come here many times with mates. A very good place to shop for many stores whether it be food or recreation. A food court is located on the first floor which offers many different dining options and seating! read more

4-12-23. 3 story building with shops. The 1st floor had a little food court. Lots of little stores to check in. For example there is a version of TJ Max in here. Enjoy. read more

Beautiful shopping mall. In walking distance from our hotel. Initially, my husand and i came here to find a stroller for our toddler, since we didn't bring ours. Found a shop called Argos, i belive. Super easy to use, just pay and pick up right there . Love it! read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

If you're in the Grafton Street/St. Stephen's Green area, it's worth your while to pay a visit to the Stephen's Green Shopping Center. The main atrium is impressive and attractive. The mall itself offers the usual assortment of stores, so if you're visiting Dublin and need something, this can be your one-stop shopping trip, with a Booth's Pharmacy, Dunnes department store and food hall (which in the US we'd call a grocery store) and plenty of specialty shops. read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Stephen's Green Shopping Center decked out for the holidays. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

Pretty weird bathroom experience here the other day. Normally you pay to get in, something like 20c, but I had no cash on me so the security person let me in for free. Very nice Fairly clean toilet bowl and some mild graffiti on the wall, a lovely bit of reading for in-stall entertainment. Much appreciated. Upon flushing is where I encountered my greatest problem. There was no lever to flush but rather a button that had a small label saying to hold the button for 5 seconds to flush. This disgusted me as everyone else's pee hands would have been all over that thing and it's blatantly telling me to break the 5 second rule so all the germs from everyone else's pee hands could get on my hands. This seriously needs to be sorted out. read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - What the heck is this about? - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

With its ornate white detail and raised greenhouse frame, I really thought this was a refurbished building from the 19th century, an Irish landmark of historical importance. Imagine my surprise to find out it opened only in 1988 taking over a car park surrounded by punk stalls where U2 played during their salad days. Now it's a tri-level shopping center with inconveniently located escalators and random stores that frankly didn't hold that much appeal to me. The only stores that could be considered flagships are Dunnes, presumably Ireland's answer to Target, and T.K. Maxx, the European version of T.J. Maxx. Otherwise, it's a series of shops that feature goth clothing, novelty items, and a whole lotta shoes. It just strikes me as a waste of prime real estate since it holds such a central location off the main commercial corridor of Grafton Street. It's also right across the road from its popular namesake park. I was in there looking for something to eat for lunch and only found a food court that was quite similar to any that I've seen stateside in a suburban mall including a very unappetizing Chinese fast food counter. Once I got out of there, I ended up dining at Harry's on the Green on the outside of the shopping center. It turned out to be its saving grace. read more

As shopping centers go this is one of the best in Dublin. It's big and airy with lots of natural light, I'd even go so far as to say it's quite a nice building in itself. And the FM104 booth is a great way to remember why some of our favorite radio presenters haven't made the crossover to television(ah ha ha ha! BURN, swish, high fives all round). The Kylemore on the first floor is good for a quick bite between friends of different tastes. And there's an asian buffet upstairs for the really hungry. The top floor houses a nice gallery. Lots of famous caricatures mixed and mashed in with 'real' art-the way it should be, I don't believe in Gallery's. Oh yeah, there's a load of shops tacked on too. read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre looks an awful lot older than it is: the big steel and glass structure is like a shabby version of Crystal Palace, and yet is only about twenty years old. The shopping centre probably has best location in town, situated as it on St Stephen's Green (funnily enough) and at the top of Grafton St. Shops-wise, the big Dunnes Stores is probably, as they say in the retail industry, the 'anchor unit', but there are plenty of other big shops, too. There's a Tk Maxx, a big Boots and an Argos, the only one in that part of town, if my memory serves me correctly. There's also lots of boutique clothes shops (though passing the shopping centre recently, a number of these seem to be in the process of closing down), and also some stange but endearing shops, such as The Hat Shop (it does exactly what it says on the tin). Stephen's Green is a good shopping centre as such things go, but there is one thing about it that really annoys me. There is an escalator up to the first floor right inside the entrance, but if you want to get back down again, you have walk half way along the building to find one. A bit enervating. There's a few handy shops in Stephen's Green, and I guess that the building is nice and bright and airy, but there isn't exactly anything unmissable there, so if you're visiting Dublin and you don't get to see it, don't worry too much about it, it's not the end of the world. read more

Well it's not the best shopping centre in Dublin by a long shot but it really is a Dublin institution and is instantly recognisable. I think a lot of Dublin people take it from granted and never really look at the building itself. Like a big conservatory or cruise shop parked at the top of Grafton street it has a sort of old world beauty about it. The food court has undergone a big refurbishment and kylemore has been replaced with burritos, Eddie rockets, Asian food and a traditional hot food and sandwich bar all with free wifi read more

I like Stephen's Green Shopping Centre because, unlike a many airless, artificially lit shopping centres, it spoils shoppers with natural light, from the actual sun! Although as Cathal says, it now looks a little the worse for wear, to me the glass exterior seems strangely creative in a city full of generic grey square shopping centres. Stephen's Green isn't the trendiest or most modern shopping centre in Dublin. It isn't home to many upmarket boutiques but it is pleasant to walk around in and it has a certain charm (perhaps this is related to the ever-enticing pick'n'mix counter or the eternal smell of warm croissants!). It houses many stores for 'practical shopping' such as Holland and Barrett, Boots, Sony Centre, The Laptop Shop and Dunne's, a number of fashion outlets, the largest being TK Maxx, and some specialist shops for perfume, greeting cards and hats. read more

It's not the best shopping centre in Dublin, but it's the one I've probably been to the most due to the location. It's the closest SC to where I work and can make it into a good few shops on my lunch break, if I really fly around. The architecture is a highlight. I guess I'm kinda used to it now, but still the big clock catches my attention every now and then. Some shops inside are not the cheapest places: Boots, Benetton, Argos. But there are some value places: TK Maxx, Dunnes. There's also a sizeable foodhall, which has been revamped recently. I've only been to the burrito bar and that was only ok. Toilets are 20 cent to use, but if you have a receipt from the foodhall, that gets you in for free. Or at least it use too. read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

THE place to meet people in town...you always see at least 20 slightly harassed-looking patrons peering anxiously into your face as you walk by, before compulsively checking their phone for the umpteenth time, just to be sure that it was the shopping centre and not the green itself (and let's face it, who hasn't made that mistake?!) that was the rendez-vous point. It's one of those 'landmark' buildings that everyone knows, tourist or local, and it does have some fairly cool shops...the fact that Dublin now has a Qicksilver shop is one of the best new additions, though there's still the old favourites as well. Home to a myriad of tacky, yet sublimely cheap, girl's clothing shops, it's got pretty much everything you could ask for...homeware, tattoos, groceries, clothes, books...more all embracing than many other shopping centres and better located too. read more

Not a bad shopping center. You have a lot of places to choose from. Dunnes, TK Max, bags, shoes , clothes & a few snack places. I really like the donegal Irish shop on the top level. I usually get Irish gifts here. But not one bench to rest on the bottom level. Get a clue from other metropolitan cities and give us a people watching spot. read more

I really wish I could give St Stephen's Green a better rating than this but I don't feel I can! Despite the abundance of shops it just feels like there's nothing there! Most of the shops are budget brands (Dunnes/TK Maxx etc) with just one or 2 boutiques and a handful of Irish souvenir shops. Not great really! However the food court is excellent, the location is excellent, the building itself is beautiful and there are plenty of shops in the area around the centre to keep you entertained. Also note that you must pay 20c to use their bathrooms which in my opinion is an absolute joke! read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Center is a traditional indoor mall, which is something not typically found in European cities like Dublin. It is huge structure with a big domed glass top, letting in a lot of natural light and making it seem really airy. It has lots of the stores and services one might need all jammed into one location. From Boots to Dunnes to Peter Mark salons (there are several!) to Argos, to drycleaners, to art dealers, this place has just about everything you could need. You could probably live inside here forever, actually. What with the bedding displays and food vendors, you'd never need to leave. You could consider yourself a high-class mole person. I mean mall person. Anyway. Overall not a wholly unpleasant shopping experience, but definitely not unique. read more

I came here twice on my visit to Dublin. It is a very nice shopping center. Right in the middle of Downtown Dublin. There is quite a bit to see here. Even a TK Maxx, which for my Americans friends is very much like TJ MAxx, even the same lettering. There is a food court on the top floor and a few on the ground floor. It is a beautiful place, decorated very nicely. Almost looking like a New Orleans type building to me. Many cool shops to choose from. even a few I shopped in. There is also a Boots which is the Bees Knees in the UK. It is more of an indoor mall, which is a nice thing rather than going from shop to shop, when it is cold and windy. Or even raining. The only thing that was not the coolest is you have to pay to use the toilets here. It is a small amount of money, but if you had a lot of children with you it would kind a be a pain. But, they probably have to do that to keep all the homeless and drunks out I guess. Of course that is the way in a lot of the UK countries. Pay Toilets ,I remember it from when I was a child as well. If that is my only complaint, not bad right. Of course one more thing ,parking can be more than difficult. Just better to walk down here. read more

When I first moved to Dublin as a naive young Cork girl looking for adventure in the big city, I was pretty snobby about this shopping centre. It smelled a bit weird and the place was ancient and outdated, with no shops of real interest to my high-street oriented fashion sense. I have to say though, as the years went on and particular in the last two years of actually working in the city, I've really grown to love this place. It's still old and outdated, but there's a real charm and lightness to the interior, the old fashioned kiosks layout and the huge iconic clock at its centre. The shops may or may not have improved over the years, but I've definitely become more inclined to climb the stairs and actually explore all the strange and interesting little boutiques and shops. There's also a significant food-court area of the centre on the third floor that I was totally unaware of until recently. I haven't eaten there but where the seating is, there's a great view over the end of grafton street and the hustle and bustle of one of Dublin's most iconic areas. In falling in love with Dublin, I just learned to love Stephen's Green, the auld flower that she is. read more

Stephen's Green Shopping Centre - On a good day, it's a beautiful place to stand. - Shopping Centers Near Me - Dublin, D

Stephen's Green. Arguably the most beautiful building in Dublin. Like stepping into a giant conservatory, if you HAVE to go shopping on a sunny day, at least you can feel like you're outside! The only downside with the layout is the practicality of it all. It is quite higgledepiggledee (Yes that is how you spell it!). Not a place for a power shop. Then again, despite housing over 100 outlets (including Dunnes, TK Maxx, and Boots), there's something not quite 'there' about the shopping selection. There seems to be only the option of chain shops, or low-budget crappy-quality kinda places. Of course there are exceptions, but generally speaking, an overhaul of stores here would probably do this place the world of good. (Obviously Wrestling Mania would still make the cut - the only place in Ireland devoted to wrestling, UFC, WWF, and all the rest of those particular brands. Random or wha!) Either way, if you fancy a leisurely Sunday stroll, away from the elements, the Green is an alright place to start. Be careful if you're parking your car here though. It's an extremely narrow car park, with lots of opportunity for scrapage (yes, personal experience, there, I said it!) Also - it's extremely expensive, nearly 4 euro an hour. If you're going to be there for the day, I would advise logging on to Qpark and you can get 24 hours for €15, or €5 overnight. If you're paying per hour, make sure you take note of the 'or part thereof' bit in the pricing! I parked here the other day for an hour and five minutes and paid about 7 yoyos for the privilege! read more

A bunch of lower tier shops. The food center isn't too bad. 20c to use the toilets located on the third floor. This shopping center could easily be skipped and you won't miss anything. read more

The place is really nice and worth visiting, but this is definitely not a place I like to go shopping. The only reason why I go there is the piercing shop on the last floor. The other shops are pretty poor quality and budget brands... It's really too bad since the place is beautiful and the location is great, I'm really disappointed they don't have actual cool shops, even chains would have been better that the shops they have there. I have never tried the food court there but it seems like most of the things on the last floor are closed, and the last floor is pretty much of a no mans land anyway. read more

This place gets me every time for the amazing building it is... Inside the ceiling is so grand and impressive, I love to stroll through this shopping centre though, let's get down to business! The shops within, well personally there's not a lot in this place that appeals to me... There's been a big facelift done with the Dunnes Stores in here and where I visit most, Carousel which is a lovely vintage style ladies clothing store. Car park here is confusing to no end, I dread parking here and it's really a last resort! Toilets, they have a charge to use them... An attendant manages and no matter how hard off you are, you're not getting in without paying. For me, a shopping centre should not be allowed charge, it's such a ridiculous unnecessary and inconvenient experience for customers read more

i always feel tired looking around this shopping center as it is so big and has so many floors so i usually just head to Dunnes. the shops seem to change a lot and i keep meaning to dedicate a couple of hours to wandering around the center but i always run out of energy they have a fish ped place for your tired feet. i think it's about €12 per go but i haven't tried it yet. i don't really like the kylemore cafe on the first floor, i think the food is so bland and lacking in imagination but maybe they have changed since i was there last. there are a couple of quirky shops on the first floor too and if you like paintings they have a corridor full of paintings for sale on the third floor close to the carpark lifts. they can be expensive tho. read more

I think this is actually such a waste of a shopping centre. Grafton Street/Stephen's Green area of Dublin is really lacking a proper shopping centre with known brands and store names. La Croissanterie is still there too? WTF? This just reminds me of my early teens in the mid 90's thinking I was so cool having a ham and cheese croissant in Stephen's Green. Low points..... Paying to pee in the ultra violet junkie proof toilets. Lack of well known stores/brands [although this has slightly improved in recent years] but still for the size of this place it really is immersed in awful random stores. Trying to get downstairs - it's not easy sometimes. High points...... Tribe TK Maxx [although I do despise the TK Maxx experience it is good for bargains on branded clothing] Lack of horrible little skanger teens and tweens who saturate Jervis and the ILAC centre. I'm no snob, I'm from Stoneybatter. I just really don't want to be surrounded by skanger kids when I'm trying to enjoy myself and shop. If I wanted that experience I would go to Meath Street. read more

The mall is not large but the building, especially the ceiling is quite beautiful-worth going inside even if you aren't shopping. There is a department store-Dunnes, that is not too large but has a variety. There is an Irish souvenir store with t-shirts, sweaters and a a variety of souvenirs. There is a hat shop, glasses shop, various clothing shops and some restaurants. If you are in the area, it is worth a stroll through even if you aren't shopping. read more

St Stephens Shopping center is set in a magnificent building at the northwest corner of St Stephens green across from the archway. It has an open greenhouse conservation type feel for it and houses Europe's largest indoor clock. On a sunny day, the light cascading into the building is amazing. Aesthetically this place checks all the boxes and is photographed quite a bit both inside and out. Down the downside would probably be the lack of variety of shops. The main shops Dunnes, Boots, TK Maxx, Argos, Mothercare certainly make the shopping center useful, especially with its great location. I find that if I need a good toy store for example, I need to head to Henry street or Dundrum (due to my lack of a car to more far flung locations). One gripe also is the 20 cent charge for the restrooms on the top floor and the lack of a restroom for customers in the larger stores like Dunnes. Couldn't they even allow paying customers the use of restrooms for free by displaying a receipt? Overall, this place still warrants four stars and is a place which I am a frequent customer. read more

Stephen's Green is a class shopping centre, or 'mall' as they say in the states. It's got three floors with pretty much everything. Around Christmas time they do the place up proper and it always makes it feel so much more like Christmas when you come here during the holidays. read more

I've come here a million times since moving to Dublin since it's really convenient, has a good variety of shops (and is just next to my college!). You can get most stuff in here; There is a Gamestop, Easons, Dunnes, a card shop, TK Maxx, Ticket Master, Petermark hair salon, Bushra's Beauty salon, Claires, Boots, Argos, costume shops, and a few clothes shops and cafes. The Dunnes here is one of the biggest Dunnes with a good variety, but the Easons is tiny compared to the one on O'Connell (it used to be Hughs & Hughs here). Julian which sells evening gowns/debs dresses is also on the second floor. There's also a few unusual (and very expensive) shops on the very top floor, like Asha which sells punk clothes, a Japanese store selling Japanese crafts (very very pricy by the way), craft and art shops, a repair shop and a tattoo parlour. There is also an Acupuncture place which I went in one and was practically attacked my the staff their trying to get my to fork out almost 800 euro for some silly acupuncture course (which I didn't buy of course); once you go in, they won't let you leave. Bad part= toilets. Who pays to go to the toilet?!? pure ridiculous!! Overall, although the shopping centre itself is quite small, you can get most stuff here, and it covers the kind of 'essentials' like Dunnes, Boots and Argos. But the toilet charge makes me more likely to go to Jervis instead. read more

Not a bad shopping centre, 20c to use the loo's though which is a bit harsh. There's a few food places but never tried them. Lots of clothing stores, I have probably brought more in here than anywhere else in Dublin. Lots of escalators and lifts, lots of space to walk around with and best of all free WI-FI. Worth a look if its raining! read more

I like the St. Stephen's Green SC mostly due to it's great interior, and all the small independent galleries, shops and tattoo studios on the top floor. The bigger high street-chain-shops on the levels below are a bit limited when it comes to size and assortment, mostly due to the age and setting of the building. Nevertheless, it gets cramped on the weekends. read more

Ok shopping centre except for a few important things: Firstly, the staff who work in the food court are exceptionally rude and coarse. I saw a MANAGER shouting at an elderly gentleman to get out because the sandwich he was eating was from a shop on the lower floor, not the floor he was on. Totally disgraceful. Also, you have to pay to go to the bathroom. Baxter and Green restaurant goers can enjoy whatever toppings accompany their meal, as I saw a worker there pick up food off the floor and slide it back onto a tray. I was shocked, to be quite honest. read more

Wow. This shopping centre is amazing. The place is awesome, all the best shops. Got to be the best shopping mall I have ever been in by far. And it had a TKMAXX yay:) honestly. This place is giant. 100 thumbs up. If you are a tourist, it has some shops for you too:) read more

While a Dublin landmark, the shopping is sub-par compared to the numerous cute stores in the surrounding area. The shopping inside is mostly fast fashion and you have to pay to use the bathroom. Also, the Irish goods in the stores are the same brands as in the tourist shops but marked up and sold as handmade, not cool. Please go elsewhere unless you are going to the department store. read more

I hang around this shopping centre a lot because I work close by and the Irish weather tends to keep you indoor even on your hour of freedom. So I know the place. I pretty much go to the same shops all the time. I have my habits in Dunnes, TkMaxx, Tiger, Boots, Easons. There are also smaller shops, I only avoid them because the staff tries to talk to me and I can't deal with human interaction. I like the place. The structure is beautiful, even after so many years roaming aimlessly between the shops. The only really bad point would be the mobile and internet coverage. What is going on there? I don't want contact with physical people but I do want to read reviews before buying make up or text my husband about what he'd like for dinner. read more

I would come in here even if I wasn't shopping! It's absolutely beautiful- especially when decorated for the holidays! I'd generally come here for the Dunne's, the Tiger, or the TK Maxx. There are many other shops but they're all a bit miscellaneous. They do have an Eddie Rocket's and an Insomnia, which I appreciate. I find it a bit annoying that there is a charge to use the bathrooms upstairs. Apart from that, I'll keep coming here! read more
