Department Store shopping in Ireland

    Brown Thomas

    This is Dublin's most expensive department store, suitably stocked to cater for the city's more moneyed shoppers. You'll find every top label represented here. The 3rd-floor Bottom Drawer outlet stocks the finest Irish linen you'll find anywhere.

    Penney’s

    Ireland’s cheapest department store is a northside favourite, a place to find all kinds of everything without paying a fortune for it – it’s the best place in town for men’s socks and jocks. True, the stuff here isn’t guaranteed to last, but at prices like these, why quibble over quality? There’s also another branch.

    Arnott's

    Occupying a huge block with entrances on Henry, Liffey and Abbey Sts, this formerly mediocre department store has been completely overhauled and is now probably Dublin's best. It stocks virtually everything you could possibly want to buy, from garden furniture to high fashion, and everything is relatively affordable.

    Marks & Spencer

    Good-quality clothing and virtually everything else that the body and house might need – at affordable prices – make this British chain store one of Dublin’s most popular. There’s a supermarket in the basement and a popular café on the ground floor.

    Roches Stores

    A massive redesign of both the store and its contents have catapulted this formerly frumpy department store to near the top of the cool queue. Its hip status is in no small way due to the presence of Zara, the spectacularly successful Spanish label.

    Dunnes Stores

    A favourite choice with Irish families for its affordable everyday clothing. The Savida fashion range is remarkably on the pulse, though, and has an excellent homewares department. Look for branches across the city.

    Debenham's

    This UK giant hit these shores in 2006; it's bold and glass-fronted on the outside and holds street-smart fashion labels such as Zara, Warehouse and G-Star on the inside, as well as the obligatory homewares and electrical sections.

    Austins

    The world's oldest independent department store (established 1830), Austins is a good place to shop for Irish linen (they can ship your purchases overseas).

    Clery's & Co

    This graceful shop is a Dublin classic. Recently restored to its elegant best, it caters to the more conservative Dublin shopper.
