Powerscourt Townhouse Centre

Very cool place. The first time, I entered through the plant shop, wondering why everyone was going in that way. Then I discovered this huge ‘mall’ with very cool stores — from handcrafted jewelry to second-hand shops, and even one of the best pizzerias in Dublin. I loved it and it’s definitely worth a visit!

I really enjoyed looking around at the shops here. The interior was so beautiful in the shops were very cute in Irish. Beautiful flowers to greet you when you come up the stairs. Another reviewer mentioned that there is an accessible side entrance with a lift. Very well-maintained building and an assortment of cafés and niche storesas well as a cute antique store.

I don’t think many people have visited this place here but it was too elegant and gave exquisite vibes. The interiors and all setup was just stunning, not a tourist spot but a good roam around here will get you stunned at it beauty🩵🩷

A great place to find unique vintage items, antique or custom wedding rings, yarn or just enjoy a good meal in this wonderful space. Enter through the flower shop!

Pretty amazing and closed shopping area with a very unique old-timey feel. Beautiful, higher end shops and lots of good eatery choices too.

Great place, my Company's Christmas party happened here. Place is huge with big hallway for Dance floor. Had a DJ and awesome pizza and food. Overall great place if you need it for party totally recommend it. Also, people are awesome, I lost my Wallet and helpers managed to find it and give it. Thanks guys, much appreciated

I went to diamond factory here but they have an amazing selection of antique jewelry shops and wedding dresses. I love the many options for food here but it's a bit busy. Nice for exploring. The atmosphere is quite airy and warm. Perfect to escape from the rain.

I went there for lunch, I eat in the restaurant overlooking the ground floor, the restaurant is named the Pepper-Pot, I had a sausage sandwich with a pot of tea for one. Now I must say that the sandwich is a must, firstly because the relish is mouth watering, the bread is hand cut-thick slices, white and very fresh with greens included in the sandwich. The cups and saucers are old type china and are mixed which I think is very elegant, the teapot was also very quaint which made the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable.

The Powercourts Townhouse Centre intrigued me. Initially it appears to be a flower shop. It unfolds into much more as you explore further. The Irish food tour was the meeting point and it was advertised here and I had a positive experience there. The nature theme definitely adds value.

Fabulous architectural conversion of a rundown townhouse into a shopping center that now has a lovely mix of local designers and artistic jewelry shops. Plus there are a couple of places to eat too! I discovered it just wandering around the Temple Bar area of Dublin and had a throughly good time checking out all the cute and quirky stores. One thing that was quite serendipitous- I was in town the weekend of St Patrick's Day parade and they had tons of events going on. There was a lovely local mixed gender choir singing Irish songs that afternoon I was there, and there finale piece was this brilliant song called "Brewing up a storm" by the Stunning. I had never heard of the song or the band, but it was just wonderful music! Glad discovered it thanks to this shopping center. Come and check out if you are in town and have a few hours to spare. They also have nice clean loos! Yelp 100/ 2019

Originally an 18th-century Georgian mansion for the Earl of Powerscourt. It became a run down dump. In the 1980's It was restored to it's beautiful elegance. The glass ceiling lets in quite a bit of light. The cafés are a lovely place to eat and relax. The antique and jewelry stores are quite exquisite. No shortage of lovely shopping. Please stop in and join me in leave a few euros behind.

Cute shopping centre tucked away... Almost like a hidden gem! I absolutely love this place, it's got air and grace about it, packed with boutiques (mostly high end) as well as a few bridal shops, eateries and well let's give a mention to the florist that takes pride and place just inside the South William Street entrance. This place will always turn on a great seasonal display, as we can see this Christmas :-) My fave shop is up on 3rd floor, the Loft!

Being a Corkman, I do long for when I would venture up to the city for some spirited xmas shopping (on xmas eve, of course!! Why make things easy for yourself!), grabbing a coffee in the English Market and taking in the atmosphere outside the Opera House and on the Grand Parade. Happy days. The capital does have its charms though. Yeah the live music on Henry st. has it's charms, probably!! And yeah, a walk under the lights of Grafton St. on a December weekend is kind of all right, I guess....Actually, one thing that really does give the English Market a run for its money for me would be the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre. Probably seems childish, but entering an old fashioned mall with a high roof and a big shiny Christmas tree and loads of glass windows and fancy antique shops where everything just sparkles and glitters...it does evoke memories of when I was in short trousers being dragged to the Blarney Woolen Mills to see Santa, and running around the mall playing hide and seek with random kids. If i were a kid growing up here, I'd be begging them to take me to Powerscourt just to take in the sparkliness and run up and down the stairs like an idiot! From an adults perspective, It's one of the places where it's decor for xmas doesn't feel overly corporate, but feels genuinely charming. Of course, their aim is to get you to buy stuff, but in the case of Powerscourt, I'm happy to part with my money. #DublinShopsLocal

Gorgeous little gem, tucked away in the city center! Beautiful from the outside and you'd never guess it'd be even more gorgeous on the inside. An enclosed little courtyard with beautiful brick facades that couldn't be more charming if it tried! A lovely little paradise to escape to, great to just window shop, enjoy a drink; love the indoor/outdoor feel, it's equally cozy on a sunny or rainy day. I love to stop by just to browse, but in terms of shopping I really only come here for the yarn at This Is Knit. My second fav. shop is Article, full of gorgeous contemporary designer home decor and cute gifts with a Scandinavian feel. Generally the shops are definitely on the higher end in price range, but you can find pretty much anything here, jewelry, clothes, flowers. It's always busy but that doesn't ruin the atmosphere. There's really nothing to compare it to, it's such a unique space that I just never get tired of. This is a place I'd take anyone visiting Dublin, it has such a great atmosphere that you just can't beat. I can't wait to see this place during the holidays!

It's probably my favourite shopping center in Dublin. Small and gorgeous on the inside with lots of antique shops, some galleries and an assortment of other shops. The cafe in the center is a nice location to sit and admire the Georgian architecture and the gorgeous building. Been here many times to look at the antiques watches and jewelry and also to get an antique watch repaired. Been to the cafe a few times for a coffee and just chilling out on a weekend afternoon.

Powerscourt is a pretty unique shopping centre. It is a huge, gorgeous building that if you stand back and take a look at, you realise that it's perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing shopping centre in Dublin. The shops cater mostly to the upper-class female: jewelers, fashion boutiques etc. plus plenty trendy cafes and lunch spots. It may not span the spectrum of shops, but is certainly worth a visit if you're tired of inner city malls like the Ilac centre that have little or no character.

The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre really is a beautiful building, and a landmark in Dublin's City Centre. If you hadn't heard about it or didn't know where to look, it's easily missed - even though it's smack bang in the middle of the city centre. It's basically on the street parallel to Grafton ST - Clarendon St - and the easiest way to find it is to cut across the little lane that links the two street, which is located about halfway up Grafton St. With over 40 places to eat and shop, it's hard to get bored. They've everything from kids books, to high fashion, vegetarian restaurants to menswear, antique jewellery and much more. Well worth a visit.

A beautiful modern shopping centre is hiding in this stunning eighteenth century town house with magnificent walls and ceilings and fittings! The new shopping centre and the old town house blend beautifully together to create a really delightful shopping experience. Have lunch in one of the four restaurants and listen to the pianist play classical music. Browse the upstairs gallery and purchase some wonderful Irish art or just shop till you drop in one of over forty shops. The brow bar is a fab brow specialist beauty salon here.

There's something about this place. Grandeur. Opulence. Vibrance. Irishness. I can't think of anywhere in Dublin in which these four descriptives are married so well together (Yes, 'Irishness' is a word!!) A distinctive example of Dublin's Georgian architecture, the once privately owned 18th century mansion has been converted in the most exquisite way into a paradise for browsers, people watchers, eaters, drinkers, and yep, shoppers. With 42 ways to spend your time here, from boutiques to cafes, there can be no doubt that the architecture of Powerscourt is the essence of the atmosphere that hits you when you step inside this beautiful building. The second thing to hit you is likely to be the aroma of coffee coming from Pygmalion Cafe on the ground floor. What a delicious place to kick back and people watch. Under the same roof, there is also Lost Society Lounge (lots of cracking Irish DJs and musicians in here most nights of the week), Pygmalion Bar (famed for it's Sunday sessions), The Pepper Pot (delicious organic fare), and Terrazzo Italia (if you're looking for something more posh to satisfy those delectable taste buds) Shopping-wise, this place is generally more on the mid to high price range, depending on what you're after. With anything from Bonsai trees, to Bridal dresses, antiques and jewellery to handmade beauty supplies and salons, heck there's even a doll's hospital and museum to keep the young 'uns shtum! The Centre also run guided tours for those who really want to soak up the history of the 350-odd year old mansion. The 'Grand Tour' takes place on Thursdays and Saturdays at 2pm and 4pm for €8 a pop. All in all, Powerscourt Shopping Centre is a place to be proud of, to bring visitors to, to wander around on your tod breathing in the magnificence. And of course, somewhere to spend your hard-earned dough supporting Irish owned businesses.

I love this place! It's so beautiful that I can't even explain it! Well there is always the way that I use to describe it to my friends, 'Dublin's version of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II'! :) It's so magnificent and quirky! Plenty of cafés, restaurants, shops and even a garden at the entrance with such a good aroma that just makes me want to buy all their flowers! When it comes to shopping it can be a bit pricey but the shop 'Article' is a must! Everything in there is a must-have. I love the buzz in summer with people sitting in the outside stairs while watching the world go by! But in winter is just as nice as it has a really nice Christmas decoration! This beautiful building is fabulous and a perfect place to go for coffee, a meal or even to listen the pianist playing piano!

I must admit that I've never actually bought anything in the Powerscourt Centre, nor have I actually entered any of the shops, but I have walked through there on a number of occasions as a shortcut to South William St, so, on the basis of this very dodgy premise, I shall now bequeath you with this review, full of generalisation and stereotype. The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre is, as the name suggests, located in a very impresive Georgian townhouse. It was owned by the Powerscourt family, and the buildings current usage is very apt: a house that used to belong to an Anglophile Anglo-Irish family is now operated as a shopping centre catering to southside Dublin's West Brit rugby masses. The shopping centre owners have left the architecture as it was insofar as is possible, which, as I'll be the first to admit, is very admirable. It is not, unfortunately, conducive to an amenable shopping experience,as it can be quite confusing to find the exit (especially when you're just taking a short-cut through the building and have no intention of actually entering the shops and purchasing anything). There's definitely a jewellery shop, a coffee shop in the central concourse, and some sort of women's clothes shop upstairs, and Ba Mizu is attached to the outside. The patrons are exclusively composed of yummy mummies buying overpriced tat to make the neighbours in Glenageary jealous, and schoolboys from Blackrock with gigantic collars trying to get inside the Juicy Coutures of the schoolgirls in the ugg boots. That's it, essentially. Do you need to know anything more about this place. Avoid it like the plague, won't you. Nice to look at from across the road, but no closer.

Wonderful spot at christmas time, the place is covered with lights and has trendy stores, a cool salon and amazing cafes. I go there for a coffee break or gelato and enjoy myself there. #dublinlocalshops

Absolutely love this "shopping centre" even if I can't afford anything in here. It is quaint and magically, the shops are not your average high street style which is what makes this a must. The shops include higher end fashion, Dublin's oldest Dolls Hospital and Museum, in a fantastic location, that would make any girl (whatever their age) want a Dolls house. There is a small theatre (for Irish Dancing with a small museum) but this has some other shows such as a puppet show every christmas....a definite must see. You will need a good sense of direction when in here....as you leave one shop you must pass through another....can be confusing but don't let that put you off.

If you are looking for an amazing place to go shoppers in Dublin, Ireland. I highly recommend visiting the Powerscourt Townhouse Center located near Grafton Street. There are two entrances to this amazing shopping center. The entrances are located on Clarendon Street and Williams Street. This shopping center opened officially in 1981. It was previously a house owned by Visecount Powerscourt. The architecture is very unique and definitely everyone should experience when visiting Dublin, Ireland. This is a great place to go shopping, get a cup of coffee or experience a few of the Restaurants. I definitely recommend visiting here to check out the amazing artists and craft stores which are primarily on the the second floor. The shopping center has a wide selection of stores to meet everyone's needs. Powerscourt Townhouse Center is very clean and has very clean restrooms. They also have an elevator in the center also. I State this due not one being here many years ago. Powerscourt Townhouse Center definitely rates ten stars and more! I definitely will be returning to this amazing shopping center on my next visit to Ireland.

Melanie is right to when she claims that the Powerscourt Centre is beautiful. The amount of light that reflects off of the many windows gives the whole place a sparkling polished glow. The shops in here are quite unusual as well. There are a number of artistic boutiques such as the Norman Giles photography gallery and all the jewellery shops (one with the wonderful name Gollum's Precious). I came across a knitting place that sold all kinds of coloured yarns and needles. And if you're looking for antiques, this is a good place to start. The Powerscourt feels like a museum: sometimes I'm scared that I'll break something while walking through the hallways. Prices are expensive but you can get rare one-of-a-kind items.

The Powerscourt Town House is a bright, airy shopping centre built in a Georgian town mansion. The architecture, natural stone interior and abundance of natural light, set it apart from many modern, characterless shopping centres. It's upmarket with a focus on art and fashion. It features bridal shops, antique shops, beauty salons, a number of jewellers and art and photography galleries. It also has a number of women's fashion boutiques but this is not the high-street so don't expect high-street prices (perhaps with the exception of high-end high-street, French Connection!). It is the place to go if you are looking for a specialist gift, an outfit for a really special occasion (like your wedding!), or if you are just that wealthy. Even if you're not interested in any of Powerscourt's wares, go and have a wander around the building, have a coffee, watch the yummy mummies stroll on by and ask yourself what Lord Powerscourt, the building's first owner in the 16th century, would make of all these shoppers in his gaff!

I don't think I can afford much of anything that's sold at the Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, other than the cupcakes. But, I don't care. I love this shopping centre and I love to be in it, browsing, longing and chomping on my cupcake. I love all of the boutiques here, which focus on independent designers. High-end to the max, and extremely beautiful, if you buy anything here you'll love it forever. It will probably even outlast you and give your granddaughters something to gloat to their friends about: My granny was awesome. The only thing I don't like is that the security guards stare at you like you're about to commit heinous crimes.

Only recently become a fan of Powerscourt...it had kinda passed me by up until now unbelievably! Really nice layout....love the coffee place in the middle with huge vaulted ceilings....with a bridal shop next to Pygmalion and then the Loft Market on the top floor, along with an art gallery next door.... Its almost so random that it shouldnt work, but it really does, with a great bohemian feel. Love the varying range of shops, and adore the idea that there is a location for smaller, more artisan start-up businesses to set up. Definitely worth a visit.

I love to wander around Powerscourt on a Saturday and pretend I have a kick-ass job. You would kinda need a kick-ass job to afford to buy anything here, but it doesn't stop me from giving this place four stars. The antiques stores are great. Honestly, I always see hordes of people standing near the shop fronts picking out their "future" wedding rings, or older people discussing a pendant their great aunt used to have, that was just like that one! I truly enjoy just wandering in and out of these stores, and the shop owners don't seem to mind. I genuinely get happy feeling in my gut when I think of this place, and if you enjoy stores with a bit of personality Powerscourt is the place to go. You might not come out with laden down bags, or even any bags, but you'll find you're less tired and flustered than if you went to bigger malls in town. Great for tourists too if you want to get something special for a loved one.

A wonderful little reteat with some quirky little shops and some nice places to eat. The building itself is fascinating as is the history behind it. I never feel like I am in the city center of Dublin when here. The adjoining car park is probably my preferred place to park also.

Super fashionable spot! Powerscourt Townhouse is one of the most wonderful treasures in Dublin city. An old Georgian townhouse converted into a shopping centre, it is home for some yummy restaurants & cafés, and some great one of a kind ladies boutiques. The top floor has a theatre, art galleries and some amazing boutiques... Some selling all Irish designed and made clothes, hats, bags etc. it's a must if you're around Dublin!

The style that walks through this place is probably the best in Dublin. Powerscourt is an odd place to me. You feel like you're in a fancy Georgian house (which you are)...but you're actually in a shopping centre... But you're not going to find any Tesco or Lidl here! Or a grocery shop at all. Much like the Westbury Mall, Powerscourt is home to one-off boutiques and up-scale cafés. Pygmalion café and the attached club are found on the ground floor surrounded by beauticians and clothes shops, while the next floor up is home to some quirky cafés and jewellery shops. There's a florist in the entrance hall and a knitting shop somewhere...I think.... This is probably you're top 'people-watching' spot in this area. The crowds filter in from South William Street on their way to Grafton Street and the ladies who lunch here are who the Avoca mammies wish they were! Of course you get the odd hobo-looking type (meekly raises my hand there...) but Powerscourt is lovely place to spend an afternoon over a coffee. And if you're really lucky, the pianist will be playing!

Powerscourt is a great place to relax in the City. There are lots of great places to eat and shop. A few years ago it went under a major renovation and I've been a fan since. Its great especially fun around Christmas time and there is nothing better than sitting back, listening to music and having a beer while the rest of the city is going mad ;0)

It's becoming more of a hub of unique Irish owned businesses, and is known as the heart of Dublin's Creative Quarter. I still like it most places are a little over priced but Pygmalion, Pyg Restaurant, the pepper pot and lost Society are all places I usually attend. I love the old style to it, and the unusual Georgian bikes that are usually lock outside it.

Like the vibe in here. Lovely shops around and when the sun is shining you can feel the heat through the glass. Ate in the pyg restaurant which is on the ground floor. Had a lovely steak sandwich and the coffee was quite good and had a nice flavour. Definitely a nice place to chill. Lots of bridal shops and jewellery place to have a look at

Its nice in here for a wander around, but I don't think of going into the Powerscourt Townhouse much for some reason. Maybe I subconsciously assume the stuff sold in most of the shops would be out of my price range, but that's not true. The Loft Market has some really lovely and very affordable clothes, jewelry and accessories. Its a brilliant place to buy presents. And a wander down the antique jewelry section I found some very affordable pieces amongst the Cartier. As for the building itself, its fabulous and its great to see it being used so effectively.

Great little shopping area. One of a kind boutiques, chain stores, and department stores as well as people selling things from carts on the street. There's something for everyone here. We walked around for quite a bit, stopped into a few of the shops and enjoyed the live entertainment on the streets. Small groups gathered around a band of 20 something year old guys playing modern Irish music, some young boys dancing and kicking around a soccer ball to music, and an older gentleman playing the violin. There was something new on every corner. I would definitely recommend this shopping centre!

Bit of a hidden gem! From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but venture inside, and you find a maze-like string of halls with stores along them. Low ceilings, and not necessarily terribly well-lit, it has an feel that reminds me a bit of a middle-eastern souk or maybe even what Diagon Alley in Harry Potter must feel like. Continue on, and the centre opens up in my favourite part of this place, the food court. Placed in the old townhouse courtyard, now covered with a glass roof, it has restaurants on the ground floor and along the balconies of the first and second stories. Really, really nice place, light and airy.

All year round this place has a decidedly Christmassy feel.... at Christmas it feels even more so and there is no where quite like it to get you in the festive spirit! Full of expensive shops and restaurants but even if your pocket cant stretch to a purchase then a wander through is an exceptionally pleasant experience.

When I was a young fella, my mother dragged me along to here quite frequently because she adored the place. Having revisited it recently as an adult, I can safely say that it's packed to the rafters with bric-a-brac frivolities for which most of us have little-to-no use. Unless you're looking for old-lady curios, you can give this place a pass.

One of those things that I've walked by in Dublin so many times and thought, "I should go in there sometime." Well, I have now and it's totally the type of place you should go in! It's an old Georgian house that has been converted into a shopping centre now, but not just your regular old shopping centre. There's a nice restaurant situated in the center area that was formerly the garden which is now covered, as well as fine jewelry, barbershops, doll stores and cupcakes around. Also, there is an awesome pub/bar/cafe that has its doors around the corner but can be reached from the inside too that is really intimate at night, but also cool to sit in during the day. The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre is really something unique, and you should definitely pop in for a look even if you're not shopping.

Really unique centre, nice to eat in as they have live music and several cafes.

Cool place to shop. Almost every store is walking distance. Alot of street shows on the weekend

Brought an Aussie girl who's hard to please to this restaurant in the centre of Powerscourt. She loved it. While the setting helps, they provided her with a random juice, which I can't recall now, that was definitely not on the menu. Nice place, don't be turned off by the WAIT TO BE SEATED ('if you're good lookin') sign!

Went here today and popped in to the town house cafe, ordered coffee and my wife orders a scone. As we were sat right in front of the counter my wife was able to see the girl lift up each scone, stick it to her nose to smell what flavour it was, when she sniffed the right one she put it on a plate and it was brought out to the table and was sent right back again, not exactly a bundle of hygiene going on here.

Great spot for a coffee or some food, especially at Christmas with the lights. A bit to hot on sunny days but never too busy which is great

This place is almost hidden away and it took me some time to find it. Once I did though, I must say that it's nice that a place like this exists; half eating place (with many resturants and cafees) and half a shopping centre, with antique stores, jewelry, design stores and clothes shops. A great place to explore and at the same time get something to eat !
