Inchicore named in Time Out as one of the world's coolest neighbourhoods
Inchicore has been named by 'Time Out' magazine as one of the top 38 coolest neighbourhoods in the world. Why are we not surprised?
Big shout out to Richmond Barracks, Rascals Brewery, Stillgarden Distillery, St Pat's FC, Common Ground, Goldenbridge Cemetery, The Social Botanists, Riggers D8, The Saint, Kari, The Black Lion, and all of those who contribute to making the area a wonderful neighbourhood and place to live!
Here's what they had to say:
"A part of the city that’s come to perfectly represent Dublin’s unique old-school charm mixed with a very modern energy, it wasn’t long ago that Inchicore was just a suburb that you passed through on your way in or out of the city centre. Today, the unexpected trendiness that’s descended on the likes of Smithfield and Stoneybatter has found its way to Inchicore. Magnificent ‘old man’ pubs like Cleary’s and The Glen now rub shoulders with new venues like the Stillwater Gin Distillery and the Gravity Climbing Centre. And it doesn’t hurt that the neighbourhood is a prime base of operations for any visit to the Irish capital, being a short walk away from the Phoenix Park, Kilmainham Jail, Dublin Zoo and the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
The perfect day Taking off from the Hilton Kilmainham, stroll up to Riggers and enjoy some of the best coffee this side of the River Liffey. Cross the road to see what’s on at the Richmond Barracks, a culture centre set up for anything from comic-book festivals to walking tours of nearby historical landmarks. For lunch, tuck into tacos and people-watch from the tables outside Tacos Lupillo, before you head to Richmond Park to watch a game of football played by beloved local teams. Try the spicy pork vindaloo at Kari and cap your night off in The Black Lion, where you can sink a fantastic pint of the world-renowned black stuff (Guinness, obviously).
Plan your trip Check out one of the regular events hosted by Rascals Brewing, from seasonal movie nights and outdoor barbecues to Rocktoberfest."
