Jervis Centre (Jervis Street, Dublin)

About.com Rating 4

By Bernd Biege, About.com

The Bottom Line
The Jervis Centre is a redeveloped site in the middle of Dublin, preserving some old architecture but looking thoroughly modern on the inside. Most shops are located around a central courtyard, covered with a glass dome. A sizeable foodcourt sits slightly squashed on a mezzanine level, often overlooked by visitors and thus not too overrun most of the time.

Pros
  • Convenient city center location north if the River Liffey.
  • Wide range of shops and outlets, some unique.
  • Foodcourt with ample seating.
  • Provides convenient city-center parking.
  • Celtic Glasgow store draws soccer fans.
Cons
  • Can occasionally get crowded due to proximity of main shopping areas.
  • Access roads to parking slightly complicated for occasonal visitors to Dublin.
Description
  • Redeveloped former hospital site in the heart of Dublin's Northside.
  • Within easy walking distance of O'Connell Street and Abbey Street.
  • Good parking facilities and opportunities for grocery shopping make the Jervis Centre especially attractive.
Guide Review - Jervis Centre (Jervis Street, Dublin)

Location, location, location - this is the Jervis Centre's main selling point. Just south of Henry and Mary Street, near some other malls and department stores, the Jervis is a one-stop-shop with a great location. It also is a god-sent for those using a car, providing hundreds of secure parking spaces (though these are not easily found unless you know your way around Dublin).

As far as shops go the Jervis has a good cross-selection, basic everyday shopping being provided by Tesco and the Marks & Spencer foodhall. The usual high-street shops are in evidence, from Argos to electronics giants Currys. But the Jervis can also provide specialist shopping, from arts and crafts via gadgets to a full shop dedicated to Celtic Glasgow memorabilia and clothing.

Overall a convenient but not overly exciting mall - central location, parking facilities, the foodcourt and (to fans of the "Hoops") the Celtic Glasgow shop being the main points of attraction.
