Rooms to Rent in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7

Stoneybatter is an inner city neighbourhood on the Northside, between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield and Grangegorman, in Dublin 7. Its name comes from Bóthar na gCloch, the road of the stones, which was once the main road into Dublin from the west and northwest. Its streets of red-brick artisan houses carry Viking names such as Viking Road, Olaf Road, Sitric Road and Ivar Street, and Manor Street runs through the north of the area.

In 2019 Time Out ranked Stoneybatter 40th in its list of the world's 50 coolest neighbourhoods, and it is often described as Dublin's hipster quarter, with independent cafés, bakeries, restaurants and traditional pubs side by side. Smithfield, with the Old Jameson Distillery and the Cobblestone, a pub known for traditional music, is just to the south, and the 707-hectare Phoenix Park, Ireland's largest urban park, is a short walk west.

Stoneybatter has no Luas stop of its own, but Smithfield on the Red line and Phibsborough on the Green line are nearby, Heuston station is close by for trains, and several bus routes pass through. Because it is so central, it is popular with people who walk to work in the city centre. Rooms here range from shares in terraced houses to apartments, and they suit anyone who wants neighbourhood character within walking distance of town.
