Rathfarnham Shopping Centre

The first floor looks more like a storage floor from the ouside. But do not be fooled, there are some cool shops upstair too (hair dressers, barber, school supply centre, clinic, book store, opticians, interior/​exterior designer, restaurant, music shop, gift shop, travel agency, chapel, swiss deli).
There’s no lift or moving stairs, so for mums with buggies or wheelchair bound people this shopping centre isn’t very friendly.
The ground floor is ok, you’ll find a few clothes shops there, shoe shop, butchers, bank (s), news agent, sports shop, shoe repair/​key smith, jewellery, hardware/​gardening shop, big grocery store. And a public toilet, for which you’ll pay 20¢…
Parking space is available but it is a disaster, especially during the festive seasons when this place runs out of parking space quickly.
If you’re not driving a car, you can use buses No 15, 15B, 65(B) and 49. All of their stops are in a convenient walking distance from the shopping centre.
All and all, it’s a good place for common day-​to-​day shopping. Not so good for those unable to walk up the stairs or with buggies. Prices vary depending on the shop you visit. Car park is free for four hours, monitored by a hired car park management company.

Rathfarnham shopping centre is a smaller shopping centre than Nutgrove, which is only down the road. But it is really handy and great for the local people as it really does have everything you could need on a day to day basis.
It has men and women’s and children’s dedicated shops like Penney’s. Ashley Reeves and Kids Zone. It has a hairdressers in the form of Peter Marks, book store, bank, building society, key cutters, shoe repair, chapel, deli, health food store and a really big and good Tesco’s.
There is lots and lots of parking spaces and a recycle bank including a bin recycling clothes.
