Stoneybatter

Stoneybatter is an inner-city neighbourhood on Dublin's Northside, between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield Market and Grangegorman, in the D7 postal district. Its name comes from an old road into Dublin from the west and north-west, known in Irish as Bóthar na gCloch, "the road of the stones". The northern end of the main street is called Manor Street, after the Manor of Grangegorman.

Stoneybatter has become known as an example of an area undergoing gentrification and is often described as Dublin's "hipster quarter"; Time Out included it in its list of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2019. Its streets have also been used as a filming location for TV and film. Because it is so central, it is popular with residents who walk to work in the city centre.

• Luas: no Luas stop directly serves Stoneybatter, but Smithfield (Red Line) and Phibsborough (Green Line) are nearby.

• Buses: Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead Ireland routes connect the area with the city centre, Phoenix Park, Cabra, Castleknock, Blanchardstown and other areas. Check the TFI Journey Planner for current routes.
• The city centre is within walking distance.

Stoneybatter is a small neighbourhood close to the city centre, and its popularity and ongoing gentrification affect what homes cost. Rent figures for Stoneybatter alone are not published; its electoral divisions are split between the North Inner City and Cabra–Glasnevin local electoral areas (see the cost note).

Stoneybatter is compact, and bus routes connect it with the Phoenix Park and the western suburbs. The Aughrim Street Scout Group has been part of local community life since 1937.
