24 hour shops etc. in Dublin

newgrange

Having found myself dithering at 4am today and needing a 24 hour shop, I went online thinking it would be a simple thing to find out, but no, nothing in Ireland is simple.

So...I am going to put up a page myself listing 24 hour places in Dublin - shops, petrol stations, pharmacies (if any), eateries etc..

If anyone knows of any, can they post them here and I will hopefully get a page up tomorrow.

A few Tesco branches are not 24 hour during the week. Clare Hall, Blanchardstown, ClearWater (I think). The 24 hour opening is only during the week: 8am Monday until 10pm Saturday, AFAIK. Check their site for more details.
Some branches of Dunnes and Superquinn may have followed suit.

I think some arcade places are open 24 hours - in Coolock (beside UCI cinemas) and one in Blanch Centre, beside library.

Tesco in Ballybrack is 24h.

Hey newgrange, great page, but just to clarify the Tesco thing...

Yes, the Tesco supermarkets are fine, but specifically, the Tesco filling stations in Clearwater and Clare Hall are not part of the supermarket and have their own little shops, which are available 24/7.

newgrange

Thanks DMC, I'll correct that now.

wishful thinking eh :mad: thanks though

newgrange

Thanks to all who contributed.
Google are now showing results for '24 hour Dublin' which might have been useful (for me) the other morning. I have mailed a few Head Offices and hope to add any info they send later.
I forgot Internet Cafés, so will add a section for them later too.

a number of the "griffin" centra stores based around o connell street and o connell bridge are 24 hour iirc

Statoil Rochestown Ave
Texaco Rochestown Ave
Esso N11 southbound after Cabinteely

There is a Pharmacy in Dunlaoghaire shopping centre I don't know if it's 24hrs
but it always seems to be open when I pass it late at night.

that's handy thanks!! that's something I was wondering the other day.. in Cork there are a few that are open late.. but not 24hr.. never know when u need something

newgrange

I'll be out in Dun Laoghaire later today and I'll ask them. I suppose a list of latenight pharmacies would do if there are none that are 24 hour.

I've contacted a number of the convenience store companies for a definitive list of their 24 hour shops, but you know, this is Ireland, and it's that new-fangled email thing and often no-one bothers checking it, let alone replying.

Ah, nobody said it was the e-hub of Ireland.

there's a petrol station with a Super-Q (mini-superquinn) between st. vincents and booterstown (just next to the dart crossing right by the sea) which is touting (or at least used to) itself as 24 hour. is that nay good to you? think it might be the rock road by then, but not sure.

newgrange

Thanks a lot. I will find out from them if they are.

The Unicare pharmacy in Dun Laoghaire Shopping centre mentioned above is open 9 to 9 Monday to Friday, and 9 to 7 on Saturday.

They told me that to their knowledge there is no 24 hour pharmacy in Dublin, so I will put late-night pharmacies on the page when I redo it at the weekend.

Tesco on Prussia St. (off North circular rd) is open 24hrs

The new Esso Station on Strand Road in Sandymount is advertising itself as a 24 hour Off Licence, though I haven't been anywhere near it, late enough to vouch for it..

Probably "24 hour" "Off Licence"

Esso/911 on grange road in Rathfarnham is 24 hours (or so they say)
Statoil on Taylor's Lane is 24 too, afaik...

Around the centre of town, there are loads of 24 hour centras/spars. The spars in particular keep popping up everywhere. Also, there's that shop on grafton street thats always open when you're going up there at about 4 in the morning...

Was Googling for 24hr places in Dublin and every result that comes back is way out of date. So thought it's time to update this thread as it's been approx. 5 years since the original post and lots of the places listed have changed.

Does anyone have any new places to add?

P.S. Wasn't sure whether to start a new post or bump this one. I went with the latter obviously.

gurramok

To add, the petrol station on Ringssen Rd is supposed to be 24hr as well. Along with the petrol stations on the Finglas Rd, thats 3 if you're ever hungry
