I lived in Korea for a short period of time in the early 1980s and developed an interest in Korean food. However, I never got around to trying the Korean Table restaurant on Manor Street so I paid a visit today just to check it out … I hope to have a meal there this weekend.
Owner’s statement: “Our restaurant didn’t come out overnight. The Korean Table, which started at a food market in Dublin with the mission of making Irish people feel true Korean food, is now offering you the best Korean food at an inexpensive price at a Stoneybatter, which is a little closer to you.”
Korean Table does not accept reservations in order to provide equal dining opportunities to all guests who visit the restaurant.
What caught my attention was the “D – Peebles’ Buildings” plaque on the was above the restaurant.
Peebles’ Buildings is a complex of two tenement buildings located in Stoneybatter. They were built in the late 19th century by the Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company, a private body that was established to provide affordable housing for working-class people. The buildings are named after Sir Arthur Peebles, who was a philanthropist and a member of the board of the Dublin Artisan Dwellings Company.
Peebles’ Buildings are two of the best-preserved examples of tenement housing in Dublin. They are four stories high and each building contains 32 apartments. The apartments are small and basic, but they were well-designed for the time and they provided a much-needed improvement in living conditions for many working-class families.
Peebles’ Buildings were originally occupied by a mix of Irish and English families. The residents were mainly working-class people, such as labourers, factory workers, and shopkeepers. The buildings were also home to a number of small businesses, such as grocery shops and pubs.
Peebles’ Buildings remained in use as tenement housing until the 1970s. In the 1980s, the buildings were refurbished and converted into social housing.
If you say that the writing is on the wall, you mean that there are clear signs that a situation is going to become very difficult or unpleasant. However, I have decided to be optimistic, how about you?
At its peak in the 1950s the Dublin Cattle Market, located on Prussia Street in Stoneybatter (nicknamed ‘Cowtown’), was the largest weekly livestock sale in Europe.
I though that the Stoneybatter three day festival was due to begin on the 7th but I made a mistake as it is not due to begin until the 17th June 2022.
Apart from the striking artisan dwellings, the area is also known for the prominent Viking street names. For example, there is Viking Road, Olaf Road, Thor Place, Sitric Road, Norseman Place, Ard Ri Road, Malachi Road, Ostman Place, Ivar Street, Sigurd Road and Harold Road. At the time of the Norman invasion, the Vikings, Ostmen or Austmenn (men of the East) as they called themselves, were exiled to the north of the Liffey where they founded the hamlet of Ostmenstown later to become Oxmantown.
In recent years the area has become known as an example of an area undergoing gentrification.

In the 1950s the Dublin Cattle Market Stoneybatter (known locally as ‘Cowtown’), was the largest weekly livestock sale in Europe. Of the one million cattle, sheep and pigs exported ‘on the hoof’ annually from Dublin, almost all were bought at the market before being driven to boats moored along the North Wall. Fortunately those days are long gone and I say this because I actually remember the smell of the cattle.
Stoneybatter, historically known as Bohernaglogh , is a neighbourhood of Dublin, Ireland, on the Northside of the city between the River Liffey, the North Circular Road, Smithfield Market, and Grangegorman. It is in the Dublin 7 postal district. The name dates from at least 1603.
It is often referred to as Dublin’s “hipster quarter” and was in TimeOut magazine’s list of ’40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world’ in 2019. I must admit that I don’t really know what hipster quarter means within an Irish context.
