This is just a lovely local butcher. Like the ones that used to be round years ago. A friendly sort, David is an amenable chap — great for a chat and some meaty advice. The meat cuts are good(better than Tesco any day of the week, that’s for sure), and not bad value. There are shelves of your essential grocery items in here too to stop you from having to go elsewhere for anything basic. I didn’t notice the price on these, but I’m guessing they’d be around your corner store average. To be honest, if I lived in the area, I’d be in here all the time for my meat, if only for the experience of getting your produce straight from the(ever so chatty) horse’s mouth, as it were…

Your first impressions of Nolan’s will probably be that it’s not the most modern one you’ve been to. There’s an overpowering stench of air-freshener, a TV of Logie Baird vintage and an atmosphere that just seems a bit… odd. Get over this, and you’ll find a butcher that really knows his stuff. The meat here is better quality and value than anywhere else I’ve been in Dublin. It’s covered up my mediocre cooking ability on countless occasions. Dave is an old school gent too, happy to chat away with anyone. It’s the sort of business that aren’t really meant to exist these days, so I was lucky to have it as my local butcher for a long time.

This shop is owned and run is still runned to this day by its namesake. His father was a butcher, his brother was a butcher. you get it his whole life has been around butcher shops. The second you step into the shop you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, and in fact the shop hasn’t changed much since Nolan bought the place. If you’re looking for a particular cut of meat, or you’re trying to avoid processed, mass produced food, and meat then this is your place. The guy know his stuff and it shines through in his shop and everything he does.
