What I really like about Dublin is that you can always find new places. There are constantly new shops opening, but I never expected to find a K-pop shop in the heart of the city.
For this edition of ‘K-Pop in’ we are showing you the only shop in Dublin (at the time of writing this) that sells merch, albums and many more goods that any K-pop fan will like to own.
‘Rare’ is a shop located in George’s Street Arcade in Dublin 2. It has a wide range of merch despite the size of the shop. In this little gem you can find you mainly mainstream group photocards, lightsticks, pins, albums and many other things to add to your K-collection.
Take a look at part of their range in this pics:
Bonus hint: There is also a small kiosk in the same side as Rare that sells posters of some mainstream groups.
I hope that many more shops like this one continue to open in Dublin city, and if you know of any other shop in town let us know!
I can’t find your store in Google maps is normal?
Hi there!
If you look up ‘George’s Street Arcade’ you’ll be able to find it on Google Maps. You have to go inside the arcade to find the little shop. 🙂
Hope that helps!
I’ve bought from Rare once, they were even able to me a poster that was only available for preorder almost a year after the album came out. Nice to see it’s still opened! Do you know if they still have a phone we can use to contact them and check any availability of the items? I lost their number 🙁
Can I shop online if I can how long does it take to arrive:)
We don’t know if that’s possible, you can give them a call or call into the shop for more details.
Hi I am going to go into the shop on Saturday so will try and get a number for you
