Nutgrove Shopping Centre
Nutgrove Shopping Centre is one of two shopping centres located in Rathfarnham, a southern suburb of Dublin. The centre was built on part of the old Lamb's Jam orchards.
The first drive-through restaurant (a McDonald's drive-through called McDrive) at the center opened in 1985, it was the first drive through in Ireland and one of the first in Europe. The centre was also the site of an experiment, with Ireland's first social welfare services office within a shopping centre sited here.
The centre has nearly 1,000 free surface car parking spaces, 70 shops, 5 restaurants and a food court.
Nutgrove Shopping Centre is directly served by bus routes S6 & 161 by Go-Ahead Ireland and nearby by route 14 by Dublin Bus
