Shopping in Dublin, Ohio: The Complete Local Guide
Dublin’s shopping scene is a mix you don’t find in a lot of Columbus suburbs — walkable, locally-owned boutiques in a historic downtown, a growing riverfront retail district in Bridge Park, and big-box convenience just a short drive away on Sawmill Road. Whether you’re outfitting a new house, picking up a gift, or just want to know where to spend a Saturday afternoon, here’s where to shop in Dublin and what each area is actually good for.
I’m Jacob Bates, a Realtor with Di Lusso Real Estate, and I spend enough time walking clients through Dublin’s neighborhoods that I’ve gotten to know its shopping districts almost as well as its housing stock. Here’s the real breakdown.
Historic Dublin: Boutiques With Character
Centered on High Street, Historic Dublin is where the small-town version of the city still lives — brick sidewalks, buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and a run of independently owned shops that reward slow browsing.
Boho 72 Boutique (55 S. High St.) carries bohemian-leaning women’s clothing, accessories, and gifts, and regularly rotates in new inventory.
Vernacular (39 S. High St.) is contemporary womenswear and accessories alongside a locally curated selection of home goods and gifts — a good stop for cards and one-off gift items.
Paris 75 and The French Store (24 N. High St.) share a space built around French imports, home goods, and macarons — genuinely one of the more distinctive shopping experiences in the suburb.
Trevor Furbay Bespoke (63 S. High St.) handles custom-made suits and high-end men’s and women’s clothing for anyone who wants tailoring done right, including wedding parties.
Dublin Toy Emporium (28 N. High St.) is a proper independent toy store — games, puzzles, crafts, and gifts for every age, in a category that’s increasingly rare outside big-box retail.
Bridge Park: Newer, Denser, More Walkable
Bridge Park is Dublin’s newest retail district, built around walkability along the Scioto River, and it’s where most of the city’s newer boutique and specialty retail has landed.
C. Field & Roe (6772 Longshore St.) focuses on timeless menswear for the modern gentleman and outdoorsman — a well-curated, smaller-format shop.
Kins Collective (4544 Bridge Park Ave.) carries trendy women’s clothing with a mix of casual and dressier pieces.
North Market Bridge Park (6750 Longshore St.), the sister location to Columbus’s original North Market, blends about 20 food and specialty vendors under one roof — part shopping, part food hall, and worth building an afternoon around.
Kilwins (4549 Bridge Park Ave.) is the go-to for hand-dipped chocolate, fudge, and ice cream if you want to shop and snack in the same stop.
Shoppes at River Ridge
Just east of Bridge Park, Shoppes at River Ridge (4305 W. Granville Rd.) is a small collection of bakeries, women’s boutiques, home goods stores, and children’s clothing shops — a good option if you want variety without committing to a full downtown outing.
Terra Art Gallery
For something other than clothing, Terra Art Gallery (6631 Dale Dr.) sells original artwork and offers custom framing, along with paint parties and art classes — a favorite stop for anyone furnishing a new Dublin home with something more original than mass-produced décor.
Outdoor & Seasonal Markets
Dublin’s shopping isn’t limited to storefronts. The Dublin Market at Bridge Park runs every Saturday from May through September, 9 a.m. to noon, with produce, handmade goods, and baked items from local vendors. Night Markets at North Market Bridge Park happen the third Thursday of each month from 6 to 9 p.m., and Dublin also runs a seasonal Harvest Market in November and a Merry Market in December — both worth checking the calendar for if you’re shopping around the holidays.
Bigger-Box Shopping: Tuttle Crossing & Sawmill Road
If you need more conventional retail, The Mall at Tuttle Crossing brings together roughly 120 stores under one roof, from department stores to everyday essentials, and Sawmill Road is Dublin’s corridor for big-box retailers and home improvement stores — the practical counterpart to the boutique shopping downtown.
Where to Start If You’re New to Dublin
If you’re only doing one shopping trip to get a feel for the city, park once in Bridge Park, walk North Market for lunch, cross the Dublin Link to Historic Dublin for the boutiques on High Street, and save Tuttle Crossing or Sawmill Road for whenever you need something more everyday. That loop alone will tell you more about Dublin’s character than almost anything else you could do in an afternoon.
Thinking About Making Dublin Home?
The shopping is one small piece of what makes Dublin one of the most requested suburbs I work with buyers on — it says a lot about a city when you can walk from a custom tailor to a farmers market to a toy store without moving your car. If you’re weighing a move here and want the fuller picture — neighborhoods, schools, current listings — I’d be glad to walk you through it. I’m Jacob Bates, Realtor with Di Lusso Real Estate, and Dublin is a market I know well. Reach out anytime.
