Several well-known junctions in Dublin city still carry the name of the pub or business which used to occupy the corner.

While this practice is by no means unique to Dublin, the pace of recent development there has meant that the original source of the name is more likely to have disappeared.

Examples include:

• Doyle's Corner: in Phibsboro
• Hart's Corner: in Glasnevin
• Kelly's Corner: at the junction of Camden Street and Harrington Street (South Circular Road), at the edge of PortobelloBus 16a comes from Dublin Airport (DUB) and stops at Kellys Corner
• Leonard's Corner: at the junction of South Circular Road and Clanbrassil Street
• Baker's Corner: in Deansgrange
• Hanlon's Corner: in Cabra
• Vaughan's Corner: in Terenure

Other street corners have been christened after influential Irish people, for example Rory Gallagher Corner in Temple Bar.
