The Northside is the area bounded to the south by the River Liffey and to the east by Dublin Bay in Dublin, Ireland. It is not an official administrative area but a colloquial term; it is seen as less desirable than the Southside and is more industrialised. Areas in the Northside include Beaumont, Fingas, Glasnevin, Grangegorman, Hill of Howth
The area is sometimes referred to as DNS (or De Nort Soide) to reflect the supposed accent of its inhabitants. Stereotypical Northsiders are sometimes referred to as skangers. The term Skanger is usually labled upon working class "salt of the earth" type Dubliners.
Northside is also the name of a shopping centre in Coolock, Dublin.
