Neat little indie bookstore…read more Arrived just before closing. Nice selection of books, I was able to quickly find something that I am enjoying. They seemed to have a very inviting children's section. Wish I had more time really take in the offerings of books.

Much in the manner of most indie bookshops, this place is small with a surprisingly big and well…read morechosen selection of books on offer. It's the same in places like Raven books in Blackrock... the shop owners are geniuses when it comes to filtering out the crap I think I want to read and offering truly great books by brilliant authors. This is no less apparent than in the children's section where there really is a lot of rubbish out there. There are however a lot of gems too, and this is one of the shops you are guaranteed to find them.

The shelves…read moreare overflowing with titles of all genres, including a decent history and biography section. There's a children's bookshelf, and tables in the centre of the room are piled high with fiction and special interest. The guy who works here (the owner maybe?) has a special interest in sci-fi and horror, which are also well represented. A great place to while away an hour or two, browsing for gems.

Holy amazing bookstore, Batman!!…read more This place is huge and stacked with books both used and new. Plus, upstairs is a plant shop and a cafe. The prices are great, and I found a few books that are hard to find in your average bookstore. Moreover, their organization and categorization is perfect, it virtually brought me to tears. Lastly, the service is friendly and nice. If you're a book lover, just go! Enjoy!

This is one of the oldest bookstores in Dublin. The main entrance has beautiful large windows with…read morebook displays. The Grafton Street entrance is a little less ornate. The store has several floors with a large selection of books. It has lots of Irish literature and Irish authors as well as fiction, travel, cooking, children's box and lots of others.

This is three stories of books and it is worth taking a slow walk through! The books are new-book prices so they are a bit expensive but just seeing the huge selection of books and the huge store is enough. I ended up getting one book as a gift for a friend and a Hodges Figgis tote bag for myself. The people working here are friendly and knowledgeable. There is always someone around if you have any questions.

Once upon a time, we fell into this lovely bookstore. Great options and neatly organized. It is not…read morehuge, but if you are looking for a bestseller and/or Irish books this is a good stop. We purchased several books we just couldn't leave without. If I were to make a suggestion, I would want to make certain the people in the checkout are personable. There were three people present today (staff) while we were there. I believe I was "helped" by the manager - she seemed to be training someone(?). Customer service was not her strong suit to say the least. Perhaps a bad day? Otherwise, a worthwhile stop. The end.

The Winding Stair Restaurant is a huge 0/5 for me though. They criticized me for trying to just get a drink after a long day of walking.

In the spirit of its location, there's an area dedicated to Irish writers that is a must-browse. The store also carries the types of goodies that stationary lovers go feral over -- tote bags, cards, small & larger prints, etc. Serene ambiance, picturesque location, & staff that were eager to help. I wish I could've spent more time here, perhaps eating at the same-named restaurant upstairs, but alas, my time in Dublin was all too brief.
