The Winding Stair Bookshop is one of the oldest surviving independent bookshops in Dublin. The bookshop has a unique atmosphere; a relaxed haven in the centre of the bustling city. It is the perfect shop for browsing and there is always a something a little bit different to be found.
We have a wide selection of books and also some more unusual books that are not normally stocked in the larger chains. We have an extensive range of fiction, including Irish authors, poetry, drama, current affairs, gardening, cookery, art and design, humour, non-fiction and a brilliant children's section. We also stock literary magazines, zines, have several beautiful card ranges, notebooks and tote bags. If we do not have a book that you are looking for, we are happy to order it in for you.
Our staff are always happy to give a recommendation and there are plenty of staff picks around the shop.
The Winding Stair Bookshop is a great venue for a book launch, reading, or other creative event.
In the past, we have also held musical performances, art & photography exhibitions, plays, open-mic sessions, and special events for Culture Night.
