Sub City is for all those comic book fans out there - a treasure trove of material. They focus much…read moremore on the printed matter than on the toy/collectible end of things. The shop is narrow but packed and reasonably priced even in this age of internet shopping. Whether you've read all the Frank Miller stories out there or you've just heard of Alan Moore, this is not an off-putting nerd-paradise that you might expect. That may have something to do with the daylight streaming in the window.

The world of comic books is one that I have never delved into. I am a big fan of reading, and of…read morelooking at pictures but comics have just never interested me. Combine that with the fact that anime scares me, and you have the reason why I have never, ever been inside a comic book shop. But, I decided to be brave and check Sub-City out, for the sake of adventure and boredom. Now, having absolutely no knowledge of comics, going into a lion's den of this sort was extremely intimidating. I really didn't have much to look for or at, because I wasn't looking for anything and didn't know what I was looking at. But, the guy at the desk greeted me like he would any other comic book dork and I was enlivened. I perused the comics, marveled at the amazing artwork in some and checked out the models, which are probably a lot of fun to put together. The guy was tied up with another customer, but when they were done I knew he was going to come talk to me and I got all panicked. Lo and behold, he sauntered over and chippily said, "how's it going?" "I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just looking around. Huuyuuuh thanks!," I blubbered. He laughed and proceeded to say it was totally cool and to let him know if I needed help. He handled my dork meltdown well, which makes me think he probably deals with that a lot.

Rollercoaster is one of those gem's of a shop where the guys who run it love music, and also don't…read moretry and charge you the earth for their stock. It also now really starting to build up it's vinyl selection, which is brilliant as that's my media of choice for music listening. They are also very supportive of local acts and stock lots of stuff from the talent in the area (of which there is plenty). All in all, a great record shop, and good people. Go there, and buy something. Paul Galbally

Bought a set of headphones in May and the power button jammed on them in October. I had lost my…read morereceipt but with a bank statement the staff were so helpful (Especially Brendan)! I was going away for a month a week later and when I went back in to ask about my headphones I was told they hadn't been collected yet so they gave me a brand new pair!! They were so helpful and I am so appreciative of all their efforts! Would definitely recommend them to anyone considering investing in a good pair of headphones etc. as you are not only paying for the product but the ability to rely on excellent customer service :) Thank you!!!

Hells yes, this is 'Dublin' to me. The kind of Dublin you hope will manage to stick around though…read moreboom and bust and everything in between. Going about business with a quiet stalwart dignity, unfazed by trends and the need to be shiny and the next new hip thing, instead very much it's own. This place sells books, well curated second hand and new ones. The selection is pretty good considering they don't have a lot of space, and I love the way they are laid out on the central tables so you can have a gawp or a good auld rummage. That's exactly the pleasure of this place too; you go in for a look and leave with something unexpected. It's not really a bookshop you go to with a singular book in mind to purchase - sure we have Chapters for that, this place is far more enchanting and perhaps, some might say, disorganized. There's also a great second hand music store in the back (Freebird Records) with a brill Blues section and decently priced CDs and vinyl too. Long may this place last. Go in with no expectations and you may well find yourself charmed.

I went in here last week for a browse, i actually had never been in this shop before and i dont…read moreknow why because i love a good deal on a DVD, how had the cheap DVD's in here not caught my attention? Anyway, i picked up a few things and was wowed by the prices on he covers, some of these films wee fairly new to DVD! then i decided to look inside the box to make sure that the DVD was actually in there and they were not just selling the box or some mad scam like that, nope, the DVD was in side but it looked like the last person to touch the DVD had just taken their hand out of a pot of jam or something. how had that happened? then i saw the sign on the wall, one with teeny tiny writing on he bottom. it explained that all the stock in the shop was second hand stock or stock that had previously been rental stock or display stock and thats why the prices were so cheap. On top of that there were no guarantees on you purhase either so you couldnt return a DVD that didnt work (possibly due to jam smears!). So basicallyl this shop is like a big game of VD lottery, you migh be lucky enough o bag one tha works for your three euro! like buying a scratch card maybe but in this case you were looking for something without the scratches! I didnt have time to open and close all my boxes and examine each CD so i left, this might be a good place if your looking for a deal and you have time, i just wasnt for me unfortunatly!
