Business description

The Winding Stair Bookshop & Café became a famous Dublin landmark in the 70's and a popular meeting place for writers, musicians and artists. In an era of few venues it played host to dozens of readings & book launches and for many an unofficial office where long afternoons were spent meeting people. When its closure was announced in 2005 there were muttering about the end of an era ? but, in 2006 the Thomas Read Group brought this much-loved Bookshop & Restaurant back and it's better than ever. The Bookshop continues in the same format as before, with plenty of second-hand books, unusual new publications and a terrific range of children's books. The upstairs Restaurant has maintained the nostalgic ambiance of the famous building and specialises in a simple, high quality Irish cooking with an organic direction and extensive wine list.
