Kind service, extremely helpful and a great selection of items. I'll definitely shop here first before looking for games elsewhere!

Save your time and don’t sell to him. The guy spent nearly 10 minutes to find the worst price for the video game I had and offered the half of the amount, even CEX is better.

It has a very "Black Books" feel with a much kinder owner. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Good source of older (e.g. N64, Dreamcast, Playstation and newer) games.

I've been in Bookmart a couple of times, It's a cool local bookstore where you can find any kind of books from Irish history, math, fiction and non-fiction too. If you would like to have the proper local bookstore visit go to Bookmart

Charming little shop with a big range of retro video games and books. The man was happy to help me find a nice book to read.

Seems like a store which has existed for several years in the same spot. The owner is an old man who's still running the store. It has a great combination of old games and books. Would recommend a visit, it'll be like a trip down the memory lane.

It feels like you take a step back in time in this store, it's very nostalgic. Prices are a big high, but it's a nice spot to pop into & see if anything catches your eye.

The owner is really helpful and kind. The shop seems old, but that look is authentic to it. Didn't find what I was looking for, but I played a game of Mario Kart with the owner and it was like he wasn't a stranger to me. Just a nice vibe and got a friendly game out of it too 😋

Great experience finding this store today. I’d been looking for some DS games for quite some time now, and finally was able to purchase a few games. The shop owner was kind, and well informed; the shop had a good selection and reasonable prices for its products. Definitely worth the trip in.

I'd never met him before but he's well known to all the students for his books and his great encyclopedic mind. Wonderful man. Just to browse with 2 other customers. We stayed to listen to the program and have a chat. People he knew as students now bring him DVDs,books,x boxes etc and mostly they don't want paying. He is a kind man. Some university books cost a hundred or more. Some items are still priced in Punts. Show less

I like playing old video games so I stopped in, but I found very little interesting stock. Most games were also beat up and dirty, there was not a single PS1 or Dreamcast game with a decent looking box, which is a shame. Prices were also generally too high, some games and consoles were 50%-100% more... Read more

I like playing old video games so I stopped in, but I found very little interesting stock. Most games were also beat up and dirty, there was not a single PS1 or Dreamcast game with a decent looking box, which is a shame. Prices were also generally too high, some games and consoles were 50%-100% more expensive than going prices on eBay, which is usually a last resort when looking for an old game. Owner was a bit rude too, and seemed to be entirely a businessman who wants your money and not at all a retro games enthusiast. Seemed like a nice store, but I wouldn't bother coming in again. Maybe the books are ok, but I suggest you buy old games elsewhere. Show less

Hidden Gem, guy is kind. So this shop is a Kind Irish Gem. Never judge a book by his cover. Take your time to browse books ( and the games )on the shelves, or if you are in a hurry, He will assist you. God bless you.

Prices for games are mixed but I didn't see anything too extortionate and some were priced very reasonable. Cartridge games are kept behind the counter so you may need to ask if you are looking for something specific, but all disk based games have their cases out on shelves to browse. All in all a nice little shop to check out. From the book side of things I didn’t browse much when I was there but they did have a reasonable selection for a small shop. Show less

Delighted to see this store still going. It's a rarity. I'd encourage gamers and film heads to support it. Gentleman was friendly, engaged in a bit of chat. They stock great films and used games. Definitely will head back. Bought Taxi Driver dvd. I found the prices very competitive.
