Freebird Records Dublin
Hidden in plain sight
If you like music as much as I do (or anyone else in the world, because let's face it, it is the first thing we mention when people ask about our tastes or interests) I got you covered. Freebird Records in Dublin is the perfect place to get lost among CDs and vinyls like in that iconic scene from 500 Days of Summer. Plus, it's also a book store! There are all kinds of second-hand books at a good price, from the newest to the most classic.
At Freebird Records, you can also find many cool vintage things like postcard books set in the 1920s or copies of old magazines and pamphlets. What I like the most about Freebird Records, The Secret Book and Record Stores is, as its own description indicates, how secret and mysterious it is. Walking down Wicklow Street a couple of buildings before the street ends and Grafton Street begins you will find this little gem. But pay attention, otherwise its small entry could go unnoticed. Don't worry, the secret sign outside the secret store that reads The Secret Book and Record Store will give you a hint about where to find Freebird Records, The Secret Book and Record Store.
