Freebird still exists, down a corridor off Wicklow St. Plenty of vinyl and second-hand CDs to be found there. I've never actually set foot in The Sound Cellar, I've always imagined it to be full of elitist metalheads.

My favourite would be Tower Records in Dublin. It has the right balance between being a large high street store and being a proper record store run by people who know their music and are very helpful. It has a huge selection of CDs and vinyl that caters for everyone's tastes, a nice selection of books, posters, DVDs, headphones, gifts and you can even get some tea or coffee.
