Basic Instincts

Basic Instincts is Ireland's premier adult and fetish boutique, a long-running, professionally run store in Temple Bar with more than 26 years on the scene. Alongside a superb range of toys, DVDs, clothing, leather, and fetish gear, it's the official Irish agent for Mister B and stocks its own handmade Venetian masks crafted by artisans across Europe. The knowledgeable, friendly staff make everyone welcome, from first-time buyers to seasoned fetishists, and there's a basement cruise cinema downstairs with all-day pass-outs. Central, smart, and inclusive, drawing a mixed but very gay crowd, it's Dublin's go-to shop for gear and a play space in one.
