Sweny's Pharmacy, or F. W. Sweny & Co. Ltd. is a former Victorian era pharmacy, now a new and used book store, a Joycean cultural centre, hosting daily group readings of Joyce's work and supporting new aspiring writers, in Dublin, Ireland most notable for appearing in James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. The pharmacy is one of many Joycean landmarks scattered throughout Dublin, and has become a literary tourist attraction, particularly on Bloomsday (16 June) when fans of Joyce visit the premises to celebrate the book.
