    Nul. On nous a mis au dernier étage c'est à dire en terrasse (pas de toit). Tout le contrire des images cosy montées sur le site. On a eu froid . Le plat que j'ai demandé consistait en fait en des morceaux de bœufs super épicés sans aucun accompagnements donc immangeable J'ai du quémander un peu de riz que lonma amené 20 mn pls tard quand la viande était froide. Super déçu à ne pas faire.

    Vintage Cocktail ClubResponded 3 days agoHi Bernard, We're disappointed you didn't enjoy our terrace, its one of the most requested areas in VCC. The spiced beef dish that you refer too states that it has fresh chilli & also siracha sauce so yes its spicy. If it was not to your liking a simple chat with a server and they would take it away and allow you to choose something else, same goes for where you were seated, again a simple chat and our staff would've tried to find you an alternative which may have led to a better experience VCC

    Girl serving us was lovely and the drinks tasted nice. Problem was we were seated next to the toilet and is stinked. Every time someone opened the door we got a wiff. Felt like the lads beside us might aswell been sitting at the same table,we were all closely packed in together. If we were seated somewhere else then it would of been a better night because the place is pretty cool

    Food was delicious. Cocktails were fabulous.Staff were very attentive but stuck to the two hour rigidly even though the club was empty.

    Vintage Cocktail ClubResponded 3 days agoHi Lolo, Thank you for the kind words. Just a note on the 2 hour sittings, when each sitting comes to the end it can appear that the room is empty, this is because you are one of the last to leave just before the next sitting is due to be sat. Of course if the table is free for the next sitting you can request to stay on, its not always possible but our staff will do their best to accommodate you, cheers, VCC

    🚨It’s important to note you absolutely do have to make a reservation well in advance. This was the most INCREDIBLE experience. I visited with my dad and sister and we all loved it. Tucked away behind a door only identifiable by the “VCC” letters on it, lies the Vintage Cocktail Club. The interior is lavishly decorated for the full speak easy experience, nothing has been overlooked. It’s intimate with great music that plays at a volume that makes it possible to actually talk to one another. For our first round we ordered the Sloeflower, Weathered Storm and the Dirty Wizard, all drinks were superb in taste and presentation - they truly have something for everyone. We shared the VCC platter and added fries, we devoured everything, in most places where the drinks are excellent the food is subpar or an afterthought, but not here. The beef alone is tremendous, but we also loved the brisket, wings and rice balls on the platter. Order it and thank me later. Second round of drinks we got the Tequila Mocking Bird, Wee Dram and Ceylon. Again, superb. Our server was Laura and she was kind, knowledgeable and overall really made our experience just that much better with all that she shared with us (our second round were all her recommendations). We would absolutely return and I would recommend anyone travelling to Dublin add this spot to your must go-to list. Yes, it’s a tad on the pricey side but you get what you pay for 10 times over. A special treat to complete your next trip to Dublin! Thank you VCC and Laura for a fabulous evening. (And bartender who’s name we think is Steve - you rock!)

    Vintage Cocktail ClubResponded on 30 May 2023Hi there, Thank you for the 5 stars and kind words, we'll pass them on to Laura and Stephen. We hope to see you again soon. Cheers, VCC

    My fiancé and I had the pleasure of visiting Vintage Cocktail Club on our recent trip to Dublin. The speakeasy experience was at the top of my list; however, reading the owner's thoughtful responses to people's petty Google reviews made me book this place immediately. Coming from someone who works in the service industry- thank you for sticking up for your staff!! Making a reservation was very easy and clear instructions on finding their location were provided via OpenTable. We were let in right at 9:30pm and were immediately stunned by the gorgeous decor and candle-lit atmosphere (can we just get rid of overhead lighting everywhere?!) Our lovely server, Laura, promptly greeted us and asked if we needed any help navigating the lengthy cocktail menu. We ordered 4 drinks total and an order of parmesan fries, which were unbelievable. Would highly recommend the Jamesons Gate and the Rosy & Jim if you're a whiskey fan. Overall, we had such a memorable experience and will definitely be back next time we are in the Dublin area!

    Very relaxed experience, pricey food menu with fish dish not available on the night we were there. Top floor needs a little tlc, dirty cushion on one sofa.

    Vintage Cocktail ClubResponded 3 days agoHey Anonymous, Thank you for the feedback, the Fish dish has actually been taken off the menu. Our terrace is in the middle of a full refurb, all banquettes and cushions have been completely refurbished, with table tops and ceiling tiles to follow. Should be all sorted for your next visit, cheers, VCC

    Building is kind of hard to find but they do that intentionally it seems, kind of like a speak easy. Strict on arrival time so I grabbed a drink across the street until the 10 minutes were up u too my time to dine. I booked a solo bar reservation as a female. Staff was warm, welcoming and accommodating. The venue is Turkey about specialty drinks as the have a random, Small selection of food to pick from. I selected the crispy beef and truffle fries which where delicious and flavorful. Just not what I was expecting to see on the menu. The Bartender and my waitress made me feel like I was at home with friends which was nice as a lone female traveler. I will say the bar seating was vey uncomfortable as the bar did not extend out for leg room and I am a tall girl, so to reach comfortably I had to squeeze my legs to the side and lean in for two hours. There is a time restriction of two hours on any reservation. Well worth the reservation and price. To USA dollar I thought the spend was affordable but not inexpensive. The neighborhood the Restuarant sits in allows for an easy pub crawl after dinner of that is your thing.

    This is the perfect speakeasy. Literally having to find the door and knock and then going up the stairs to this quaint room that’s only lit by the wood burning fire and little candles on each table. The staff was wonderful and very friendly and had great recommendations for drinks and food. The drinks were fantastic and so unique and the food was delicious! Would come back here again and again. Just beware the drinks and food are a bit pricey but worth it.
