    I reserved a table for me and my guests and we had a table on the terrace, even if it was closed and the hitting was on it was cold, also the table and chair very uncomfortable. I wish I had the table on the first floor since I did the reservation, it would have been great. If they told me where was the table located, I would have cancel the reservation and brought my guest somewhere else.

    Travelling from Cheshire for the weekend. This was booked (6.30pm) for a special mum/daughter birthday celebration specifically due to the over 23 age restriction and no parties as we wanted a a relaxing enjoyable evening of tapas-style food & a few cocktails rather than joining the rowdy crowds in the area. I really cannot say anything positive about this experience other than the gentleman preparing the cocktails having such a flair and passion. Having requested a table in a corner we had been allocated one at the top of the stairs (it wasn’t a last minute booking so surely something a little better could have been provided.?)Although I had expected a dimmed lounge ambience it was decidedly gloomy with few candles dotted around, so much so we couldn’t read the food/drink menus! Once a mobile light was put on it was quite apparent why-it wasn’t the cleanest of establishments! The food arrived and it looked like cheap pre-prepared frozen party food and tasted awful! So much so every dish I tasted ended back on the plate or in my napkin! I told my daughter not to eat it but by this time we were hungry so she ate a little of it. After a short time we asked for the bill and left as we didn’t want to stay in there any longer. Back at the hotel we both became violently ill. My daughter rang the club to let them know this and also emailed to advise not to continue to serve the food. I contacted the Vintage club the following afternoon once we had recovered sufficiently and was told the manager would reply to our email. Yes they did although I was not impressed with the response but at my request refunded the food and service charge (but not the one cocktail- that says it all doesn’t it) Although sometimes things can go wrong and don’t hold up to your expectations, this place has been marketed to be something it is not! If you want a few hours in a quirky dump of a cocktail bar with cheap nasty food this will not disappoint.

    Very disappointing experience. Booked a table, confirmed the booking the day before. Missed a call from the restaurant two hours before the booking, called them back, no one answered, and they cancelled the table. After finally gettting them on the phone they rebooked for the same time but put us at a tiny table in the bar area…. Completely unsuitable for eating at. Waitress dropped two dishes because the table was so small. Service poor overall, food is just average pub grub, cocktails nothing special. Will not be back.

    Well ! Not what I was expecting . First of all the place is a challenge to find . There is a door with three letters on it and a door bell and that’s your lot ring the bell and wait for someone to come and let you in . Upon entry it looks like your entering a 1970 stairwell in your grandparents house . Upstairs through a door and your in your granny living room . Quaint and compact probably Simms it up . I was there with 2 work colleagues so we’re weren’t looking for cozy .The food menu was very limited and not what we were expecting I suppose as the name would suggest it was more about the cocktails than the food . A bit querky I suppose and maybe more of a call in for one than for dinner but hey ho it’s Dublin

    Hi DermottG, Thank you for the 3 stars. We do apologise if you found it difficult to find us, now you know where we are we hope you will drop by again. Just a note on the food options, we offer 12 small (ish) plates & 4 sharing boards, as we are a Cocktail bar & not a Restaurant these are designed to complement the drinks, hope that helps, cheers, VCC

    We really enjoyed VCC. I found it when looking for a cocktail bar and had no idea it was a “speakeasy” style place. The vibe was very cool and the furniture comfortable. The music was quite varied but just the right volume to allow conversation and not be the center of attention. I was more than impressed with their menu. It is a cocktail history book and menu. The drinks were great and the prices very reasonable. We will be back.

    Overpriced, dark and cramped. Only one toilet - unisex - which wasn’t great given the size of the place. If you’re desperate to get rid of 100 Euro in an hour, this is the place to go.
