About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions
Charming

Vintage Cocktail Club (VCC) is a multi-awardwinning cocktail bar, born in 2012 behind a black
door in the heart of old Dublin. It now lives in the
250-year-old Powerscourt Townhouse on South
William Street, steps from Grafton Street. The
ground and first floors are vintage throughout and
fully candlelit, with a long-standing team and a
menu of timeless classics, innovative signatures
and a few new additions. Below, the subterranean
Punch House & Whiskey Caverns serves punch by
the bowl in bookable communal rooms, with
charcuterie, cheese, pastries and small plates until
the early hours. Look for the signature black door
and ring the bell. Strictly over 23s

Was hard to get service, we had to go to them even though there was wait staff for table service. When we did get service they were very nice. Only one of the cocktails on the menu was available in the punch bowl and it didn’t taste great how it was made. Aside from the that the dj was really good and the place is really beautiful.

When I made the booking, I hadn’t realised that the address had changed, and as they’re in a new location, they’re not serving brunch yet. The service is still brilliant, as are the cocktails; I hope they’ll start serving brunch again soon. The new setting is also really nice, but it’s lost a little of the charm it had at the old venue; it’s just a matter of getting used to the change 😌

The service was great at 6pm, but was quiet. We went somewhere else for a meal at 7pm. When we came back at 9pm, it was a lot noisier and the music was too loud to have a proper conversation. We waited ten minutes and didn’t get served, so then left.
