They were able to accommodate us mid-week without a reservation, but Friday night we made one to come back. There were gobs of people waiting to get in so we're glad we did! The entrance is very non-descript. It's an ugly grey metal door with VCC randomly applied, so if you didn't know what was there it would look industrial. There is a door bell to the left of the door. Ring it a few times and someone will open the door and check you in. With reservations they do make you wait until exactly that time so don't be alarmed. Your table is already selected for you. The inside is loungy and very swanky. Both times we had extremely comfortable chairs. Service is immaculate. Their menu is massive, very well published and explained. Our servers were both able to explain exactly what the cocktail may taste like as some of the combos might blow your mind. I had the Dirty Wizard which sounds odd on based on ingredients but was delicious. I also had the Purple Pearl which was my perfect cocktail. My husband tried a few different whiskey concoctions and he was impressed by all of them. I highly recommend adding VCC to your Dublin itinerary!

They have bread, meat, cheese, salads, soup, packaged sandwiches/salads/desserts, and alcohol and mixers to make your own cocktail plus wine, beer, and soda.

On warm nights it's the perfect place to sit outside with a pint and a few friends (or in the afternoons with a paper) to soak up those rare good weather days. There's live music throughout the summer (probably the whole year, but I'm only interested in this place when the weather's nice) that's got a pretty passionate following. For visitors stopping in when things are quiet and little colder, the pub's rich wood interiors and OMP* can be just what the publican ordered after a weekend elbowing through the crowded pubs in town. I've heard complaints about The Villager's lack of offerings (the TV is usually off unless it's match day), but sometimes all you need is a bit of quiet and a cold drink. *Old Man Pub

Decent old man pub downstairs. Nice outdoor area to catch the rays both to front of pub and back! Upstairs a very decent cocktail bar with good quality excellently mixed cocktails! Great selection cocktails all priced reasonably. The decor is good going for a shabby chic vintage look. Staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Comfy Chesterfield couches a plenty. Complimentary board games and quiz cards to keep you entertained if you are that way inclined. Free biscuits too. They also unexpectedly have a laser machine for those allergic to carrying cash ;) What more can I say venture in and try! You won't be disappointed.

We were so excited to visit the smallest Irish bar in Dublin, but the experience ended up being…read morereally disappointing. We got our drinks without a problem, but then we watched the bartender refuse service to an older lady and her three friends -- who didn't even seem to be drinking yet -- saying the bar was closed. She politely asked for just one beer to share, even saying they'd drink it quickly, and he still refused. A few minutes later, someone else came up asking for a Jack Daniels "to drink fast," and he laughed and poured it without hesitation. Then another girl asked for two Guinness, and despite claiming the bar was closed, he said, "How can I say no to that?" and served her. Watching the older lady get singled out like that felt awful and unfair. On top of that, the bathroom was disgusting -- no toilet paper, no paper towels, and the toilet seat wouldn't stay up. Definitely not clean. We came here excited, but it wasn't worth it at all. Just a few doors down there's a fantastic place with great service that was far better than this experience. Sad one person can make her break a place.
