This is a true speakeasy, which is really hard to come by. It's suggested to make a reservation…read morebecause they fill up quickly. We visited twice, and the first time was on a Wednesday night. 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!

Definitely worth visiting if you're in Dublin and like speakeasies and cool drinks!

They seem to have changed the name of the lounge to Liffey Lounge Dublin Airport. It got a…read moreremodel-ish(?) based on the photos. Not bad. Good place to rest. Its right before US preclearance. While it isn't bad it wasn't worth missing my flight for. Customs closes at 4pm even though all other websites note that it closes at 430 or 5....Got there at 4:05 and they said nope. Also preclearance is the worst thing ever. I would rather go through customs at JFK. Honestly ridiculous.

The Liffey Lounge was fine, but nothing fancy. It was pretty crowded when I got there on a Friday…read moreafternoon, but I found a place to sit. 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. I wouldn't go out of my way to go, but it was on the way to my gate. I also think it's worth stopping if you have time if you have the priority pass, but I don't think I would pay extra money to go.

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.

Gorgeous space within an old Bank Building, with great happy energy or "Craic". Nice mix of locals and tourists. 2. Nice more intimate dining on the Mezzanine. Even the group at the adjacent table seemed far away. Even with limited people watching opportunities, it was fun to look down on the main floor and on our level catch glimpses of a young date in progress. 3. Friendly and pleasant wait person. 4. Both Don and Fern enjoyed their Butternut and Ricotta Ravioli Dish and their Chocolate Brownie for Dessert. 3 of us also enjoyed the local Clockwork Stout. +/- 1. The pro-Palestinian trappings were perhaps a little too "in your face", starting with the big flag at the entrance, and proceeding to the small pin worn by the wait person. I otherwise have no issues with folks expressing their opinions. 2. Gayle's French 75 was just OK. CON 1. Gayle and I ordered the burger which we found overcooked and largely inedible. The much more tasty chips weren't enough to make up for this. 2. Gayle loved her Irish Coffee (See Picture).

Now I am not the most polished guy but wearing dress shoes, french cuffed shirt and a jacket, I thought I would have made the grade. Apparently not. The only people coming out where a bunch of old dudes (like my self) not models or anything worth the exclusivity. Pretty much don't bother this place is BS. PS the only 5 stars seem to be from young women so probably the only ones getting in and getting a drink.

Shocking incompetence from the bouncers here last Saturday night. They aim for quite a mature crowd…read moreand so it was. There were quite a few people waiting outside, inquiring quite politely and reasonably soberly about getting in. There was no aggression or drunken messes at all. Well the bouncers didn't have a breeze what to do and started spouting crap about it being a VIP club and if you weren't on the list you weren't getting in. This is obviously not true. So they gave up on this approach shortly thereafter and told everybody to queue to the left. Then they said nobody on the left was getting in. I pointed out that they had asked people to queue on the left but the fella denied it. So we gave up and headed up to The Odeon. It was quite bizarre. They were either completely incompetent or evil geniuses that wanted to get rid of a crowd. I reckon it's the former because the only reason to have turned people away would have been if the club was full and surely they would have just explained that. Anyway, won't be in a rush to encounter those clowns again.
