Our Take

Hidden Cocktail Bar Behind Temple Bar

The Vintage Cocktail Club is a hidden cocktail bar in Temple Bar — accessed through an unmarked door on Crown Alley. The room is themed 1920s — leather banquettes, antique cocktail glassware, dim warm lighting — and the cocktail programme is committed to pre-prohibition classics.

The drinks are precise. The bartenders work in formal jackets. The cocktail menu rotates seasonally with thoughtful original cocktails alongside reliable classics. Reservation strongly recommended.

The crowd is mid-thirties Dublin cocktail enthusiasts and visiting tourists who navigated past the Temple Bar tourist crowds. Pair with Peruke and Periwig for a complete Dublin classical cocktail evening.
