VCC... Brunch Club!

The VC...what now?!

The Vintage Cocktail Club... oh yeah... cocktails... vintage ones... in the coolest surroundings... in a building that's a convertible! Keep reading... 

The 'I spy' hole means they're checking YOU out! 

It goes like this... You walk down Crown Alley in Temple bar... on the left you spot a dark door with the letters V C C on it... you ring the bell and wait... 

You hear feet on the stairs... you assume you're in the wrong place, shuffling your feet ... surely this is a storage house or something... but no... a smiley member of the VCC staff opens the door to a secret, well not so secret, cocktail club! 

Up the stairs with the vintage light shades, you're led into the main part of the club itself! You'll be wow'd I promise! Its like stepping back in time! The walls are beautifully wall papered with classic prints and illustrations hanging on the wall... comfy chairs, a piano, fireplace and you only came for breakfast! 

There's a snug ... so you can pull the curtains and have your own little nook! 

But its sunny... roof terrace anyone?!?! Up you go.... 

Seeeee convertible!!! 

The menu is perfect... not too much choice for the hungover types but with all the usual suspects including veggie and GF options...

There are however rules! Please note... 'when we say you've had enough... trust us!'

The upstairs bar... 

The OJ is freshly squeezed and comes with chunk of cold sliced orange... 

Even the cutlery is vintage and chic... 

The eggs benedict NOT to be missed! 

Perfectly poached eggs plenty of spinach and chunks of ham...

The bacon and eggs comes as so... 2 eggs... anyway you fancy 'em... 

with REAL butter... NOM! 

Since I'm all about the loos in these places, I couldn't miss showing you this sink! SERIOUSLY! HOW cool!?

The cocktail list is extensive, authentic and downright yummy... the last time I was there for drinkies I only made it a third of the way through the list ... but hey... I'm no quitter!!! I'll be back VERY soon for a 'Millionaire', sadly not the human kind but probably more yummy! 

Check them out >>> HERE <<< for the full list of goodies...

It's happy hour SOMEWHERE!!!

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. 

When they wake up in the morning, 

that's as good as they're going to feel all day." 

Frank Sinatra 

Cocktails a la Capri-sun style.. Pluses... handy to have at home in your freezer.. and a damn sight cheaper than you'd pay in a bar in town... I've tried the berry one and its LUSH! in fact a little too easy to drink... *hiccup* 

Berry Daiquiri - 4 PP
Pina Colada - 7 PP
Citrus daiquiri - I'd point it at 4 PP same as the Berry one... 

I'll update this as soon as I have the correct value!

Drink sensibly!
