    We are visiting Dublin for 2 nights to celebrate my partners 30th birthday, and we could not have enjoyed our meal at Krewe any more. The staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing. I am gluten free and the options I was able to choose from were some of the best I feel I’ve been offered in a long time. We both had the chicken tenders and it was nice to not feel left out for once! Thank you Krewe for such a lovely birthday meal!

    I recently visited VCC and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Although I myself felt underdressed, I immediately felt welcomed. The staff were more than pleasant, with the hostess introducing herself as I entered, it made the environment feel familiar. I was brought into the main lounge, it felt intimate but the room was full of energy, with happenings between romantics, friends and colleagues. I was sat in perfect view of the bar, it was a joy to watch the bartender work, by far the most competent mixologist I have seen. I can say the same for all the staff, everything moved fluidly with all smiles and courtesy checks. On top of that, you get very good value for your drinks and from what I saw, food too. I had the Original Milk Punch (recommend to anyone) and the 'Single Elix' (for people who like their drinks strong! And a little bitter). I'm not fortunate enough to have a space like this close to home, so whenever I get the chance, I will be back. Thanks again VCC
