Vintage Cocktail Club

You'll descend into Crown Alley and find yourself in a proper vintage speakeasy—all dim lighting, wood panelling, and the kind of bartenders who actually know their Sazeracs from their Sidecars. It's the opposite of the sloppy shots-and-sambuca joints that plague Temple Bar; instead you're getting considered cocktails made with proper technique and decent spirits. The atmosphere is properly intimate, all close quarters and candlelit corners, which means it fills up quickly with both tourists who've done their homework and locals who know better than to drink anywhere else in the area.
