As a music venue, Vicar Street is well known, but don’t let a lack of tickets to the next big gig stop you from popping in for a drink. The gorgeously designed main bar is big and bright, with windows on the world it seems – the most coveted seating areas are somewhere between the floor-to-ceiling windows and beside the huge roaring fire. As a lunch venue, the bar menu is substantial enough, with a moderately good wine list. Expect the usual leek and potato soup and ciabatta sandwiches. And best of all, as most people only think of going to Vicar Street for a pint before the gig starts, it’s empty most of the time.
