Vice Coffee Inc. has served coffee in Dublin since January 2013. It is a multi-roaster coffee bar, now inside Wigwam, a bar and venue in Dublin 1 that it shares with a rum bar, the Botequim Brazilian kitchen and a ping pong club. Its slogan is “Coffee, treats, bants, beats”.
The menu rotates roasters from Ireland and abroad. Regulars include Square Mile, 3fe, Bailies, Calendar, Coffee Collective and Friedhats, along with Imbibe, Roundhill and Upside.
Vice is also an Irish coffee bar, with three on the menu. The “Plain Jane” is made with espresso and Kilbeggan whiskey, the “Luxurious Linda” with cold brew, Teeling Stout Cask and poitín, and “Fancy Frankie” with espresso and Teeling Small Batch. The drink was created in the winter of 1943 by Joe Sheridan, head chef at the Foynes airbase near Limerick, and Vice has updated the traditional recipe with its own ingredients and techniques.
