Ginger from Dublin

About me Born and raised in Poland, living in Dublin since 2006 and absolutely loving the weather here - after all, nowhere else in the world can you have all 4 seasons in one day. I’m a traveller: my first travel abroad was when I was 14 years old and I’ve been travelling ever since. I have visited nearly all continents and I even managed to get to the end of the world (quite l...
""Wigwam" makes some of Dublin's finest coffee! But this place is much more than this: in the basement, you'll find a social club to make you evening fun!"

If you are in for a hunt for a great coffee, this is Dublin's finest! Wigwam inherited a great place that only a few years ago was a full-time venue with great live music and gig almost every night. At some point, the owners recognized that it's a fantastic hub and people really like to hang around the place even when there was nothing on and also during the day, so they invited 3FE to set up a cafeteria in the premises. In 2013, 3FE switched off the coffee machines, however their main barista stayed behind and opened The Vice Coffee Inc with Dublin's best multi-roaster coffee bar.

The fantastic coffee and home-made cakes are my main reason to come down here, however this place is so much more than this. In the basement, you can find a social club with ping-pong tournaments (on Wednesdays at 19:00), a comedy club, a theatre, podcast shows and even bottomless brunches. There is also a lovely terrace upstairs with live acts, meet-ups and screenings to fill the evening.

The truth is, I come here sometimes 'just for the coffee' and before I blink, I'm dancing upstairs to great music after listening to some interesting talks the entire afternoon. This place has it all.

About me Born and raised in Poland, living in Dublin since 2006 and absolutely loving the weather here - after all, nowhere else in the world can you have all 4 seasons in one day. I’m a traveller: my first travel abroad was when I was 14 years old and I’ve been travelling ever since. I have visited nearly all continents and I even managed to get to the end of the world (quite literally – I was on an island that is the first inhabited land in the world to enter a new date). As I’m working mostly remotely, I like to become a local at the place of my travels. So instead of sig...
