History
Situated in the heart of Tramore is one of
the oldest 'Drinking Emporiums' in the town.
The VICTORIA HOUSE (or 'THE VIC' as it’s known locally)Is
a pub that exudes 'atmosphere' and 'craic' to all who walk through
its doors.
Founded in 1818 as a Coach Stop/Hotel, 'THE VIC' still maintains
its old world charm, reflected in its stonewalls and maritime
features. Transformed in the
late nineteen eighties , the
pub is now spread over three floors and a large beer garden overlooking Tramore bay.
Each floor has it's own bar and live music is a regular feature. Some of the
better-known musicians to have played at 'The VIC' include:
