Clontarf Baths and Assembly Rooms, as it was known, opened circa 1886 and featured a large, tidal, seawater swimming pool that juts out from the promenade wall into the bay. The Clontarf Swimming Club was founded in Clontarf Parish Hall in 1884 and the club was based in the Clontarf Baths. Records show that Clontarf Swimming Club held regular races and waterpolo matches at the Clontarf Baths.

Today, Clontarf Swim Club are back in the pool after a long 22 years! If you fancy a dip in the pool, you can sign up through Clontarf Swimming Club, then grab your togs and towel and jump in!

Our restaurant and bar is overlooking the pool and the bay beyond.

Sip a Bathtub Gin cocktail or tuck into our fabulous seafood chowder in the warm and dry and flop back into our oversized deckchair.
