Iconic Clontarf Baths Bar & Restaurant Now Open
The iconic Clontarf Baths has been reimagined and restored after a long, long wait for the proud owners, eager locals and curious Dubliners.
Yes, the pool will be open later this Spring for swim and sports clubs, so sign up to one and you can grab your togs and towel and jump in. There’s a really, really cool restaurant and bar with a glass wall overlooking the pool and the bay beyond. Sip a Bathub Gin punch or tuck into a coddle pizza in the warm and dry and then flop back into an oversized deckchair while the kids and seagulls dive bomb each other outside.
Before you finish with a latte, you’ve got a moment to lean outside and shout “FERGUS! WALK! If you fall and break your leg don’t come running to me.”
Ah yes, it’s good to be back.
What's that you ask?
1. So, when will The Baths be open for swimming?
Definitely some time in 2018, and initially we will open to swim and sports clubs. We really want to open to the wider community but The Baths cost a lot of money to run and we are looking for some financial support, any ideas?
2. What changing facilities have you got?
On the swimming level there are changing rooms with showers but make sure you BYOT (bring your own towels).
3. Is it child friendly?
It sure is. We’ve got a shallow end which will be roped off from the deep end (where an adult must accompany minors at all times).
4. Is it wheelchair accessible?
Yes - The bar and restaurant are fully wheelchair accessible and there will also be a wheelchair lift down to the baths.
5. What food will be served in the restaurant?
We’re all about casual dining with a focus on healthy eating and local produce. You can see our menu here
6. Is it child friendly?
It sure is. We’ve got a shallow end which will be roped off from the deep end (where an adult must accompany minors at all times).
7. Is it wheelchair accessible?
Yes - The bar and restaurant are fully wheelchair accessible and there will also be a wheelchair lift down to the baths.
8. What are the opening hours for the restaurant / bar?
We’ll eventually be open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. But for right now, we are open 5pm Tuesday - Friday for dinner and 12pm onward on Saturday & Sunday.
9. What are the opening hours for the restaurant / bar?
We'll be open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Initially, we will ease our way into it and open 5pm Tuesday - Friday for dinner and 12pm onward on Saturday & Sunday.
10. Can I hire it for a private event?
You sure can. We’ve got a couple of raised seating areas for smaller groups, or for a larger party you can hire a whole section of the interior or the terraces. Actually, it’s a great idea – this will be the perfect venue with totally unique views for Christmas parties, birthdays, special occasions or corporate events. Contact us on bookings@thebaths.ie.
11. I’m with the press - how can I arrange an interview or what-not?
You can reach us on info@thebaths.ie.
12. I want to work at The Baths. Pleeeeaaaase.
No problem, if you’re a brilliant chef, baker or cocktail maker. We’re also looking for exceptional bar staff, baristas and wait staff but you’ve got to have lots of experience. Ready? Ok send your CV to hr@thebaths.ie.
