The Club is a great place to eat pub food, in a beautiful old pub. If going at a busy time best to book, they were turning away many people last Saturday night. Regularly eat there and never been disappointed, Staff are always friendly. A favourite place to eat in Dalkey.

About the restaurant

Beautiful coffee, toasties and brunch with an incredible view! Now open for Wine & Nibbles Thursday to Saturday 6pm to 10pm.

There are limited indoor seats available to book but we have blankets available for all our outdoor seating to keep you nice and cosy. We will only be taking bookings for our indoor seats as the weather is a little too unpredictable on our beautiful island. We will be doing a waitlist for seats too.
