How to Book a Table at The Spinnaker Bar Dunmore East

Booking a table at The Spinnaker Bar, Lower Village, Dunmore East is straightforward. Ring Peter on (051) 383 133 or email him at spinnakerbardunmore@gmail.com. Walk-ins are welcome most days, but Peter recommends booking ahead for Friday and Sunday evenings, or if you're bringing a group of six or more.

Ring Peter to Book Your Table

The fastest way to secure your table is to ring Peter directly on (051) 383 133. Peter is the owner and runs both the kitchen and the bar himself, so you're speaking to the person who'll be cooking your meal and pouring your pint. He knows the booking diary inside out and can tell you immediately if your preferred time is free.

Peter takes bookings for any day of the week. If you're planning to come on a Friday or Sunday evening — the busiest nights — he'll appreciate the call. Same goes for any group of six or more. For Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, walk-ins are usually fine, but a quick ring ahead never hurts if you want certainty.

Email Peter at The Spinnaker

If you'd rather email, send your booking request to spinnakerbardunmore@gmail.com. Include your name, phone number, date, time and number of people. Peter checks his email regularly and will confirm your booking by reply. Email works well if you're booking a few days out and don't need an instant answer.

For same-day bookings or last-minute changes, ringing is better. Peter's usually in the pub or the kitchen, and a phone call gets you a yes or no in seconds. If you email on the day and don't hear back quickly, follow up with a call to (051) 383 133.

Message Peter on Facebook

You can also message Peter through The Spinnaker Bar's Facebook page. Peter posts this week's hours and live music schedule on Facebook, so it's a good place to check what's on before you book. Send him a direct message with your booking details and he'll confirm when he's next online.

Facebook messaging is handy if you're already browsing the page to see what's on the menu or who's playing music at the weekend. Peter keeps the page updated with fresh photos, specials and any changes to the week's plan. If you're not in a rush, it's a convenient way to book.

Walk-Ins Welcome Most Days

If you're already in Dunmore East and fancy a cold pint or a bowl of seafood chowder, walk-ins are welcome most days. Peter runs a working harbour pub, and there's usually a table free on quieter evenings. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are your safest bets for turning up without a booking.

Friday and Sunday evenings get busy — locals, families and people down from Waterford City fill the place — so Peter asks that you ring ahead for those nights. If you're bringing six or more, always book. Peter needs to prep the kitchen and make sure there's space on the deck or inside. Walking in with a big group on a Saturday evening without a call is risky.

Check This Week's Hours on Facebook

Peter posts this week's opening hours and food service times on Facebook. Hours can shift depending on the season, the weather and what's happening in the village, so the Facebook page is your live source. Before you book or walk in, check there to see what Peter's doing this week.

If you're planning a Sunday roast or want to know when the kitchen opens on a Wednesday, Facebook has the answer. Peter keeps it current. If you don't use Facebook, ring him on (051) 383 133 and ask. He'll tell you when to come.
