Check Facebook for This Week's Hours
The Spinnaker Bar posts its current opening hours and food service times on the Spinnaker Facebook page every week. This is the most reliable way to know what time the bar opens and when food is being served, because hours can shift with the season, bank holidays, match days and special events.
Rather than list fixed times that may not reflect what's happening this week, the team at The Spinnaker updates Facebook regularly so you always have accurate, current information. Give the page a follow and you'll never be caught out.
General Opening Patterns
While the Spinnaker team posts exact hours on Facebook each week, here's a general sense of how the bar operates throughout the year:
Summer Season (June – August)
During the summer, The Spinnaker operates longer hours to accommodate the surge of visitors to Dunmore East. The bar typically opens from lunchtime and stays open into the late evening. Food service runs through a long window during the day and evening. This is the busiest time of year — the harbour is full of life, the deck is packed, and The Spinnaker is at the heart of it all. Booking ahead is strongly recommended for tables during July and August.
Autumn and Spring
Outside of peak summer, The Spinnaker typically opens from mid-afternoon on weekdays and from lunchtime at weekends. Food service runs into the evening. The bar remains a popular local spot throughout the year, particularly on match days and music nights.
Winter (November – March)
The Spinnaker stays open through the winter, serving the local community in Dunmore East and drawing visitors on weekends and bank holidays. Hours may be slightly shorter during quieter winter weeks, but the bar is always busy for big GAA and rugby matches, Christmas parties and New Year's Eve. Check Facebook for exact times or give us a ring.
Bank Holidays
Bank holidays are often among the busiest days at The Spinnaker. The bar typically extends its hours and the team puts on a great atmosphere. St Patrick's Day, Easter weekend and August bank holiday Monday are particularly lively. Check Facebook for what's planned and book your table early.
