The Spinnaker Bar — Live from Dunmore East
Watch live music recorded at The Spinnaker Bar on Dunmore East harbour. These are the real moments — the bands, the sessions, the craic that makes this the best bar on the Waterford coast.
The Spinnaker Bar has been a cornerstone of live music and community life in Dunmore East for decades. Perched on the harbour, with the sea at its feet and the fishing village stretching up around it, there is no better place in the south-east of Ireland to experience genuine live music in a setting that earns it. These videos were all filmed right here — at The Spinnaker Bar, Dunmore East — capturing what real nights at this bar actually look like.
Dunmore East is one of Ireland's most beloved coastal villages. The harbour draws visitors from across Waterford and beyond every summer, and The Spinnaker Bar is the beating heart of that experience. Whether you're watching the trawlers come in at dusk, or packed inside while a band shakes the rafters on a Saturday night, the bar delivers something that's increasingly rare: authenticity. The kind of pub that has earned its reputation over years, not manufactured it.
The acts you'll see in these videos — The Green Floyd, Bending the Strings playing classic bluegrass tunes, Redwater, and a rousing session rendition of Tell Me Ma — represent a sample of the range that has graced the Spinnaker stage. Rock tributes, traditional Irish, bluegrass fiddle tunes, folk classics — the bar programmes music for people who actually want to hear it, not as background noise.
We're proud to share these recordings, the earliest of which dates back to 2011. They're a testament to the consistency of what The Spinnaker offers: a proper venue, a proper crowd, where every music night is treated as an event. If these videos make you want to book a table, ring us on (051) 383 133 or visit the booking page. We'd love to see you.
