At the Royal Irish Yacht Club we take great pride in the reputation we have earned for our excellent food and service standards. With local fresh produce, sourced daily, from quality certified suppliers; our Dining Room and Bar menus embody the best of modern Irish dining.
 

THE DINING ROOM


With tall sash windows overlooking the beautiful setting of the Harbour, the Dining Room has long been considered one of the most elegant Club Dining Rooms in the country. The room has capacity to host up to 90 guests. 
Pre-dinner drinks may be enjoyed in our relaxing Drawing Room or on the Terrace. 
Our chefs present dishes that are traditional in creation but contemporary in delivery with impeccable service. To complement our cuisine, guests may enjoy a world-class wine list, including rare wines and wines from small wine producers. 
 

BAR FOOD


The Bar Menu can be served in the Drawing room, Members Bar, Bar and on the Terrace when the weather allows. The lovely ambience of our Club presents you with the chance to sit and chat with fellow Members, meet some new people and enjoy hearty fare and casual dining at its very best. 

Our Bar Food menu is served from 12 noon Tuesday to Saturday. Breakfast is available each Saturday morning from 10:00 hrs until 12:00 noon and from 10:30 hrs until 13.00 hrs each Sunday. Advanced booking is generally not required for Bar Food, but if you have special requirements or would like to eat after 16.00 hrs, we would ask that you notify us.

WINE 


Our Wine Committee carefully hand picks each wine on the list for member’s enjoyment. The club also invests in buying fine wines ‘En Primeur’. These wines are laid down and placed on the wine list only when they are ready for consumption. The practice of buying wine ‘En Primeur’ allows members and their guests to drink the finest wines at prices that cannot be matched in other establishments, view our dedicated Wine Page, where you can view the Wine List.
