The Moorings Bar and Restaurant

The Moorings Bar and Restaurant is a harbor-side establishment in Dungarvan offering both indoor and outdoor seating, including a heated gazebo and a courtyard enclosed by historic castle walls. The interior lounge mimics a ship's bow design, while the outdoor area accommodates events and dining.

The establishment sits adjacent to King John's Castle, a structure from the 12th century that has anchored this location for centuries. This proximity to medieval fortifications has influenced how the restaurant incorporates local maritime traditions into its design.

The restaurant sources fish and shellfish from nearby fishing ports, supporting the local fishing economy that has shaped this coastal town. Diners can taste how these maritime connections are reflected in the menu and the establishment's identity.

The venue opens daily from midday onwards, staying open into the evening with extended hours on weekends. Multiple seating zones, including the heated outdoor area, offer flexibility for different group sizes and preferences.

The interior lounge features naval design elements that create an immersive maritime setting throughout the space. The outdoor area regularly hosts special dining occasions with wood-fired cooking, adding an element of culinary craft beyond standard restaurant fare.
