The Oasis Bar & Grill
The Oasis Bar at The White Sands Hotel, Portmarnock is a traditional Irish bar serving great food in a warm and welcoming environment. With sea views and uplifting entertainment, we recommend it as a great spot for a relaxed bite to eat and a drink. Dublin hotels don’t normally have a beach a few meters from their front door – that’s what makes The White Sands Hotel special and why our Oasis Bar is a true Oasis surrounded by golden sands and the deep blue sea. On a sunny day you can dine al fresco watching passers-by from the front of house deck or on less temperate days, enjoy a walk on beautiful Portmarnock Beach before joining us for a delicious meal.
Live music every Friday and Saturday night.
Live Traditional Irish music Session Every Sunday from 9pm
