About
the Club

Located at the centre of campus, the UCD University Club provides a comfortable setting in which to socialise, dine and entertain.

Overlooking the lake, the club offers its members and guests a warm and friendly place to meet with excellent service and cuisine, that is both locally sourced and creatively prepared. It is a place to dine, work, relax and connect with other members, encouraging interaction between faculty and staff across all disciplines. UCD University Club is committed to delivering a venue designed to foster relationships with alumni, other institutions and industry partners.

Designed by renowned architects Scott Tallon Walker, as an extension to UCD O’Reilly Hall, the Club is an elegant and warm space for all our members and their guests.

Set across two floors, the rooms are perfect for both business and leisure, designed in a flexible style to facilitate meetings, workshops, events and private dining.

The Common Room, restaurant, café, bar, and meeting room facilities each has their own unique style and character.

Menus are designed by our catering team, celebrating seasonality and Irish food provenance, to create exciting and healthy menu selections.
