The Clock Tower at Fintra, Killybegs, Donegal is a newly discovered gem of a place, incorporating stylish restaurant, lounge bar and a well designed space for functions of all sorts. The place gets its name from the old tower and stone frontage dating from 1896, which have been elegantly blended so that old and new are joined seamlessly to create a welcoming atmosphere in a beautiful location. Just 3 kilometres west of Killybegs on the Carrick/Glencolmcille road, the Fintra estate compromises of 85 rolling acres tucked in between the mountains and the sea with rolling sand dunes, old woodland and the only Blue Flag beach on the north coast of Donegal Bay. The lounge bar on three levels with outside deck provides for 100 patrons in comfort. Food is available in the lounge and the sixty-inch plasma screen TV set into the wall is the ideal way to keep abreast of the news or watch that major sporting event. Following the spiral staircase up the tower leads you to the Clock Tower's luxury "Tir na nOg" restaurant, which also has a magnificent view south over the sand dunes and sea. This room is ideal for private parties, celebrations or corporate events for up to 50 patrons. The Clock Tower prides itself with a team of highly trained staff dedicated to ensuring your visit is memorable and enjoyable. The Clock Tower is also renouned for its family friendly atmosphere.
