Grove Social Club

Grove Social Club

The Grove Social Club was an Irish alternative discothèque social club started in Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 1967 on Mount Prospect Avenue in Clontarf, in Belgrove Football Club (from which the club got its name). It moved to St. Paul's College, Raheny in 1975 when the old pavilion was burnt down. The disco was known as the Northside's (of Dublin, Ireland) original alternative disco, and along with Tamangos in Portmarnock and Saints in Howth was one of the few 'dances/discos' on the northside of Dublin. Cecil Nolan was the DJ at the Grove until it closed in 1997.

In 2001 Andy Colbert began running Grove tribute nights at The Isaac Butt Venue in Dublin's city centre. In late 2004, he eventually persuaded Cecil Nolan to make guest appearances, hence these tributes became reunions and relocated to The Sheiling Hotel, Raheny. These reunions ran four times a year - Easter, Summer, Hallowe'en and Christmas, until the beginning of redovelopment of the Sheiling Hotel into an apartment building in Spring 2008.

A documentary about the Grove was commissioned by Radio Telefis Eireann and televised in 2006.
