We consider the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations on a bounded domain $\Omega$ with $C^3$ boundary. We prove that if the velocity field $u \in C^{0,\alpha} (\Omega)$ with $\alpha > 0$ (where we are omitting the time dependence), it follows that the pressure $p \in C^{0, \alpha} (\Omega)$. In order to prove this result we use a local parametrisation of the boundary and a very weak formulation of the boundary condition for the pressure, as was introduced in [C. Bardos and E.S. Titi, Philos. Trans. Royal Soc. A, 380 (2022), 20210073]. Moreover, we provide an example illustrating the necessity of this new very weak formulation of the boundary condition for the pressure. This result is of importance for the proof of the first half of the Onsager Conjecture, the sufficient conditions for energy conservation of weak solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations in bounded domains.
