Yes, but it doesn't involve the coriolis effect.
It depends on the shape of the bath tub, the position of the drain, the movement of water before it starts to go down the drain, etc etc.

If you take all the necessery steps and have a perfect vessel for the water and observe very closely you might be able to detect the coriolis force, but I wouldn't bet on it on your first attempt!
