Coast Kilmore Quay in Kilmore quay

15/05/2025: Set near picturesque thatched cottages, the exterior has the look of olden sea fairing times and the pub’s interior is nicely laid out with shining dark woods creating a pleasant visual scene. There were four of us with three small dogs and things we’re looking hopeful for a pleasant evening in a cosy old style pub. The entrance section to the building was busy with many people, however upon asking the bar attendant if our small dogs were ok we were told they were only allowed in the beer garden, which curiously was an area fortunately under cover and secure from external weather but which would probably be a miserable experience on a cold night. A group of friendly younger folk were enjoying their evening accompanied by their portable sound system which was a bit too loud for my tastes but I had no intention of spoiling their evening. The lad serving behind the bar however was quite different and seemed to be lacking in humour but to be fair was not rude. We had come for a pint of the black stuff which was good but I must say the looks we received on passing through the bar didn’t make me feel particularly welcome. Would I recommend this establishment? Well, judging by the evening entertainments they do it’s probably a good spot for those on an extended stay in the holiday season so perhaps my experience is not typical of what the establishment’s potential is.

12/05/2025: I've been down in kilmore Quay 100s of times and I'have never even given this pup a second glance It looks nothing special on the outside, but I went in and ordered some food and boy was I impressed with the food and plenty of things to look at while you're waiting for it, there's lots of maritime stuff to look at, the reason I'm only giving it a 4 star was because they toilets were in a right state especially the women's toilet absolutely i wasn't in there but the wife told me about it, will I go back definitely, food was a 5 star, and they staff were nice friendly locals very helpful, Update Went back again because the food was good and I wasn't disappointed top class food again
