What a beautiful spot! We had lunch outside with the beautiful view and enjoyed some excellent food!
The mussels are lovely and fresh.
Seafood pasta so tasty.
Monkfish stew with pasta was excellent
The Cannelloni was UNREAL! I'm already thinking when I can come back just for the Cannelloni. Don't hesitate, just have it.

Fab food, seafood pasta, Aubergine roll, roast chicken, crab cannoli all wonderful. Beautiful views on a sunny day. Desserts were good but limited. Out of a couple of things. The traffic is a bit mad, some people going way too fast. Maybe a need to write down orders as we had a few miscommunication😆
If you are looking for a perfect spot to enjoy a meal in West Cork, look no further than Hayes’ Bar & Kitchen in Glandore.
We recently stopped by and had a truly memorable experience.
The atmosphere is everything you want in a coastal restaurant: casual, comfortable, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can instantly relax, especially if you’re lucky enough to snag a table with a view on a sunny day—the scenery over the harbor is absolutely breathtaking.
The food, however, is the real star of the show. We were thoroughly impressed with both of our mains:
Seafood Pasta: This was, without exaggeration, the best I have ever had. The pasta was perfectly cooked and fresh, but the real magic was in the sauce. It was absolutely phenomenal, packed with deep, complex flavors that perfectly complemented the fresh seafood.
Crab & Salmon Stuffed Cannoli: My wife opted for this, and it was equally delicious. It was a sophisticated, expertly prepared dish that highlighted the quality of the local ingredients.
Beyond the food, the service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and efficient without feeling rushed. Whether you are a local or just passing through, Hayes’ is a fantastic choice that hits all the right notes for a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

A fantastic restaurant with a stunning view of the lake. The food was served quickly and was of very high quality. The portions were also excellent. The food is well worth the money. The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive.

Stopped off at Hayes Bar midway through a bike trip. Plan was for a swift Murphys but the aroma of fresh Moroccan lamb soup was irresistible and didn't disappoint. Will return for the great location, friendly staff and a whole menu to explore on my next visit
