Hickie's Bar in Kilkee

Absolutely delicious food 😊lovely atmosphere and really big portions 😊

Lovely place old charm mixed in the new .not to big just inviting. Food was lovely big portions but I'm suppose for the price .the only thing was the vegetables to my liking were not steamed enough very hard to even cut thought them .but overall I shall be back .we went here in the winter time and it was busy .I'm sure you will have to book ahead for summer cause the view's are just stunning off the bay..

We are a small family with roots in West Clare and regardless of what stage of the year you come down to the area, the Bay View consistently offers great food, great atmosphere and attentive staff. Everything a good family run hotel should be. Long may it continue!

We arrived at about 6pm on a Sunday night in November -- when most of the other restaurants in town were closed for the season -- to find a substantial crowd and several people waiting for tables. The very polite proprietor did a quick survey and suggested it might be as much as a 40 minute wait, but lacking other options, we settled at the bar. Fortunately, things moved more quickly and we were seated in about 15 minutes instead. Their menu follows the "gastro pub" model, with upscale versions of a lot of Irish standards . I had a bowl of chowder (very good), my wife had goat cheese crostini (excellent) and we shared a tiger prawn appetizer (also delicious). The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy on a chilly fall night. Overall, a win all around.

Amazing chowder and excellent service. Everyone was very kind and attentive. Would happily come again.

The fish soup could have been better seasoned. The curry was very tasty. The staff is friendly, but not very attentive. For example, I wasn't asked for another drink even though my glass had been empty for some time. We had to order it ourselves at the bar. Otherwise, a nice place.

Lovely atmosphere & good food -really enjoyed our meal. Staff were friendly also
