Fantastic service and atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this gem if you’re walking the Cliffs of Kilkee.

Stella Maris Hotel
Kilkee
17/06/2025: We held our family reunion at Stella Maris in Kilkee in June 2025, with relatives joining us from all around the world. It was a large group, including many happy young children, and the team at Stella Maris couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating.
The food was absolutely delicious, with a full menu that offered something for everyone in our group. The quality was superb, and the variety ensured all tastes were catered for. The cocktail menu was extensive and expertly made, adding an extra touch of celebration to the occasion.
A special highlight was the personalized menu featuring a welcome message for our family reunion — such a thoughtful and meaningful gesture that truly made us feel at home.
We can’t thank the staff enough for helping make our reunion so memorable. Highly recommended!
16/06/2025: We ate in the restaurant, really good sea food and reasonable prices. Great staff and great cocktails.

Holly's Café
Kilkee
29/06/2025: It was just after lunch and we needed a break. Holly’s was close so we decided to drop by. It was pretty busy around town but we were lucky and found a spot just up the street. The front patio was very busy, it was a warm sunny day but we were easily able to find a table inside. We ordered an Americano, a cappuccino and a fruit scone. The young lady at the counter gave my a nice smile as I paid and my order arrived shortly there after. My cappuccino was good but the scone which came with jam and butter, while tasty was a touch over baked. All in all, we enjoyed the break and I think I’d go back again to give them a second go at the scone.
22/06/2025: Very good cafe, good snacks, very nice interior

O'Mara's Bar
Kilkee
12/06/2025: What an absolute gem of a spot! We stopped into O’Mara’s Bar in Kilkee and ended up having one of the best nights of our entire trip. This place is everything you want in a classic Irish pub—warm, welcoming, full of character, and absolutely buzzing with energy.
The real star of the show? Eugene, the owner. What a legend! He’s the kind of person who makes you feel like a local the second you walk in the door. Full of charm, stories, and unbeatable craic, Eugene brings the whole place to life. You’ll come in for a quiet pint and end up staying for hours, chatting, laughing, and maybe even singing along with a few tunes.
The pints were perfect, the atmosphere was unbeatable, and the sense of community was something really special. Whether you’re just passing through Kilkee or you’re lucky enough to live nearby, O’Mara’s is the kind of pub you’ll never forget.
We’ll 100% be back—and we’re bringing more friends with us next time!
09/05/2025: Loved O’Maras and Eugene is top! So kind and such a welcoming pub. And dog friendly! ❤️

Ali G
Kilkee
12/07/2025: Once a year I make my pilgrimage to the west of clare and every year I return to Ali G takeaway I don't think I've ever had a better meat feat pizza in my life. Ali G has made its way into my heart and will never be forgotten. When Jesus's resurrection occurred he did it for an Ali G kebab. Sound lads.
10/07/2025: Love this place great pizza excellent service

Hickies Bar
Kilkee
03/06/2025: With my adult daughter. I would love to stay again.
26/05/2025: We only had lunch at the Pub Restaurant of the Bayview Hotel. We both ordered Curry dishes: my wife the Vegan Curry and I had the Thai Chicken Curry. Both dishes were tasty but the Chicken one had nothing to do with Thai. It was more of an Indian Curry served with Naan (or an attempt to), chutney and rice. The dish was oddly also accompanied with french fries. The Cheesecake of the day was, as expected, Baileys but the taste was really subtle. Overall a good lunch.

Myles Creek Bar
Kilkee
17/06/2025: The food in the pub was delicious. The room was a decent size, but the shower could have a bit more water. Don't expect much from the breakfast! Plus, breakfast isn't served until 9:00 a.m.
12/05/2025: Absolutely smashing time for three British pensioners (1 Welsh, 1 Scot and a crossbreed English/scot.
Lunch and then dinner. Food grand, service grander. Recommended highly.

The Central Bar
Kilkee
26/04/2025: I can't judge the food, the service was good - but the four employees don't know much about good drinks. I had the worst espresso martini here. I also reported this, reaction...no. Too bad.
12/03/2025: Had a right good session with a nice crowd of locals who made me feel very welcome! What made it even better was that Ireland beat Wales!
Very nice Guinness, super friendly staff, and lots of em, so barely a seconds wait at the bar.
Good stuff, will be going back!

The Pantry
Kilkee
14/07/2025: Good food and coffee to start the day. Very friendly staff!
06/07/2025: Service was very mixed, not clear if I had to wait or sit and they would bring it down. We got the chicken sandwich, the goat cheese with added chicken, the OG and one of us made our own. The goats cheese was very sparse on the cheese and the OG was very skimpy on the meat. Food was brought out and the waiters didn’t know what the orders were. Overall overpriced including the coffee. I gave it 4 as there was a busker there who was quite good.
