Diamond Rocks Cafe
Kilkee
16/08/2025: We called at 11:35 that we would arrive by 12 and asked if we could still get breakfast then, as they serve breakfast until 12. They promised they would „keep an eye out for us“. So we skipped the breakfast option in the little town where we were. Then when we arrived at the till at 12:07 (we didn’t realise how long it takes to park in their tiny, overflowing parking spaces) they refused to serve us. Is that Irish hospitality?
13/08/2025: One of the best locations on the west coast of Ireland.
The food is superb n reasonably priced. This is a family run restaurant & now hosts wedding days. Post prandial go for a swim in one of the pollock holes ,- when the tide is ebbing or low.

Naughtons
Kilkee
29/08/2025: We had an excellent dinner at Naughton’s Bar in Kilkee. Our group of five showed up with one more than our reservation allowed, but Elaine handled it with ease and got us seated quickly without fuss. The service throughout the evening was prompt, friendly, and clearly well organized — the whole team is on point.
Before dinner we had the pleasure of chatting with Paddy Collins behind the bar. His knowledge of Kilkee’s history, his great personality, and his warm hospitality set the tone for the night. He’s a gem.
The food itself was absolutely delicious — starters and mains alike were top-notch, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Combine that with the very fair pricing and you get excellent value for money.
Naughton’s is truly a testament to what makes Kilkee special: great food, genuine people, and welcoming service. Big thanks to Elaine, Paddy, and the whole team for a wonderful evening. We’ll definitely be back!
28/08/2025: Arrived and it took 10 minutes for someone to take our food order (no biggy) the food was excellent I would recommend the burger. Nicest food in Kilkee. However when we were trying to leave (we understood we had our table for 2 hours) we struggled to find someone to get the bill from (for 5 mins) A waitress came over and asked us nicely to leave as she had another table coming in. We mentioned that we never got the bill and she apologised and left. 5 minutes later my grandfather goes up to the bar to pay the bill as still no sign of anyone dropping it to our table. After the bill is paid my grandfather returns to the table and briefly gathers his things (in his late 80s) before the manager comes over and asks us to leave again? Just left us with a sour taste in our mouths. I will of course be returning to naughtons as I have since I was a child with hopefully better communication between staff management and customers.

Myles Creek Bar
Kilkee
03/08/2025: Terrible service, 1 person doing drinks & taking payment. Not that busy but kitchen closed for 1/2 an hour.
Value for money - 5 chicken wings for €10.50, you wouldn't pay that in a 5 star restaurant. 1/2 a celery stick cut into 4 strips & nit even washed.
Would not recommend here to eat.
21/06/2025: We ordered fish&chips and chicken burger & chips. Very bland, did not taste much. Soggy and lukewarm chips. Sloppy leaves in the salad for the burger. Overpriced, not value for money. Service rather quick though and not rude as described by several others. But that is not reason enough to eat here….

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!

Hickie's Bar
Kilkee
29/08/2025: The service was excellent. Very friendly and not too intrusive. The food was delicious and plentiful. I would have liked to try dessert, but there wasn't enough room.
19/08/2025: Food was average at best. There were flies flying around the table and food throughout the meal. I told this directly to the waitress, who I guess pretended not to hear me?? Continued to battle flies the whole meal. We ordered mushroom risotto, said on the menu comes with spinach, came covered in arugula. We had four separate waiters/waitresses, which is ridiculous as it is, not one came to the table after our food was delivered. So we couldn’t even mention this to the staff. What an embarrassing display of customer service. Don’t come to this restaurant.
