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.

Hickies Bar


Kilkee
12/08/2025: Really lovely place to stay. Excellent hotel, staff are brilliant. Very very central. Could not fault it. It's so central and the views are stunning.
01/08/2025: I was very happy with this hotel. It was in a great location in the centre of town with a view of the sea. I had a nice room with large windows and a comfortable bed. A quaint busy large dinner restaurant and bar, a great breakfast included. Parking is free on the streets. There is a wonderful large beach, a few steps from the hotel. A great place to stay if you’re visiting loop head lighthouse.

Stella Maris Hotel


Kilkee
05/08/2025: Only went for food and the food was lovely 👍
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!

Holly's Café


Kilkee
03/08/2025: Always seems to be closed or closing !
02/08/2025: My first time in Holly's, August Bank Holiday weekend. Amazing food !! The tiramisu was melting in my mouth. Cappuccino was one of the best I've ever had and despite being told by others it was expensive, I found it well worth the money. Don't leave Kilkee without calling into Holly's . Lovely staff, comfy and welcoming and above all, delicious 😋

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! ❤️

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!

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….

Happy Harbour


Kilkee
29/07/2025: A simple restaurant with very fine cuisine; we had a very good meal. The service was courteous and attentive.
03/05/2025: This business is “CASH ONLY” and have a sign on their window clearly stating such. This has been the case for many years - and still continues to be the case in 2025. Considering many people have been paying by card and contactless for many years now, I award this business 1 star. If you do not carry cash, you cannot purchase anything here
