The best restaurants in Clonakilty

24/05/2026: We ended up at DeBarra's on a Monday evening via a travel guide. Every evening there is live music by local musicians. The atmosphere is intimate, and you can sit comfortably in front of the fireplace. Highly recommended.

15/05/2026: We stopped in with a small group for drinks, conversation and music. Loved the atmosphere and the music. If you want beer or booze, they have all the Irish choices. And the bartender, working alone, did a pretty amazing job of keeping up with a crowded bar room. Don't ask for a cocktail, though. They don't serve them.

05/07/2026: Very busy and popular spot. The food and service were excellent. The staff were very busy but had time for every one.

24/06/2026: Great fun. Memories made here that will last a lifetime. 😊

12/06/2026: 5* food and service. We had a delicious brunch (breakfast served until noon) in this family friendly spotlessly clean pub. Looking forward to returning.

30/05/2026: Delicious Food , Friendly Stuff, perfect atmosphere

12/06/2026: Great staff and nice atmosphere

13/05/2026: We sat in the sun and had a sour dough toasties. The BLT was really tasty. Great service.

21/12/2025: Not a place I would visit again staff dreadful could not care less about customers more interested in chatting to other staff not helpful only short of sleeping on till 😴 need a good manager

06/12/2025: Who would have thought a sausage roll could be so nice? The food is amazing and the service great.

07/06/2026: Really a lovely place! I enjoyed to have a beer before dinner during my stay in Clonakilty. A mixed crowd, a wonderful staff. Great!

05/06/2026: Maggie draper is the best bartender ever. Absolutely top-class bartender. Not only did they remember my drink order after the first round, but they somehow managed to understand my increasingly questionable explanations as the night went on. Their cocktail-making skills are so good that I briefly considered becoming a regular just to watch them work. Friendly, quick, and equipped with the patience of a saint, they kept the drinks flowing and the banter even better. If customer service were an Olympic sport, they’d be standing on the podium while the rest of us were still trying to find our tabs. Highly recommend—though they may have set my expectations for all future bartenders impossibly high.” 🍸😂

15/06/2026: Fabulous hotel with parking available right outside on our arrival! Lovely staff, wonderful room. Extremely comfortable with lots of lovely touches, wasn't expecting a gift upon check out! Wonderful location, close to town.

09/06/2026: Great location. We were concerned about parking but there was no issues. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Bed was very cosy, slept well. Food was average. Nice touch giving a candle at checkout. Would stay again.

08/06/2026: Gorgeous decor, fab menu and lots of space. A really lovely find in Clonakilty, we will be back!

29/05/2026: Great fry but a little pricey. €20 and didn't include tea or coffee and 1 slice of toast.

14/06/2026: Im really impressed with this hotel. The food is absoutely stunnning in the bar/bistro. The mushroom arancini starter, and black pudding gyoza were unbeilevable. Fish and chips was best ive ever had. Then desserts browine with salt and carmel, wow . 10/10 hats off to the chef and staff and extremely hard working staff. Well done guys ye are excellent. Spa and pool has been also top notch cant fault it ,sauna and hottub excellent .

06/06/2026: just returned from a 3 night stay with our Active Retired Club, lovely rooms and the food was absolutely brilliant. Staff could not do enough for everyone, couple of changes had to be made to rooms and it was done as fast as possible. Big thank you to all the staff at this hotel. Keep up the good service and fab food.!!

08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

24/05/2026: We had a very delicious dinner today at your restaurant. Incredibly tender fish, with a wonderful sauce, steamed broccoli and lightly crusted potatoes. I recommend it! The waiters are very pleasant, and the presentation of the dishes meets high standards. Thank you!

10/05/2026: Well what can I say,first of all we were greeted at the door very warmly,our server Danny was brilliant, made good recommendations a good crack but also professional in his job,starters had great presentation and flavours popped in your mouth,Main course again couldn't fault it,and dessert ,well,main course beat all but me,I had one,couldn't resist. Would highly recommend this establishment, booking though is a must..

07/07/2026: Small cosy resturant in Clonakilty town. Really good food n service is equally good. We ordered Cheese burger by mistake they were more than happy to change that for us.

23/06/2026: Great quality food at reasonable prices with excellent service. They have everything thing from gourmet lizza to noodles and seafood and pasta. Enough choice for all the family

16/05/2026: Best pizza in the county, if not in all of Ireland.

27/04/2026: Just dropped in with my nearly 13year old nephew for a bite and a chat, pizza was delicious and plenty but not too much, freshly made from scratch and quiet but looks like it is a popular spot

04/05/2026: Expert bakers of international delicacies! The bakery imports flour and butter from France, Germany, Italy, etc. to produce authentic tasting bread and pastries. Top marks for getting their efforts right. Clonakilty is lucky to have the Baking Emporium!

27/01/2026: Love it! Amazing croissants and good coffee
