12/10/2024: Dated but very central..oldie worldie....

26/08/2024: The sandwiches at The Pantry are hard to beat. Top-quality ingredients, generous portions and a wide variety of options. Their scones and carrot cake are also well worth trying. The only downside is a lack of indoor seating which surely is a bit of a must given the unpredictable weather on the west coast.

26/08/2024: I have been going to Kilkee for the last forty years, and The Pantry has gotten progressively bewildering in what it is trying to achieve. Back in the day, it was a thriving Café and bakery, serving cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, and delicious treats. They have changed a lot over the years, and the current layout doesn't do it justice. The majority of the space is taken up with what I assume is intended to be an Italian style Delhi, with displays of jams, wines, olive oils and pastas. This runs alongside a hot counter and baked goods stand, and a seperate coffee counter. This peculiar layout is entirely at the expense of adequate indoor seating, in the wilds of west clare. There are a handful of small tables inside the front door, and an outdoor seating area with no awning or umbrellas despite frequent heavy rain. The food is very good quality, but you are paying Café prices for essentially take-away food, which is served in single use plastic, even if you are eating "in", and the staff can be gruff. The Pantry gets away with this solely because of the lack of competition. Save your money and head for Beag in Kilrush.

26/10/2024: Stopped for lunch, great food and service ... Pity it is closing for the winter months.

18/10/2024: Nice food, good service, friendly staff nice ambience in the hotel & well situated in Kilkee, Co Clare

10/11/2024: We visited for a late lunch on our way from the Cliffs of Moher to Galway and it was a very pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was great, it was a truly the most authentic Irish experience we had in our 10 days here.

04/11/2024: Stumbled upon The Irish arms after a long day exploring the Burren having travelled up with the kids from Cork. Stopped on the way down from Aillwee Caves, and being honest, it was the first restaurant/bar we came across and had a big sign out saying that food was being served - so we stopped. The place was dead, like, very empty except one other table who left after us. Not sure what the other reviews mention about the service - the server, at least when we were there was really friendly. Service was quick, and efficient too however, this is really where it stops. The menu is quite limited, and the food was a little bland. It wasn't bad - but, I wouldn't say it was special. The turkey was very bland, dry (even drier than turkey usually is.) Kids chicken nuggets were obviously frozen, but generic frozen type. You could tell it went straight from a bag in the freezer to the fryer. The decor of the place is quite nice, traditional but you can tell its centred towards tourists, primarily those coming from America or visiting the Cliffs of Moher. We're sorry afterwards, because we seen other places serving food further down in the town. Unfortunately, we won't be back anytime soon.

24/09/2024: Just had coffee but it was lovely

15/09/2024: Lovely cosy hotel in a beautiful setting. Spotless comfortable rooms and amazing enthusiastic staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Great value for money. Lovely food. Good parking near the hotel. Great atmosphere in the bar at night with music. Would highly recommend this hotel.

28/09/2024: Great food but recent deliveries forgetting parts of the order.

06/06/2024: You might tell the delivery person driving the supermacs van to slow down through the town. Clipped my side mirror as I was parking on street and just drove on . Never even stopped.

06/10/2024: Paid two visits to this restaurant during a recent visit – for lunch and dinner. Both experiences were middle of the road, particularly the lunch menu – the avocado & bacon on toast was way wide of the mark in every respect. In reality, the restaurant is at about the level of the fare one typically finds at well-established golf clubs, but way over-priced.

02/09/2024: From the day of booking , to the actual night of our dinner , the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was fantastic and catered for all of our group of 10 people. Wonderful wines to choose from , and , as it was a birthday celebration , they allowed us to bring a cake which they brought out after the mains and made a lovely fuss of the birthday boy. Could not recommend it highly enough. Thank you to all the staff that looked after us on Saturday 31st August.

06/10/2024: I used to really like this restaurant but it's gone down hill. Portions small for prices. I had the smallest sized fish tacos ever , and food wasn't great tbh. Chinese dumplings were inedible. They need to change menu and prices .

25/09/2024: A lovely spot to grab a bite to eat. In a very handy location as you get to watch the waves. Food was excellent and the staff were lovely and quick!
