The Long Dock Pub and Restaurant

We loved every bit of our experience at The Long Dock Pub, from the lovely and accommodating staff to the meatiest, freshest, and most delicate oysters we’ve ever tried! The seafood chowder was absolutely amazing, and the main dish was just as impressive. Another honorable mention goes to the Ros Cider from Cork — this apple–rhubarb cider was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too dry, wonderfully refreshing and delicious. All and all, I’d love to come back one day for more oysters and drink! Thanks for having us

Seafood heaven at The Long Dock! 🦐🦪 Fresh oysters, juicy garlic prawns, and crispy bread, absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the outdoor seating with our dog and a glass of rosé. Great food, lovely atmosphere, perfect for seafood lovers!

A serious foodie experience was served up at The Long Dock in Carrigaholt. Everything from the oysters to the seafood chowder and the main courses of freshly battered fish and chips as well as the beef stew were absolutely superb. Such a lovely warm and inviting pub restaurant with exceptional staff made this dining experience one to remember. Highly recommend a stop off here if you are visiting the area. They also have the best pint of the black stuff !

We had our wedding dinner at the Long Dock in September, after getting married at the lighthouse. It was such an absolutely fantastic experience thanks to Imelda and the rest of the team! Imelda and Tony made the entire wedding dinner process so easy from our initial meeting, and on our wedding the day, the food was absolutely wonderful, and the service was flawless. The place also has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and every one of our guests had an amazing time and an fantastic dinner. We can't recommend The Long Dock highly enough!

What a hoot this place is. Fantastic! A foodies dream. We walked in just after opening for lunch. Absolutely fantastic and the atmosphere and ambiance are no less. Just great.

A really good place to eat. TASTY ! Value on offer too. Extensive menu which is all done very well 👌 Great desserts and ice cream. This is one to make a detour for.

Nothing less than we expected from this charming rural pub on our peninsula visit. Great fresh fish and chicken, good local beers, and a cosy welcoming interior. The chowder was a touch on the salty side with a thicker texture, but still lovely if that’s how you like it. A lovely spot to warm up and enjoy some proper comfort food.

Everything we wanted from a small town visit. Great, I mean outstanding service, humble and perfect. The seafood chowder was absolutely scrumptious. We shared a bowl and then ordered another. It was that kind of good. Fish and chips and the surf and turf were also perfectly on point. Cheers to the staff and owners, you have a gem. 10 stars!

County Clare has its fair share of excellent seafood restaurants. This is a longstanding destination restaurant in a beautiful coastal village tha never disappoints! Great atmosphere and hospitality. Go!

Excellent seafood in an authentic setting. I've visited several times when in southwest Clare Well worth the drive.

This place is a real Find! The most sincere staff in a building from the 1800's. My Kids had the cod and Clam Chowder and loved them. I had Oysters abs Sirloin with the best boiled spuds. All great! The secret weapon is the ice cream Parlour out back. Just send the kids out to explore..... Kids ranked it 10/10 but they both had the salted Caramel. Original fireplace that in the winter would be a great spot for a pint and some oysters.

Great pub, great food and really friendly owners. We each had the chowder which was super loaded with fresh fish. We split the seafood platter. It's served cold with shrimp, prawns and smoked salmon. Sides of fresh salad, capers and onions and a tasty sauce for the shrimp and crab. Delicious food.

When my friend and I pedaled our bicycles into Carrigaholt we were hungry and tired after a long day of cycling. This little oasis provided the perfect respite. Attentive and friendly service, fresh food simply and wonderfully prepared, and at a price far below value. Outstanding in every respect.

My mother and I had lunch at the Long Dock in August of 2018. I had the chowder and she had the burger and fries. The service was fast and courteous, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, and the food was unbelievable. While Mom, was raving about the burger I sat in stunned silence over how good the chowder was. I live on an island on the west coast of Canada and eat seafood very frequently. I was so happy with the generous quantities of fish and shellfish in the chowder. I would go out of my way from Kilkee or even Kilrush to eat at the Long Dock again.

Had lunch here yesterday mid way through our cycle of the Loop Head Peninsula. Had the most amazing hake I had ever tasted, so fresh. Lovely menu with everything from standard fish & chips to crab and mussels. Also had had chicken & steak on the menu for anyone that does not like seafood. But seeing as the fish is literally caught on the doorstep it would be a shame not to sample it! Found the prices to be reasonable. Had lunch here as a group of 5, we each had a main course and coffee. The bill with a bottle of prosecco came to €123, which is not bad considering the standard of the food. Highly recommend a visit if you are in West Clare.

Awesome mussels and the cod was great too. We you randomly stop by this pub after visiting this small town. We saw people outside eating the mussels and seafood and it looked fantastic. The crab were great too. It took a wild to get our food but it was worth it. Inside you will see that they won many awards.

Highly recommended seafood restaurant in the little fishing town of Carrigaholt. It has earned some healthy praise from some pretty big names in the travel/lodging industry. We thought it was a cozy little pub with decent food but no better or worse than a thousand other little coastal pubs in Ireland. We were there in October (not tourist season) and sort of felt neglected by the two "servers" who spent most of their time talking to locals. We still enjoyed it because it was cozy and we just enjoyed each other and the food. Food was 4 star. Atmosphere was 4 star. Service attention was 2 stars. Selection was 3 stars. Price was about 3 stars. Biggest plus was it is the only restaurant open in the off-season between Kilkee and the point so it saves you a 20 minute drive if you are staying in Carrigaholt... and I do recommend staying in/near Carrigaholt. Three stars from me ain't bad at all.

Had dinner here with the family on Sunday. I had lamb it was perfect, children had the pasta dish . service was top class.also very friendly, we didn't have to wait long for it..
