A very enjoyable experience - due to family connections have been traveling to Dunbeg for years. Accommodation is located opposite the bar - number of apartments and access to a separate living room and kitchen - en suite double bedroom.
A family atmosphere - a relaxing break and well worth visit to the bar for proper Guinness.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner in Morrissey's on Saturday night. He had the crab claws which were delicious and surprisingly large portion. I had scampi which were so tasty and again a big portion size. The staff were lovely and efficient. You can't reserve a table and they take last orders at 21:30. It is very inviting and beautifully decorated. They totally deserve their Bib Gourmand award.

Had a super meal here last night. 37 women wanted to finish the kilkee season with good food and good wine The food was all served quickly and efficiently and was absolutely delicious. Our starters were smoked salmon, calamari, crab claws, mussels, and salad. Main courses were rib eye steak, scampi and chicken. All were delicious served with baked potato or chips, salad or veg and sauces. The staff were amazing and great thanks to the chef for feeding us all at the same time and to Elaine for making us all so welcome. Thanks for a super night.

Chowder was just what we needed after a walk on the cliffs. The weather and the sea were wild and we just got a table by the window. Food was delicious. Plenty to choose from and for the kiddies. Good value. Busy spot but will definitely return the next time we are in Kilkee.

Reviewed By Linerguy - Lawrenceburg, IN
Stopped in Kilkee on our way to the cliffs, Bridges of Ross, and Loop Head. After a walk around looking for somewhere to have lunch, we loved the way Hickie's looked on the outside, so we gave it a try. Sure glad we did.
First of all, the place just oozes coziness; very comfortable and inviting. Next, the service was just fine, and the food was very, very good.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience and we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

We stayed at the Trump hotel for 2 nights and ate here both nights. Highly recommend the corn fed chicken dish, burger, seafood pasta. (If you are used to American beef, probably don't order the steak- my husband ordered it but sent it back. Very tough. The server was very accommodating ) Still giving the restaurant 5 stars since all other food was amazing and the service great!!

We loved everything about the Ocean View - especially the view out the bay window of the Atlantic. Our breakfast was wonderful and included kale and strawberry healthy smoothies, an array of fresh sliced meats, fruits, and more. The service was excellent and they were very busy. The Irish locals are kind and wonderful. We loved everything about this resort!
