Naughton’s Steak & Seafood Bar is the cosy, quintessentially Irish spot that makes Kilkee feel like a discovery. It blends the charm of a family ran pub with the flavour of the Wild Atlantic Way — fresh seafood, warm lighting, and that unmistakable West Clare welcome. Think creamy seafood chowder after a cliff walk, perfectly cooked Sea Bass or an Irish steak dinner. The restaurant produces a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that makes guests feel like regulars from the moment they sit down.

When it comes to drinks, guest are welcomed by “Paddy” a traditional Irish barman, who takes great pride in his classic and well‑stocked bar, with beers, an extensive selection of wines, and the kind of proper Irish spirit that warms you right up after a breezy Atlantic evening if that’s though charm or liquid form.

Just steps from Kilkee Beach and the cliff walk; it’s the ideal place to anchor an evening in town. Travellers rave about the excellent service, the comprehensive menu, both in wine and cocktail list and the sense that guest are experiencing an authentic slice of coastal Ireland. It’s the kind of restaurant that is remembered long after the holiday ends.
