Stopped in for lunch based on a tour recommendation. Not disappointed. The food was excellent, the seafood was fresh and the chief used minimal prep so you could appreciate the great taste of quality fare. A warm fire, a great wait staff, a Half pint(yes, need my wits about me for Left side driving) and a great lunch. Doesn't get... More

I go here with my family when on holidays in Clare, it's a great family run place with friendly atmosphere . Food is first class and there is a great choice of traditional Irish food. I am looking forward to my next meal there when we go to Clare in July . The price is higher than typical pub food... More

A stop at The Long Dock happened purely on the advice of the staff at the lighthouse. Over the course of the two trips that I've taken to the Emerald Isle every meal has been selected through the advice of the locals. They've never steered me wrong. The Long Dock was no exception. No corn beef and cabbage here, even... More

Loved the atmosphere in this traditional pub/restaurant. The menu was superb and yes it is on the pricey side but the food is amazing. Plenty of focus on seafood. Kids portions were huge while the adult portions were well sized too with plenty of veg and potatoes to accompany certain dishes. We really enjoyed our meal here and would have... More

This little restaurant has very good food but could do with reviewing it's prices. The service is good and friendly but they can get a little flusterd when they are busy. I would recomend but watch the prices.

our grandchildren love the earlybird menu and feel very grown up being able to eat in the restaurant. Lovely service from Mary, always accomodating. We will be back.

Have eaten here many a time. Simply because it's the only place in Carrigaholt to eat. I will NEVER return. Seated at tables so close together, it's uncomfortable not to mention uneven tables that move constantly and spill your drinks. The food is worse than average. Chips overlooked and cold. Food slapped up on cold plates. Can't understand why this... More

Just wanted to get rid of us so they could serve other people. I'm going elsewhere in future and making sure ALL... More

Stopped in here on a drive around the area with my Dad & niece. It was a lovely sunny day and the tables outside were full so we went inside and took a table near the bar. It was pretty busy the lads behind the bar looked to have it all under control. We got menus/ordered drinks right away and... More

I have eaten many times at the Long Dock, the food has always been good and the setting is wonderful. If there are any negatives I have found the staff to more business like than friendly, and you often have to que for a table and the seats are grabbed by the more assertive.
