Set near picturesque thatched cottages, the exterior has the look of olden sea fairing times and the pub’s interior is nicely laid out with shining dark woods creating a pleasant visual scene. There were four of us with three small dogs and things we’re looking hopeful for a pleasant evening in a cosy old style pub.
The entrance section to the building was busy with many people, however upon asking the bar attendant if our small dogs were ok we were told they were only allowed in the beer garden, which curiously was an area fortunately under cover and secure from external weather but which would probably be a miserable experience on a cold night. A group of friendly younger folk were enjoying their evening accompanied by their portable sound system which was a bit too loud for my tastes but I had no intention of spoiling their evening.
The lad serving behind the bar however was quite different and seemed to be lacking in humour but to be fair was not rude. We had come for a pint of the black stuff which was good but I must say the looks we received on passing through the bar didn’t make me feel particularly welcome.
Would I recommend this establishment? Well, judging by the evening entertainments they do it’s probably a good spot for those on an extended stay in the holiday season so perhaps my experience is not typical of what the establishment’s...
Read moreFour of us had food here the other day.I really enjoyed my trio of fish.It was so fresh.The others thought the food was just ok,except the chowder which was described as poor.

Because of the barman and the quality of the food we had something to eat elsewhere. While the same price,the food was much better.The place is fine for a pint and a chat with the staff(the friendly ones) but Im sorry we forked out over €200 for food and drinks when we would have gotten...
Read moreKehoes pub is a real little gem. An excellent setting for a nice relaxed pint with a nice homely Irish atmosphere or a good feed in the covered dining area out back. The staff are extremely welcoming and explained the daily specials clearly offering good advice on what is popular and a proven speciality. The ability to take an order for 8 drinks and get them spot on first time was impressive. The range of food on the menu has something for all tastes but the seafood options stand out and didn't disappoint! Half portions for hungry children were very generous and the same care in presentation for child and adult alike is to be commended. A lovely dining experience and delicious desserts to top it off. For any visitors to the beautiful Kilmore Quay looking for a great location to enjoy good food and a quality Irish atmosphere Kehoes is a must.
