For an increasing number of premises food is a vital component of the bar trade. But proper service of food requires training, expertise, quality ingredients and, above all, dedication. Award winning bar, Casey's of Baltimore, is leading the charge offering customers exceptional food, freshly prepared and at the right price, visitors to West Cork and discovered a wonderful culinary experience in tranquil surroundings.
Caseys of Baltimore serves exceptional food and is committed to quality, local ingredients and, as such, is one of Ireland's leading licensed premises.
Resting right on the coast of West Cork, just a few miles from the thriving market town of Skibbereen, Baltimore, and in many respects Casey's, is one of west Ireland's best kept secrets. Rich in fishing stock, a diving and snorkelling haven - thanks to its unpolluted and clear waters - and a hotspot for sailing enthusiasts, local customers and regular tourists alike know that no visit to Baltimore is complete without a bowl of Casey's renowned seafood chowder, served with delicious homemade brown bread, or a fresh crab- meat sandwich accompanied by a bowl of mouthwatering homemade chips.
Established by Ann and Michael Casey in 1975, the bar was originally a small country pub. It quickly established reputation for excellent food has resulted in a number of extension projects over the years and today Casey's of Baltimore is a renowned seafood restaurant and, or course, an idyllic Irish bar serving perfect fare.
Not surprising due to its location Caseys specialises in Local West Cork Seafood, but unusually the bar has been doing so now for over 40 years.
'Bars just didn't serve food back then, so we were a little shocked when it worked. We started offering more seafood dishes and we included "lobster at the bar" . The recipes we use today are still the same.
Bar customers can also enjoy specialties of the house such as Whole Prawns with homemade brown bread or a Seafood Platter or a large bowl of Roaring Water Bay Mussels with homemade chips.
Looking to the future, Casey's recently started farming their own organic vegetables . "We're very attracted to the idea that the majority of ingredients served at Casey's of Baltimore is produced either by us, or sourced from local suppliers that we know, 'the quality of local produce is second to none, and that's reflected in the incredible flavour of our food. We're constantly reviewing the quality of the produce we serve and we're proud of our reputation for quality homemade food".
Loved our stay here, beautiful beers brewed on site as well. The food was fantastic, with the breakfast being a big highlight, I'll be dreaming of those scones for a while to come ��

Just back from a wonder 2night stay at Casey's of Baltimore! Everything about Casey's was wonderful from the moment we stepped through the door to leaving!! Room was spotlessly clean, bathroom looked brand new & spacious. Breakfast both mornings was 10 out of 10. Ate dinner both nights in the hotel fish(haddock)& chips with side salad absolutely gorgeous so much so I had it again on the second night. Staff were very attentive polite & very efficient. Highly recommended staying here!! Thanks to you all at Casey's hopefully we'll be back again!

Absolutely a lovely family run hotel. Have stayed here twice in the past six and both great experiences. I very much enjoyed the breakfast. Fresh orange juice, cheeses + ham and smoked mackerel, very tasty. They also have a mirror brewery and the 'Sherkin Lass' is ��

We love this place, it’s the nicest to stay in the area. We had a room in the lodge which was spacious, bright, like new , very quiet and absolutely spotless. The food is fantastic- from the complimentary scones and huge breakfast to the top notch sea food options for lunch and dinner. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. It’s just great to spend the evening in the bar and chat to the locals. The in-house brewery is worth a tour and Terra is a very passionate and knowledgeable brewer who will answer all your questions. We also got to try the different beers. Overall a fantastic stay and we can’t wait to come back again soon!

We had a terrific meal here on a visit to Baltimore. The food was fresh and tasted home made. The fish pie was fantastic and the stew was wonderful. The staff were very nice, friendly and personable.

Stayed a night, it was so good we stayed another. The place is fantastic, cosy, warm. And the staff are great, welcoming and helpful. Food is some of the best food we have tasted on our trip so far.

Walking home after our meal and sampling the home brew from the on-site West Cork Brewery was just what we needed as we were comfortably stuffed with the large, delicious portions of the freshest seafood around, not to mention the home brew..

Crab and prawn starter was very tasty and four of us had tempura of prawn starter as a main course. This was generous in size and really well cooked.
