Fried Mice, Fish Tacos & wine. Perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Great food, great view, top restaurant (y)
U guys would have a great night if myself and a coupla mates that know what's goin on got together with Angus Diggs played some JAZZy tunes
It was so beautiful and a great place
Gorgeous place, always love it x
Best chips I've had hands down!!
i have never been dissapointed with Clancy's. Always good food with good ocean view.
It can get really busy, but if you can find an odd time in the afternoon to order some drinks and snacks it can actually become peaceful.
Staff are always so great and friendly here.
Definitely recommend.

Clancy’s is a busy quirky bar and restaurant right on the beach at City Beach. Family and pet friendly, and quite lively, there are many tables overlooking the beach and ocean. Clancy’s don’t take bookings, but we were seated fairly quickly on a Friday night, at a window table with high seats.
Returned here recently. Take off $10pp for the view and you have good food, well presented and great, friendly staff and service. You can now order your drinks, condiments or call a waiter from tablet devices at each table. Great concept for those of us who go nuts trying to get the attention of wait staff.

We checked and yeah, fish is the genuine thing. Not dodgy imported stuff. Great local beers on tap. Deep fried squid, fish burger, mice and fried broccoli were all perfect.
..
We liked the buzzy atmosphere and loved the view. Was worth the $20😊
In all honesty, for food alone I would rate this place 3/5, as essentially it’s a glorified, perhaps slightly overpriced pub feed wrapped in tacky beach-themed packaging.
The great, friendly service we received, along with of course the view, bumped it up to a 4.
I was happy with all of the food. I had the paella, and all the seafood in it was cooked well.
Would recommend for a casual lunch by the beach.
Popped in here recently for a lunch meal with the boss. Food is always fresh and tasty, but a bit overpriced for what you get. I suppose your paying for the view, but still enjoy the experience. Good wine selection and service also, but can get busy, so pick your time to visit wisely.
3.5 rating.
came in on a friday afternoon for a late lunch. we were welcomed and had our orders taken by friendly staff. once the food was served however, it was really hard to get anyone’s attention to ask for things (sauce, more drinks etc) despite there being plenty of staff walking around.
food came within a reasonable amount of time of about 20 minutes after placing our orders. the 4 of us shared the seafood platter and a plate of fish and chips. everything was cooked well, but the highlights were the fried squid and the fried fish.
overall it was a very expensive meal ($140 for the food, 2 beers and a soft drink), but it was reasonable with 25% odd with the Entertainment book voucher. the food was just good, but the view is amazing, hence the high prices. worth a try at least once!
Great food. Lovely service. Amazing view-what’s not to love!
Must be a lover of seafood though, as there are only a couple of dishes that aren’t fish/seafood
Will definitely be going returning to dine again
Had a great experience at Clancy’s. Restaurant was busy as it was the lunch time rush but the food was served promptly and was very tasty. We had the snapper and chips and the fish tacos. No complaints about either meal. View was amazing!
Came here with a group of five for dinner. We had the seafood platter x2 and additional chilling mussels. We were able to walk straight in and ordered our food and drinks. The portion was very generous. Standout was the tiger Prawns and Chilli mussels. Service was very quick and staff very friendly. The view of the ocean is just breathtaking. All of the food was fresh and delicious. After going to applecross branch, I much prefer this city Beach branch for ocean view and casual vibe. I also used my entertainment book voucher and saved $40. Great value for money, just $40 per person including beer and sparking water. Can't wait to go back again - highly recommend for a nice view, delicious food and great service.
My partner and i shared a seafood platter for two, it was fantastic, more than enough food for us.
Grilled fish, loads of chilli mussels and a huge serving of fried calamari, a genrous basket of chips, bbq king prawns, some cold marinated octopus and garden salad side.
The fish was very fresh and tasty, the squid was a touch oily but well seasoned and everything else was above expectation, would get again for sure!
The food was well cooked, well presented, very tasty and came without any long wait. Our overseas guest commented on the high quality of the garnishes and was tempted to ask for the recipe.. We thoroughly enjoyed dining here. The service by all staff was excellent, cheerful, efficient and nothing was to much trouble for them, most impressed. Plenty of free parking. Would happily dine here again.
Been here a few times and absolutely love it. The fish and chips, although pricey, is well worth it for the delicious fish, interior and views of this place. The fried squid was also super good with the mayo and kimchi.
Good first impression.
Came here on a cold breezy Friday night, easily found a table.
Ordered the platter for two, and wow, it did not disappoint myself or mate.
Highlight was the Shark Bay prawn, large, juicy and grilled to perfection. So much so my friend recommended to the waitress to include it on menu as separate dish.
The chilli mussels were sublime too with flavour and spice.
The fried calamari again crispy and not rubbery.
Will bring family back to sample more of the menu. The restaurant is part of a recently redeveloped beachside precinct. It is right on the beach, thus great views can be had during daytime.
I ordered quiet a few different items from the menu. One was the seafood platter and had the tastiest king prawns I’ve ever had in my life. The only trouble is that you can’t order them alone. The service was great and awesome atmosphere

We had a lovely night here last night for a birthday gathering. There were 15 of us and we had a long table by the live music, which was great! The service was faultless given how many ppl were there. We had drinks and water all round in no time. They managed our order and had our meals served in great time. Over the sunset we downed a nice bottle or 2 of wine and had some desserts after a good meal. I had fried mice (HOT!) and fried feta. He had the burramundi (nothing to write home about but nice, apparently), she had the seafood paella (not a huge amount of seafood but lots of chorizo) and little missy had the chicken and chips (a bit dry). Waffles (nice but would be good to offer lactose free ice cream), panacotta and kids ice cream (yummy) all round. Reasonable cost for the view and the location. Granny paid $55 for a main, a dessert and a glass of wine. I’d say for an event like ours it was a good choice. As they say “sandy feet and thongs are welcome” so maybe not for your spesh night out!
Very friendly staff, nice surroundings & a great view of the sunset over the ocean. We had the paella & it was great. A tad on the expensive side, but I’ll come back
Went to Clancys as a walk in for lunch.
We all had fish and chips 2 battered and 2 grilled.
The food was very nice, decent serves and very tasty.
The salad with the fish dishes were nice too.. nit just a garnish.
The place looks cool.. nice atmosphere.. like a beach shack but more upmarket.
The only downside was that the dishes were a little too expensive for what they were.
Otherwise a very enjoyable experience
I've been here multiple times, I love this place. The location is just perfect! The staff are friendly and attentive. The menu is great.. although I'm upset they've stopped selling the Feta Fingers! They were amazing! The fish tacos are yummy, fried squid is great! A good selection of beverages also. The food comes out quickly. The decor is funky! Such a cool vibe.
Redeeming features: black bun, crispy nuts and the jazz trio at NINE A.M. This salmon dish was perfect and filling. Sunday mornings are super busy with big wait times, thought the staff are patient and friendly. Also, if you don't care for the kids/pets vibe, this place might be a challenge.
Had lunch here today, and the food was delicious, incredible view, nice atmosphere, friendly staff! Prices quite high, but I guess you pay for the view.
Absolutely love this place. Service is always prompt and friendly, and the food delicious. Especially the barramundi. It's a family favourite.
Great family restaurant delivering consistently great food. Wide selection on menu even for people that aren't fans of seafood. Excellent seating options and very family friendly for early diners! Kitchen is open all day which means you can have a 430/5pm dinner for families!
This has fast become my favorite Clancy's in Perth. Great quality food and beer selection with amazing beach views. They are also very good at managing good service even when flat out busy.
Great place! The veiws are amazing and the service awesome. The food was pretty good, I just thought the squid the wife ordered come come with a salad or side of some sort. Also $24 for fish and chips, I would like to see 2 pieces of fish. Great beer list too.
Good grub, chilled atmosphere with magnificent views!
We had dinner here on a Saturday night and given the beach was packed after a 37 degree day, I was worried we'd be waiting hours for a table. But the friendly staff was organized and efficient, and despite a full house when we walked in, got us a table in less than 10min. Just in time to watch the sunset!
Good food given price and most serving sizes were quite large including seafood platter and the paella. The squid ink pasta was a bit small for the guys but definitely ok if ur a smaller eater.
Went there Friday night. Really busy and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Great casual atmosphere & service. Had fish and chips, grilled barra and chips and garden salad. Everything was well done and the grilled fish was done really nicely. Desserts afterwards - kids ice creams and the ice cream sandwich - were ok. Overall a very positive experience and this is a place we'll keep returning to.
Initially went to the fishpub for lunch but it was super busy and we were told there was a 30 min wait. Went around to the other side of the building to Clancy's café instead and got a great seat immediately - had the fish tacos which were the same as on the fishpub menu. These were delicious and if you're only after the "small bites" menu then the café is definitely the better option. Despite being classed as a smaller dish, got 3 tacos in the serve which was a solid meal for one. Will go back.

Love Clancy's! Came on Sunday morning after it was too windy to sit on the beach and it was buzzing, loved hearing and seeing the live jazz band they had, great surprise! Sat out in the cafe area and ordered two smoothies, a coffee and a breakfast pie. Orders came out quite quickly considering how busy it was and the drinks were really nice, breakfast pie not heated well enough but still enjoyed. Such a great local to pop down to, great that it's dog friendly and always has a fab vibe with friendly staff!
Really vibing Clancy's Citybeach. I had only been to the Fremantle one. Ideal location and ambiance. Beautiful coffee and really friendly service! Would love to come for a burger, chips and cider one arvo.
Nice brekkie and chilled out customer service. Enjoyed a casual brekkie with good coffee, warmth and a beautiful view. Staff were polite, friendly and attentive without being obtrusive.
Seafood platter has everything you want - we normally ask for grilled fish instead of the battered.
Try their dessert platter too!
Reasonable price with good sized meals.
We had a great experience here today. Phoned during the week and told we couldn't book, we arrived with twelve family members this afternoon and in five minutes we had a table.
Food was great, atmosphere relaxed and staff were awesome. Very refreshing to see good old fashion friendly service..... We all sat, relaxed and enjoyed for four hours and no one rushed us and we were waited on the entire time !!!! Thanks for a great day 🌟🌟🌟
Amazing location and service makes this my favorite place to take visitors from out of town. Never fails to impress. Average food but i think they get by because of the views and good service. Chili mussels were very average, not enough flavor and lacking a punch. Calamari rings were good. Fish and chips are just fish and chips really, not far from your regular corner fish shop. Fried mice will blow your brains out....but they are still worth having.
We love Clancy's for an easy date night dinner, it would also be great for a pub lunch with mates. We order the Fried Mice (stuffed jalapeños) and live to regret it th next day every single time! You've got to try them ;) The grilled Barra is another go-to. Love the relaxed vibe, plenty of craft beers and decent wine list.
Im glad they have a new menu, the staff have seem to have a new lease on life too! Wonder of its because of the new neighbours?
Im looking forward to trying it all, yesterday we had a few of the old favourites and a few of the newbies...good stuff. Keep working hard guys...if you're reading this (management) please move or hide the stinky bins away from the front door. Its gross
We used to visit here regularly a year or so ago but something happened not sure if new management or chef and it went massively down hill. We decided to return last week for an early dinner and to watch the sunset. We had an awesome waiter who was very helpful and gave us great seats by the window. The food was delicious, I don't eat much seafood but went against my normal choices and got the fish tacos - 1 word to describe them DEVINE! The menu has improved immensely since our last visit and we are sure to return in the future. The service was great all night and when we left our waiter made a point of coming to us as we were leaving and wishing us a good night. Fish Tacos all round!
Located right on City beach, Clancy's offer an amazing view - especially at the golden hour of the sunset. They have a great selection of drinks and they make a pretty great white wine sangria. However staff aren't as attentive and service is often quiet slow as they section off areas. The food portions are pretty decent for what you pay, and of course the seafood is pretty excellent.
Both the restaurant & cafe are lovely. Friendly service & fresh food. I've eaten a lot here & have tried most of the menu. I like that it changes with the seasons. My favourites over the years has been the breakie wrap, fruit smoothie, squid bites, nachos & chips! A good selection of beers & wines, the only downside is service can be hit & miss on certain days, and some of the dishes are waaaay over priced, but thats typical Perth. Plus that view of the sunsets kinda makes up for it :)
A for being on the beach with a relaxed atmosphere. You can grab a coffee here with your wet patched cloting from just having a swim..no sweat totally ok.
Breakfast was good today had the Portobello's , long mac and a berry smoothie. It was perfect, light and non greasy.Fast service too , have been there before during busy lunch period and its definitely the quickest service in history 👍.
One place I'll always have as an option for a relaxing breakfast on the beach.
Clancys has a lovely family atmosphere with a fantastic view. Nothing pretentious here, great quality food at decent prices for the location. Amazing views of the beach from most tables. Service was exceptional with waitress able to recommend wines that complemented our dishes.
Well worth a visit, the chicken is divine. Wife highly recommends the octopus and children loved the fetta fingers.
Would definitely come again
You have to try the Poached Prawn Salad - Asian style. Really tasty. Really nice staff, nice scenery with a view over the beach and ocean.
After a late swim it's pretty nice to head to clancy's for fish and chips. Had the beer battered fish, chips and salad. Really decent portion and the fish was nicely battered. The chips were the usual Aussie frozen ones but I expect that now. Service was pretty good too, would come again.
Best coffee & brownie combo in City Beach. Just sitting in the outside area watching the surf & pretty girls parade past, my idea of a perfect break.
Inside in the Fish cafe itself is a bit more cosy, the food is ok without being mind blowing, simple fare like calamari or fish & chips, a bit greasy for mine but friendly staff & a great beer & wine menu, what else is there.

After returning from a week in the Gold Coast and experiencing some pretty horrendous meals and service the boyfriend and I and our plus one decided to hit Clancy's for some much needed WA sunset and seafood. It did not disappoint!
We arrived to a packed restaurant with a line.... this usually has me tottering straight back out the door again! However we are now pro's at lining up after the Gold Coast debacle and I reckon we could almost qualify as Buddhist Monks. Patience rating a solid 10.
I'm glad we did as a lovely waitperson greeted us with a smile, took our name's and we happily joined another line to order a drink to have in the waiting area. The next waitperson was clearly a little stressed and fumbling probably due to my order of a Clancy's Negroni- not the usual order of a beer or wine I'm guessing. She pulled it off with a smile after i gave her a quick reassuring, its ok, take your your time look- i'm a nice one!
We took our seats and our drinks arrived quickly, Matzo's Ginger Beer, Little Creatures Pale Ale (on tap!) and my Clancy's Negroni.... super strong- excellent.
Not long after we scored a sweet little table for three overlooking City Beach to watch the epic WA sunset unfold. We ordered Salmon Ceviche, Morrocan spiced Calamari and Beef Tataki to share for Entree.
Salmon ceviche was beautiful, could have done with a little more acidity and more on the plate but I was happy considering how much I love Ceviche. The Beef Tataki flavours were excellent, could have been more rare though. The squid was absolutely perfect! So fresh and perfectly cooked- tasted like the squid we were catching up north out of Coral Bay and cooking ourselves- could not fault it.
For mains our friend had the Sirloin, I had the Pork Belly with Octopus and the boyfriend had the Jamaican jerk spiced chicken. Apart from the jus on the sirloin being a bit salty and a bit too reduced, everything was divine! So fresh and delicious. A few more drinks and one sunset later and we left as very happy customers!
Great casual atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, beautiful view!
Cheers Clancy's!
Stunning view.Promptly met at the door. Waiter took drinks order and starter. Starter arrived before wine (less .5) . Good starter- Camembert infused with rosemary. Main course - fish and chips and Barramundi. Cooked to perfection. Batter on fish was perfect and not oily.Good portions. Waiter was attentive and understood the menu. Wine list was extensive, but a bit pricey. Menu was good value. We have found a little place at the beach.
Made a visit for dinner - it's a great location right on City Beach. Our table of six was served meals less than 10 minutes after ordering, pretty good fish and chips all round. The bar has a good range of drinks - well, we are into the summer months!
Good fish and chips if you're hankering for a nice view and choices of beer. Prompt service, seated soon after we arrived and food was out in 10 minutes. Very noisy while the restaurant was full.
Pleasant experience overall.
I came here after a beach session and enjoyed it. The Hulk (apple, lemon and kale) juice was super refreshing and delicious! I had the seafood platter for one. It was not bad. I liked it however chilli mussels weren't very chilli or had much flavour. The salt and pepper calamari was good flavour but I felt like i was going to choke a few times on the finely fried parts. Restaurant with a good view :)
love it here! the food is consistently good and i love the stowford press cider. the seafood platter, the feta fingers, the fish tacos, the squid rings, the asian beef are all among my favourite things there to eat... in general the staff are friendly for a chilled beach pub, and the view is gorgeous - i keep coming back again and again! :) thanks guys!

I have never written a review before but I feel like I have to now because of the outstanding service me and my friends received today. I feel bad for forgetting to tip at the end because things got hectic with us sorting out tickets for an event. I'll be sure to revisit and find the same sweet waitress with the big glasses and tip her.
Our friend was leaving forever interstate and we decided to randomly meet up at the fish bar on our last day with him. Me and one of the guys spontaneously decided to ask the waitress if they could do something sweet for him (covertly). I half expected her to say there isn't much they can do since it's not like it's his birthday and farewells are unusual to have restaurants do things for. But she was so sweet and made sure she knew which friend was the right one and said she will make sure he feels very special. A dessert rocks up (not the chocolate brûlée he ordered, but an apple crumble one with cotton floss on it) and she hilariously does a little entrance for him making him feel extremely special and giving us all a good laugh.
He really wanted the choc brûlée and I'm not sure how we got a different dessert. It ended up being on the house which was an unexpected plus. I personally loved all their desserts. However none of us could finish the apple crumble as we were so full and wanted to save space in our stomachs for the choc brûlée. I look forward to returning. From start to finish the service was the highlight and the food and drinks were so nice too. The service just kept making everything better so I'm not sure if I'm being biased :P thank you guys for an unexpectedly spectacular day! You have won over a new fan.
Myself and a few work colleagues had a very enjoyable 'work dinner' here tonight. The food was great and the service was excellent. A special shoutout to our very patient waitress (sorry, I didn't catch your name if you read this) who really got in on our fried mice joke after we took what seemed like forever to order. It made for a lot of laughs and I have no doubts that our two bosses from overseas will remember tonight's experience well. Keep up the great work, we'll be back!
Drove into City Beach after spending a day at Caversham Park with wife & toddler and felt really pleasant with the ambiance inside. Although finding a parking spot was difficult due to the Friday evening rush still our order was served quite promptly. Being vegetarians also did not pose much of a problem and we had a delicious veggie kabab (can't remember the name) along with cranberry juice!
Spent sometime outside sitting in the green watching the sunset bringing an end to a wonderful evening.

The weather was simply stunning so we decided to spend our afternoon at City Beach to enjoy the sunshine, incredible views and the best beach bar- Clancy’s Fish Bar. Clancy’s is located right on the beach front with the most amazing panoramic views of City Beach. We were seated at a tall, round bar bench so even though we were right at the front, we had a perfect view of the sun, sand and surf. Although the outside view is spectacular, the interior is equally incredible. Our drink orders were taken almost instantly so that we could enjoy a crisp and cold wine/beer while we were deciding on what to eat. The menu was extensive and everything sounded delicious. I watched a few orders come out prior to placing my order and everything looked impressive, so I wasn’t too worried about my choice. Our friends ordered the grilled fish and chips and the fish tacos for their main, the American also chose the battered fish tacos which came served on a soft tortilla, tomato, corn & coriander salsa, chipotle, lime and sour cream. Of course, I couldn’t decide! I was torn between the warm octopus salad and poached lime chicken salad. I asked the waiter for his recommendation and he straight away suggested the lime poached chicken salad which was tossed with soba noodles, peanuts, tatsoi, shoots, snow peas with a dressing of ginger and soy sauce. The boys decided to share a few entrees also. They chose the baked corn, jalapeño & cheese dip served with corn chips and the Clancy’s specialty – Fried Mice, which was panko crumbed jalapeños served with salsa and sour cream. The meals came out in a timely fashion, all looking equally delicious. The portions were massive- the $15 fish tacos came as a trio and my salad bowl was as big as a serving dish! Eve

Very good. This place was suggested to me by my work mate. He had previously been here. I was quite keen on it as it is fairly close to my place and an old school mate, who we were catching up with, was back in town and wanted somewhere on the coast.
It was a Tuesday night and the place was fairly busy, which took me by surprise. We did get a table straight away however and were asked for drinks. We were asked not too long after if we were ready to order but being old school mates, we had been catching up and hadn't even looked at the menu.
Once we decided, we got the attention of a waitperson and ordered. The meals came out fairly quickly. The size of the mains took me by surprise. I had ordered fried mice, as I love jalapeños but the serving of the fish and chips was large. If I had ordered that on its own I would have been right but with the fried mice, I struggled towards the end of my main. The fish was very good. I'm very fussy when it comes to fish but I'm familiar with the NZ fish they use, Hoki.
My friends all finished their meals and mentioned how good they were too.
Good casual atmosphere, as we all commented on that a number times.
Pricing I felt was pretty good. Mine came to a bit over $40 for a bourbon, fried mice entree and fish and chips main. Everyone else's was less than mine and in the mid $30s ranged.
Will certainly be a place we return to.
New favourite. Cannot believe I haven't been here before! The fish tacos and corn dip were the highlight for me, full of texture and flavour. Fresh oysters but really small.
They also make a mean Bloody Mary!
Must do brekkie. This is the place for brekkie and coffee on Sat or Sun. Million dollar views, sit outside for a laid back start to the day. Head down to the beach for a swim after. Coffee always hits the mark. Get there early or you will be waiting in line for a while.

Fabulous location and views not hugely fantastic food. Hit and miss with us, we've had some good meals and some disappointing. My main disappointment is that the fish and chips isn't served with any salad or veg when we visited? Just a piece of fried fish and chips on a plate...I expected something a bit more fancy for an expensive reputable restaurant.
Take your bathers for the kids if you're planning an early dinner with the family :-) The restaurant is a stones throw away from a gorgeous family friendly beach.
Location. Went for lunch midweek. Had a great seat by the window. The food was okay, I ordered what I thought was a "lunch" salad after discussing it with the waiter, but it turned out to be a side salad! Will go back again because of the location.
Quick and easy. We decided to drop past in the middle of a storm for Sunday lunch expecting it to be quiet... It was packed but we were told it would only be a short wait and it was. We kept the order simple and stuck to fish and chips and mussels which arrived quickly only a few minutes after the drinks. On such a busy day we managed to get a table on the window which was perfect for watching the storm roll past. The kids were happy with the vanilla choc chip icecream. We will probably be back simply because it was so quick and easy.
Winter wonderland. My wife and I enjoy watching stormy weather and Clancys is the perfect location with huge waves rolling fast and furious into the beach. Who needs TV when the beauty of mother nature is at our door step!!!!! Mulled wine accompanied by tasty treats equals a Perfect afternoon!
About time. Refreshing changes at City Beach. Giving our beloved Clancy's another go we discovered that, gone is the expensive menu of old and now back is the food that Clancy's team do sooo well. We sampled the baked jalapeno dip, chicken parfait and chorizo/olive tasting plate which had the most amazing stuffed artichoke hearts. We also agreed the staff seemed more enthusiastic, upbeat and thank god customer focused. Has there been a change in management??? We will be back very soon.
If you are going to try one dish, it must be the "fried mice". Deep fried stuffed jalapeños on a fresh salsa with sour cream, they are the best fried jalapeños I have had yet in perth!
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Overpriced yum yums. Let's be honest, everyone within a 5-10km radius of City Beach has a good amount of disposable income. So it only makes sense that Clancy's would charge exorbitant prices. It is good business acumen by Clancy. Has anyone ever met Clancy?
I don't think this place deserves it's lowly rating percentage. A few weeks ago I came here for breakfast, still quite drunk and barely able to communicate my order to the waitress. English was not her first language but she persisted with us all despite our lack of decorum. In Mexico I would have been shot for such insolence.
For some unfathomable reason I ordered the yoghurt and muesli, accompanied by my standard iced coffee.
The ice coffee came with ice-cream which is always a delightful surprise and I downed it in a matter of minutes. It was good but not the best I've had.
I really battled through the muesli which was more my fault than anything else. Everyone else got bacon and eggs.
The views at Clancy's are breath taking. It was nice to be able to look out at the new drum lines and envision myself being mauled by a school of tiger sharks. I find it funny they don't have shark on the menu, maybe we tip the scales back in our favour by chowing down on some great white burgers.
Being able to frolick at the waters edge post-meal was a real highlight. The glistening ocean cured my hangover and my worries disappeared like money from my bank account as I paid the bill.
A famous man once said, 'If you put a restaurant in a good place, people will go there no matter what'. This definitely rings true here, although I think the food is good.
Make sure you keep a look out for the skinny pasty boy working here. The boy can play guitar and is open to requests. He responds to ratboy among other things.
Slow slower slowest?. Some of the slowest brekky service I've ever experienced. nice range of beers though but again once you've got a beer order your next one half way through!
Food was fine - expensive but the view is what you're paying for!
We went to Clancys last week for dinner - the place was packed at 6pm with everyone wanting to take advantage of The great weather and the sunset dinner views. It took about 10 minutes to be seated but we were offered the drinks menu and by the time we had ordered our wine, the table was good to go. I had the fish tacos which were fresh and fab - my husband and son shared the seafood platter which was packed with scallops, calamari, sardines, fish, chips and salad - I'm surprised at the complaints about service because although food coming out is slow (ours was about 30min), the restaurant did not have a free seat in sight and its to be expected but the waitress was attentive, ensuring we had water and our wine was topped up. This might just be my new favorite local.
Great midweek vibe. Great meals, friendly service, excellent beach views and a wonderful atmosphere!!
Great spot had lunch at the weekend
Found the service plentiful, the coffee flavoured stout out of this world and the meals sound.i liked the fish tacos and oysters were super fresh.
Have been here a few times. Has the menu changed for winter? There's hardly any choice for a main meal. There was three of us and decided due to lack of mains choice, we would share some of the 'share' plates. Can't go wrong with the arancini balls. Prawns and the crostini great. Fish taco was ok- needed a sauce and not over cooked fish. The braised pork was a miss. Suprisingly large sizes and everything came in groups of three, as there was three of us it was easy to share.
It's the little things that count!. I don't eat seafood so it wasn't my choice (and it does call itself a Fish Bar so fair call!) but there were a few things I could have eaten mainly from the Share part of the menu and I thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin soup and the arancini. My pals had fish and chips and seafood chowder and they were all delicious. Great beer, ciders and wine to choose from and we were left to sit and chat and not hurried out even though they weren't many people left dining. We also appreciated being allowed to pay separately - that doesn't happen very often - and seemed like it wasn't a big deal for them. Next time we'll go earlier to appreciate the sunset.
Nice view, great atmosphere, friendly staff, yummy foods!! Perfect!
Credit where credit is due...I have been here twice in the last week (once the bar, once the cafe). Best service I have had in Perth in ages! 10 mins from ordering to food, drinks in 5 mins and bloody nice food and service with a smile at normal Perth prices (I have paid more at the Herdie for less). Have been here before and something has definitely kicked up a notch!
Terrible service for a restaurant which was a quarter full..... But the food was 6/10,staff where polite and views amazing. Probably would not drive to visit but if at the beach i'd definitely drop in for a feed...
Family friendly, amazing view. Service is usually friendly and food comes out fast! !! Get the seafood platter for 2. Best value platter in Perth and delicious! !
Yummy fresh food after swim in the ocean. Just right!
Good night out. A friend and myself headed to Clancy's on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. While there was a 20 minute wait on tables we were able to sit on couches and have a drink while we waited, and the view we got when we were seated was well worth the wait! Service was prompt and friendly, we weren't forgotten even though our waitress was clearly very busy. We had the paella and the Sweet potato salad, both were lovely. Will be recommending this place to people for sure - can't wait to go back!
Beautiful Views. Had the best seafood platter here and it has the best views of the beach. I really like it
Love the location - Cajun chicken salad was super. The array of beers on offer is amazing as well.
Best thing about this place is the awesome sea view! Food is decent, and it has interesting interiors but service is very poor. We waited for almost half an hour on a weekday to get a table and after placing the order, it took almost the same waiting time for our seafood platter to arrive!
We only drink there for the view. Food is $$$
Go watch the sun set right in front of you while digging into one of the best fish and chips in perth - not soggy or greasy, perfectly crisp with moist flakey fish inside - far better than kailis or cicerellos (sp?) only let down was the watermelon juice.. More like watered(down)melon juice
We walked in shortly after opening and were greeted and seated efficiently. Throughout the meal the waiting staff were courteous, if not friendly, but most importantly they were attentive. The majority of the food is deep fried but does exactly what it says on the tin - but with that view, you can't complain. It was nice to see local beers on the menu as well as a good British cider which married nicely with the extensive menu. All in all we had a pleasant, informal dining experience which was exactly what we came for.
Very enjoyable. Had a lovely dinner there. Food was excellent and the staff were attentive. Would recommend it, and we intend to return.
Love love love! Friendly staff, awesome beers on tap and lovely clean toilets. Came on a Wed lunch time and very child friendly.
Amazing view - coming again for sure!
I've been here numerous times and can't understand the bad reviews - love this place and come as often as I can! The food is also good!
Stunning View. Hands down, one of the best restaurant views in Perth. Cool, laid-back atmosphere and very friendly staff. The service is a little haphazard, but this is by no means a formal setting and they don't take bookings, so you take what you can get.
Food was a tasty surprise. I'm used to restaurants with a view coming with terrible food, but the food here was mostly very good. Come here for a casual meal and a drink by the beach. Sandy feet and bathers welcome.
Been a few times. Excellent seafood platter. Plenty for 2 and more. Beer is always crispy cold! Excellent service everytime I go

Pleasantly surprised at hit & miss pub. Went to Clancy's last Saturday for a quick, lateish (2pm) lunch to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Have been to this establishment a few times since its opening and have had mixed feelings about the place. But the location is just so good and the view so fantastic I felt it worth persisting (was so thankful when the overpriced Oceanus vacated). This was by far the best experience of the four or so times I've been, so obviously something's changed.
We (2) were seated straight away though it was quite busy. Staff were quick to take our drinks order (a pint of lovely local Joondalup beer and a sufficiently spicy Bloody Mary). Drinks out quickly and meal order taken: the Fried Mice (an absolute must if you're here: deep fried jalapeno stuffed with cheese), and the simple share plate (including a bit of everything: chorizo, feta, olives, but also some specialties like their meatballs and pork belly with pineapple). Food arrived within 20 minutes. Plenty for two. Total bill just over $50.
Staff were professional and pleasant (although I've had lesser experiences here in the past). Noisy but not overpoweringly so (can't stand that), and a great atmosphere. I think atmos is the key here; now all the sections are open there's a really nice feel to it, from the log fire when you walk in to the subtle cool live jazz playing in the corner. A little pricey, but as a local I envisage spending a fair bit of time here over the coming summer; especially on the open deck sipping a lazy ale.... as long as my next experience is as positive.
All I can say is NICE CHIPS!. Can't rave on about the food- I didn't try it...but the chips come out in these cone shaped devices and the aioli sauce was lovely. Crispy chips and the view was priceless....hubby had a cider and it was YUM. Service was spot on. The food that came out around me looked lovely too. I'd be happy.
Food good, service very slow. Been there a few times service still poor. Lovely view though.
Loved breackast at The Cafe
Great Atmosphere & Food :). Came here for a dinner date on sunday night and loved it.
Have always been a fan of the Clancy's in Fremantle so was keen to visit this new location.
We got the shared seafood platter which was huge and came with mussels, oysters, prawns, squid, fish & chips.
Everything was cooked perfectly and could not fault it.
My only gripe was the slow service but as it was a busy night this is to be expected.
Loved the music & decor inside, a really relaxed venue for a lazy sunday night dinner.
Will be back!
Something for everyone. I went to Clancy's last night with a few friends for tea. The thing that is great about Clancy's is how it manages to provide something for everyone no matter what mood your in our group your with. We started at the high tables and stools for a drink, moved to the lower table for tea and then moved to the couches for a coffee and chat. I really enjoyed standing out on the balcony with some Duck liver parfait on toast watching the waves crashing on the beach. Great views and a wonderful atmosphere topped off with a good choice of craft beers and some exciting food on the menu, Clancy's is definitely one of my new favourites.
Perfect for a night out with the girls. Usually my birthday dinner celebrations end in disaster. The restaurant either forgets my table entirely (the Saint, Innaloo) or we get shoved in a cramped corner with no aircond and have to wait 90 mins for food (Pancho's Vic Park). Anyway, I was a little apprehensive about this one..but as soon as I walked in I knew it was all gonna be ok. The fact you can't book ahead makes it better, because you don't need to worry about giving final numbers. There's heaps of room for big groups. The service was quick, food was great ( I had the fish n chips, not complicated but just what I wanted) , our waitress was friendly and polite taking photos for us, and they let you split the bill at the end which is rare in Perth and always better for larger groups. All in all it was a fun, stress free birthday worthy of a nice big tip for our wait staff.
Enjoyable Lunch. Went for lunch on Valentines Day and enjoyed our meal. Couple of slight criticisms though. Firstly my smoked salmon tart and rocket salad was woefully under seasoned. Secondly my creme brûlée was not crispy on the top like a brûlée should be. Had obviously been sat in the fridge for the sugar to go soft. Tasty though. Couldn't fault the service and the view is obviously spectacular.
Smoked salmon tart great! Pan fried squid salad great! Steak sandwich a good feed :)
Portions could be a little bigger but apart from that I'm really happy with the fish and chips I received and the service was great. Great atmosphere and during sunset is an amazing time to be here. 4 stars
This is the best! I could eat here everyday!! Best fish and chips in Perth!
Mixed service but great view!. After reading other reviews I was hesitant about ordering much food here, so I stuck to a pre-dinner snack of chips with aioli sauce and tea and coffee..
The food we had was yum and the plunger tea was delish. The views are amazing, definitely worth a visit at sunset and the decor has a very beachy, hippie vibe that made me feel like I was in Margaret River.. I would recommend going on a weeknight to get a good seat and avoid the crowds, although there seemed like plenty of seating.. Service was mixed, one waitress was friendly and really helpful while another seemed to walk the other way every time you approached her for assistance. Overall though I would definitely go back, even if it was just for the view!
Yummy food, excellent service, so child friendly that I think my 2 year old got better service than me!
Good value. Lovely staff great location and set up, food was good. Yes the food wasn't great as it is still just pub food, however I will certainly go back!
Wonderful. I absolutly love Clancy's on Canning hwy and was delighted when i went with my boyfriend to the new city beach one.
Food was massive and full of flavour. it was super busy but the staff made sure we were seated at soon as possible. was a beautiful day.
Funky and friendly. I am very happy we have something like this in the City Beach/Scarborough area. It's a great place, relaxed, but with a funky interior.
Best bit was turning up at a quarter to nine and not being told off or being told that we only had a short time to order before kitchen closing like so many other restaurants in Perth.
Love it and will definitely be going back.
What a difference. Yum and fun
Absolutely buzzing!!!! Trendy cross section of diners. Mango and squid salad was huge and soooo delicious I devoured it all. The yoghurt and strawberry mini pavlova was lovely also. Fried mice a naughty start to the meal. The fish and chips were "ok" but hubby and my friend couldn't finish and felt very bloated and heavy.
Mum's, please leave your luxury cross-country prams at home. It makes it very difficult and unsafe for staff to service tables
Good pub food. Despite going on a wednesday night, it was still incredibly busy and we had to wait for a table which is'nt a good start.
Even though the staff were crazy busy, they were friendly and helpful, which was a pleasant surprise.
It does'nt quite match up to the clancy's in Freo, but i guess it serves a different market & given time, it may improve.
Having said this & remembering that it is really just a pub, the food was good,tasty, well cooked and fresh.
It's great to have properly brewed beer, but it seemed overgassed and fizzy, which was a bit of a disappointment.
Overall though, It was an enjoyable meal & a good experience & i would go back.

Clancy’s Café is next door to Clancy’s Fish Bar in City Beach. They are part of the same building and have the same owners but are separate places to eat. The café is open from 6 or 7am every day (depending on the time of year) for breakfast and lunch and is also open for tea and coffee until late afternoon. Inside the café there is a water machine so you can help yourself to chilled or room temperature water and grab a copy of the days paper. In addition to the menu there are a couple of cabinets with a range of muffins, rocky road, gluten free and other cakes. There is another counter housing a variety of savoury food. The seating for Clancy’s café is mostly outside and has a selection of bench tables,
A friend and I dropped into Clancy’s Fishbar at City Beach and the first thing I noticed was the opening hours. The sign simply read ... ‘Open until sunset’. In an era where you're often surrounded by bicycle helmets, steel capped boots and mobile phone alarms, this freedom from rules was a joyous reprieve. I turned my phone to silent and felt my shoulders instantly sink from around my ears. Then I looked at the menu. Gone were the rigid groupings of entre, main, dessert, so too the myriad of confusing price levels. Instead there was one page outlining several options each $12.50. Simple.
Food: Awesome and punctual.
The cappuccino was milky with a lovely thick layer of milk froth and plenty of chocolate sprinkles on top. The service this morning was cheerful and my order was delivered fairly quick. A breakfast by the beach surely beats a breakfast at my desk. Multigrain toast with house preserves Starting a morning at the beach is one of the best ways to mentally set yourself up for whatever the day may throw. The calm blue vista of the ocean, the smell of salt in the air and the physical space, those everyday stresses that consume our minds fall to the soft white sand.
Love this place for many reasons; personal and otherwise. Always good food; though sometimes pricey. Nice ambience. Staff are top par; and very professional and genuinely friendly. Beautiful views of the beach and ocean and of those that play upon. Good parking, too. Always a pleasure coming back and trying something different and/or my usual, which I have a few.
Love this place, it's location, the food and drink options are great.
THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS I'VE HAD IN AGES
THANK You to the staff that looked after us, brilliantly, oh, and new to me was the way we ordered the drinks from the table tablet - choose your drink, and it is brought to to table within seconds.
Looking forward to going again
Ordered a seafood platter for $95, enough for 2 people. Really fresh seafood, very delicious and had a table with sunset view. Staff were super easygoing too! Would definitely come back again!
Very good service. Have ordered the snapper and chips, chilli mussels is very nice than expected. Plus a glass of wine and a chai latte for total $90. Not cheap but we are happy with the experience.
Loved it. Beautiful day. Ocean views. Great window table. The cheese cob was the bomb💪 will return.
Beautiful view and atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was attentive and friendly. Ordering through the smart tablets at the table worked well.
We went for a birthday and they were more than happy for us to bring a cake along and there was no cakage fee.
Came here for dinner by myself whilst on a trip to Perth.
Was staying in como and took me about 20mins to drive here.
Friendly service, and explained how to order.
You order food with the wait staff, and order drinks on the iPad on the tables.
Food and drinks came out very quickly.
I ordered the snapper special, and whilst it was delicious, the sauce covering most of the dish was cold. That was the only let down. Nice cocktails too!
And ladies, be sure to look at the signs in the toilets 💕
Thanks guys.
