Hole in the Wall in Kilkenny

Brian is awesome at this teeny tiny pub! We were only able to stay for one drink (tired mother-in-law), but we wish we could have stayed for hours! Thanks for the brief bit of music and camaraderie!

We decided to go by Hole in the Wall because of its history and the reviews were good — we stayed for 6 hours and left saying it was the best night of our life. The bar is small (only about 9 chairs) and forces you to make friends quick. We met people from all over, told stories, sang songs, and played lots of instruments. Michael, the owner of the bar, is incredible and Brian is very kind and a talented musician. Loads of laughs, great people, lots of Guinness (the only tap). Show up with an open heart and you’ll have a wonderful time.

What a find…. When my friends and I passed the blackboard sign at the top of a dark lane way I wasn’t exactly expecting what we found. A great night of craic stories and song where you leave knowing everyone’s name. A memorable evening and great Guinness!

A hidden gem of a pub,delighted to find this place,very small at the bar but the staff are amazingly unique folk singing songs and playing music while entertaining guests..I had a great evening there meeting people and enjoying life..Cash only… ⭐

Lovely gem of a place ,hidden away down a little alleyway

Awesome little place! The owner Mike is such a great dude!

A gem in the heart of Kilkenny. The owner, a retired Cardiologist, has the best stories.

Where else can you meet a cardiologist playing a didgeridoo? Great stories

A must see in Kilkenny! A true small Irish experience!! Go down the dark alley and it’s the last building on your right. CASH ONLY

Tiny but the owner is very friendly and never runs out of anecdotes to tell, whatever the country of origin of the customers.
