Matt The Millers Bar & Restaurant in Kilkenny

A beautiful pub in Kilkenny, both inside and out – right by the Nore Bridge with views of the old town and castle – large yet cozy, as everything is spread across several rooms. The food was surprisingly good – far more than your typical pub fare, but truly hearty, home-style cooking prepared with love. I had the Clonakilty Chicken, for example (chicken roulade filled with black pudding and wrapped in bacon, served with well-seasoned mashed potatoes, fresh, delicious braised vegetables, and mustard sauce). The pub is justifiably proud of sourcing its produce locally. Of course, they also have good beer and a really nice selection of whiskeys, which, as a Scotch fan, introduced me to the Irish variety. When we were there, a duo was playing and singing Irish folk music (every evening from Sunday to Thursday), and they were really good – each of them played several instruments, so it was truly entertaining. A highlight of our trip.

Good food, good music, good atmosphere.

The quintessential Irish pub experience! Friendly service, good food, and lively atmosphere!

A typical Irish pub near John's Bridge. A warm and welcoming atmosphere, with lots of wood and low lighting. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted warmly and seated. The food was very good. We had two stews cooked in Guinness, two pints of Guinness, and one of Kilkenny. We spent €58, but the meat was truly exquisite, tender, and flavorful, and the beers were, as always, top-notch. The evening was accompanied by pleasant live Irish music. Everything was perfect!

James the bar man was sound and the lads doing the music were great. Great night, had a 😂

Lively energetic venue. Great music and craic

I had the goats cheese tartlet and it was delicious. My daughter enjoyed the kids meal with ice cream included. The atmosphere was fantastic especially when the music started for the night. Perfect pub experience.

Music was great and so was the Guinness

Good food, good people, lots of fun

Great pub with excellent food and friendly service. Always busy.
