29/08/2025: Very welcoming traditional Irish pub

04/06/2025: Just an excellent spot. Staff are absolutely fantastic also and the drink is always nice here 👍

14/10/2025: Went in for to get breakfast Saturday and there was no organisation in the place There was so many couples inside waiting including ourselves.. A couple of young girls were behind the counter and no one taking charge. It was ridiculous so we left to go somewhere else and got great breakfast and service Very disappointed Won't be there again

25/09/2025: Super little cafe, thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Wonderful large full Irish breakfast for very reasonable money. I'll be back.

24/11/2025: I was here at a fair of old vinyl records, CDs and cassettes. I bought what I wanted. All sellers are passionate about their business. I am very satisfied.

09/11/2025: V nice hotel clean rooms very friendly staff and great food

16/11/2025: First time getting food amd last time , whats the point of putting notes on if they can't read english

02/08/2025: Had a take away and although it took a little longer than estimated. It was definitely worth the wait. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted deliciously authentic! Definitely recommend Will eat in next time...

30/07/2025: Friendly staff and super savings

30/07/2025: Great place to pop in for a frank and honest coffee and whatever other bits and pieces you might need. Excellent staff and excellent management!

18/07/2025: Fui a una comida familiar 3 A 3 K, me decepcionó mucho el tamaño de la porción. Me sirvieron 2 cucharadas de arroz frito, donde todos los demás recibieron una porción individual de arroz hervido o fideos fritos. Tener que pagar más por arroz frito pero que te sirvan una porción de la mitad del tamaño del arroz hervido es muy descarado. No se molestará en volver.

26/06/2025: The food is delicious and definitely worth the price.

11/11/2025: Average nice hotel close to the Visual Carlow (actually, close to everything in Carlow) - there was a student week and the club was working till 2am, because of the thin walls we could hear everything.

07/11/2025: Rooms get pretty noisy about 6am. Would recommend asking for a room away from road. Apart from that it was nice and comfortable.

14/09/2025: Food is always amazing and doesn’t disappoint . however there is a young girl that works doing phone. My family ordered a few different things off the menu for my birthday, nothing complex and the order was wrong, only realised when the food was checked at home. It was an ordeal trying to get the food correct and trying to speak to someone more senior, this isn’t the first time it’s happened. So check your food before you leave!!!

23/06/2025: Hard to get thru on the phone.. says open on the app and drove down and was closed .. but food is very good 👍

08/07/2025: I made a mistake with the order. I called immediately to cancel it. I was assured that the order was refunded to me. 10 days later and I still don't have my money back . I also sent 2 emails to the site administrator, where i placed the order , I tried to call ... no response. avoid this place, dishonest owner !

15/06/2025: food was delicious—especially the chicken vindaloo, which was perfectly spiced and full of flavour. The service was impressively quick, and the guy at the counter was polite and welcoming. Everything tasted fantastic and the prices were excellent—very good value for money  . I’ll definitely be back!

02/09/2025: Half pounder good Pizza good Battered sausage good Chips ok

28/08/2025: Plenty food, happy friendly server.

07/12/2025: Affordable prices, great rooms, very convenient as it is right in the centre of town.

02/11/2025: Says free parking, there isn't. It's free after 5 o'clock in a public car park (like everywhere) so be wide of this false advertisement. Room was standard once ur able to get in after knocking the door 20 times and many phone calls which weren't answered.

25/11/2025: Aidan was a fantastic bartender and mixologist, possibly the best I’ve experienced in a bar in Ireland! He was very knowledgeable and put a huge amount of thought into each ingredient added to our drinks, making swaps to some traditional cocktails to make them better suited to our tastes based off some of the likes and dislikes we shared with him. He even makes his own vanilla syrup from vanilla bean pods- an extra step which really shows the passion and care he has for his craft and his customers. While we were there he was also very attentive as to if we were having an enjoyable night and if the cocktails were as we wanted them. If I wanted quality cocktails and expert service in Carlow, Aidan definitely is who I’d go to. 10/10 would recommend!

19/11/2025: Kip staff terrible food terrible AVOID

27/11/2025: Only had an americano. 3.50€ Very average and watery taste. Not for me.

23/11/2025: Has to be the best coffee around. Its always busy. The coffees from iced latte and chai latte to americano and flat white are exceptional. The sandwiches are really good as are the acai bowls
