The best restaurantsof irish

20/05/2026: Famous and characteristic pub! The best in town!

19/05/2026: Right in the middle of the tourist area. Great atmosphere and lots of beers on tap. The food arrived quickly, which is understandable given the crowds. The staff were highly motivated and really ran around. We made it inside! 👍

28/05/2026: Wonderful place to enjoy an evening meal. Our waitress Emily gave us such good service and even asked the chef what kind of sauce we had with our duck. She offered to order us a bottle but we did not have the time. So instead she poured some sauce on a waterbottle and gave to us free of charge. Would not even accept a tip for this wonderful gesture. "This is how we do it up here" she said. The food was very good and you sertanly get your money worth. Would absolutely recommend all of my friends and family to go here.

02/05/2026: Nice location for a decent bite to eat , Keenly priced and staff were great well done to you all, thank you

19/04/2026: Traveling through Ireland, this was our best stay yet. Cozy, clean and comfortable rooms. Comfy bed with REAL pillows. Couldn’t hear the live music from the bar downstairs at all which was a plus.

21/03/2026: We had a great stay here for a week because of work and visiting family. Everything was perfect, from the very comfortable, quiet rooms to the great breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the perfect setting with a restaurant and bar as part of it, so it was a very enjoyable week and made even better with just a very friendly welcome every morning as if we were family. We’d definitely recommend and we’ll be back here to stay next time in Kilkenny.

09/09/2025: Authentic pub with fantastic food! Service was rather mediocre.

09/09/2025: The Skeff is part of the The Skeffington Arms Hotel. Food was very good. The Seafood Chowder and a couple of (non!) Stout beers from other parts of Ireland were a welcomed change of pace. IPA's, actually. One from Letterkenny, and the other from Kill, County Kildare. Other than the service being just a tad slow, it was (overall) very good. And the live music was magical this night. Okay...Not exactly magical, but covers from bands/artists that everyone knows, sung by a group of a youngish band of 3 called The Groev. They did a great job, actually.

27/05/2026: Great service, location perfect for Dingle Walk, food was very good.

14/05/2026: Great bar, kind staff, good food.

15/04/2026: Went in Friday last for a meal and pint with my family, great vibe and fantastic normal service. Nothing over the top like the crazy fancy restaurants, just what we wanted. No messing. Great food. Gorgeous Guinness and couldn't want more. Definitely recommend

28/03/2026: Pretty pricey and the quality of the food wasn't great. But still okay and the atmosphere was good.

19/05/2026: A lovely place with great food and great staff.

17/05/2026: Place is excellent and staff was awesome.

21/05/2026: The hotel is a wonderful place, historic. The food they offer is really good. So far the good things. I asked for a room with sea view and got the information that it will have view. Well. See a picture from my window. I didn't mean that! The rooms are expectable old. Nothing to complain here. But there is no sound isolation. We were able to here everything from the next room. TV, water tap, shower, toilet. Regarding the service. There were three women in service two younger ones, who walk through the restaurant looking to the ground, barely seeing guests contact wishes for drinks or coffee in the morning. The 3rd women, a stronger one, was amazing. She definitely loves her job. It was fun talking with her and getting her recommendations for the order was Gold. Sorry for this review.

14/05/2026: We stayed two nights as a family. The hotel is superb, retaining its original charm, with very large, comfortable, and clean rooms. The restaurant is the only one open and offers good quality food. The staff is friendly. We highly recommend it.

07/06/2026: Great place for tasty food...pleasant service. Lovely atmosphere.

31/05/2026: Went here with my good buddy Dige we both got the granola bowl, I was a big fan but Dige is very picky with his granola and did not finish it. The quality of the fruit etc in the bowl was top notch organic.

19/05/2026: This is a lovely pub. We visited here for breakfast and it was delicious. It is beautifully decorated and the old theatre display they have us really interesting.

17/05/2026: Good place, excellant staff, nice guinness, different take on food. I enjoyed.

08/05/2026: Hi, I am writing on behalf of Ballinskelligs Community Centre (Community). We had a great meal at the hotel, the staff were great, the food and service excellent. Thank you

30/03/2026: Family gathering, food tasty and good

03/06/2026: 5 out of 5, everything was great

31/05/2026: Why are there so many bugs? Do I have to bring a swatter??

11/05/2026: Excellent restaurant and food . Service staff very welcoming

10/05/2026: Our first time to visit last night (group of 4) and although it was very busy and we had no booking we were very well looked after by all the staff. The quality of the food was excellent from our starters through to the deserts (I had a truly wonderful Wagyu burger). Super food & delightful service. We look forward to visiting again soon.

24/05/2026: A traditionally decorated pub with a cult feel, delicious food, and friendly staff.

23/05/2026: The music was perfect for the atmosphere. It was very pleasant. The service was very quick and attentive.
