Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
16/03/2026: We where here stepping into centuries of history at Kyteler’s Inn in Kilkenny.
Founded in 1324, medieval architecture, Irish music, warm comfort food,(in a rainy day was glorious) and more importantly the story that still echoes through the walls, the tale of Alice Kyteler, one of Ireland’s most famous witchcraft accusations.(And that rich that the kings at the time borrowed money from her)
What else can you ask... good food, great atmosphere, fantastic people and history in every corner.
16/03/2026: Had a delicious meal, good service, and a nice atmosphere with live music.

The Lime Tree cafe & restaurant
23/02/2026: One of my favourite cafés in Kilkenny! The atmosphere at The Lime Tree Café is always so lovely, and you’re greeted by the most welcoming, kind staff. They’re attentive, always smiling, and make you feel right at home.
The food is consistently delicious, with generous portions, and even the coffee and hot drinks are top notch. Everything about this place just makes you want to keep coming back. Highly recommend if you haven’t been yet! Run by lovely people who clearly care about every guest!

An Poc Fada
Kilkenny
21/03/2026: My friend & I went when we traveled over to Ireland and it was so much fun! We actually were gonna leave because there were some guys there that wouldn't leave us alone but the nice bartenders and bouncer invited us to stay near them. True Irish gents. And we ended up closing the place down. 10/10 would recommend!
07/03/2026: Was in kilkenny for an overnight break. Came across this pub with live music. Thankfully wasn't too packed, and sat in the booth and felt like it was a personal concert. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Ross and Jim were playing music and singing, absolutely brilliant, took requests and had a laugh. Great night

The Duiske Inn
Graiguenamanagh-tinnahinch
24/03/2026: Food is shocking…… service depends on who’s working… a couple of staff are absolutely brilliant but there’s others there don’t even know they are born yet!!! And make sure to check your bill. You could be charged for stuff you don’t ask for. You be better off going hungry. The town needs a proper restaurant more than anything.
03/03/2026: Lovely restaurant in Graiguenmanagh, it has great staff and the menu has a good variety.
Some seating outside and music most weekends. Definitely not one to miss when your out and about walking, or staying in the near campervan hub, Its your perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner

White Oak Restaurant
Kilkenny
04/03/2026: The place looks amazing inside.
23/02/2026: Great place, with great pubs attached. Friendly staff. It had annoying issue if the key cards being wiped when put next to your phone in your pocket. The staff always were happy to fix it but it was still annoying. But definitely earns its five star rating and cost.
