Christy's Bar


Kilkenny
13/10/2025: The best pub in Kilkenny. Spent a few hours with some locals there. The best group and lots of fun. Best Guiness to be had there. Didn't eat there. Don't know if they have food.
19/06/2025: Exceptional bar, you go to the corner and smoke, you feel like you're smoking a cigarette in your aunt's garden. The pool table is free, just don't mention it to the waitress.

The Field


Kilkenny
19/10/2025: If you want a fun pub with live music, this is the place to go!
29/09/2025: Does not serve food. Google lies that it’s a restaurant. But the drinks and atmosphere are perfect. A James Joyce awarded pub, quintessential Irish pub experience.

The Fig Tree Restaurant


Kilkenny
02/11/2025: Traditional Irish cooked breakfast. Handy city centre location. Plenty of room. Seating on two floors
28/10/2025: We had a lovely experience in this restaurant. The place is well-located in the heart of the town. It is very spacious but it does not compromise the cozy vibe the restaurant gives. The breakfast we ordered was absolutely divine (those rashers were amazing!) Last but not least, the staff were just so friendly. We were just happily eating all the way. Definitely coming back!

Kyteler’s Inn


Kilkenny
18/11/2025: Overpriced and mediocre food. Staff are also very rude
17/11/2025: A great place to have dinner and a beer. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pub is housed in an old building connected to the story of Alice, who was declared a witch. You can read about her story on the back of the menu.

Orchard House Bar


Kilkenny
13/10/2025: We have been going to the Orchard for the past number of years and love it!! The service is usually very good and food is fantastic especially the fajitas and roasts. They seem to have changed the menu in the past few weeks and the chicken wrap is no longer on it... it was lovely, slightly disappointed with that. I would recommend them bringing it back as it was delicious.
08/10/2025: We had a veggie fajita to share and it was probably one of the nicest I've ever had.
