The best restaurantsof irish in Kilkenny

06/09/2025: Vegetarian & Normal Friendly. Soup was excellent. Burger, yes the burger, was outstanding. Carbonara & Risotto very very good. My wife, who is a pizza-lover and profoundly particular, said that this is one of the best pizzas that she has ever had. Pizza was the perfect balance of thin crust & artisanal with the ‘correct’ amount of cheese & savory sauce. Overall, strongly suggest this place for a celebration with the vegetarian in your life.

28/08/2025: Food was phenomenal, feather blade in particular. Coffee at the end of the night was scorching hot which was the only mark against the venue

30/08/2025: We stopped in for a late lunch and we’re seated right away. The salad with goat cheese, and the sandwich and soup really really good.

28/08/2025: Lovely home cooked food. Great brown bread. And get a beer while your short wait 🫷😀

22/08/2025: Three of us went there for dinner. One burger, one Caesar salad, and one Margherita pizza. All three dishes arrived after exactly three minutes. The pizza crust wasn't cooked through. The burger was dry, and the bun was dusty. The chicken in the salad was dry and old (or so it looked). A real shame.

21/08/2025: This pub is truly what you'd imagine an Irish pub to be. We had quite a few drinks here, and the changing live music was amazing. The atmosphere was fantastic. A definite recommendation in Kilkenny. The pub was voted the best pub with live music in Ireland in 2017.

26/08/2025: Great pub atmosphere with excellent food. Friendly staff who were very helpful with recommendations for a vegetarian.

20/08/2025: The place is very nice and is divided into a restaurant section and a bar section.

07/08/2025: Good food in large quantities. Wide selection of drinks. Serves food starting at lunchtime. Small and not always clean restrooms are a small drawback.

04/08/2025: Good selection of beers great atmosphere live music friendly staff

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.

15/06/2025: Small independent cafe that served more traditional Irish food, in particular the breakfasts. I would highly recommend the breakfast boxty - it was delicious! It appeared noticeably loved by locals and I always think this is a good sign!

07/09/2025: Great pints & trad music early evening. Wonderful experience.

04/09/2025: We just had a drink. Everything was fine.

02/09/2025: Me and my ladies enjoyed the cocktails so much and not to forget about the lovely live house!!

31/08/2025: Excellent menu with lots of choice. Friendly efficient staff who added to the enjoyment. It was busy but they got a table for us after a short wait at the bar. Recommended.

02/09/2025: Fabulous staff and fantastic restaurant

24/08/2025: A great pub, restaurant, guest House. Super friendly, great value food, indoor areas, outdoor dining, an off-licence, meeting rooms. It meets do many needs and occasions. Community friendly and hugely supportive of local organisations including holding events. Highly recommend.

23/08/2025: 💯 well worth a visit.. Very comfortable seating and amazing customer service received from Joanne Thursday 21st Aug.. We returned Friday 22nd and again lovely service from another young lady❤️ Perfect pint of guinness!

21/08/2025: We visited this fantastic pub during our Irish road trip and enjoyed an excellent meal, treated with exceptional kindness and professionalism. We met some wonderful, friendly people...like these two incredibly charming friends. Thank you, Kilkenny and An Poc Fada.

19/07/2025: We stayed just one night at this B&B. The room was okay. Tea and coffee with a kettle are always a plus... The staff were very helpful and friendly. We had dinner here in the evening for convenience: we ate well (smoked salmon bread and a good sirloin accompanied by potatoes and other vegetables), and the beer was excellent, but in Ireland you can usually be sure of this at a more than reasonable price. The property is located right on the main road to Kilkenny, so it's easy to find. Parking was available in front of the building, which is great when you're on a road trip like us. We were four friends (two couples). Overall, more than good. One last thing...the breakfast: okay (we had booked a room with breakfast), both continental and Irish (several options). The place is about twenty minutes from Kilkenny, so if you want and the weather permits, you can take a walk to the town center, which is very charming and inviting, with a castle and adjoining park... Both are best visited only until late afternoon.

16/07/2025: Authentic, friendly, nice - perfect!

09/05/2025: New owner redevelop great bar and crew

25/03/2025: This is definately one of the friendliest pubs I've ever been in... The owners great you coming in and wish you the best leaving... Spacious.... Warm... Inviting 10 stars

02/09/2025: Location is nice, room is well ventilated with the fan, except the shower for hot water can't be controlled, it can get too hot in the shower

31/08/2025: Great hotel downtown, Close to all the amenities and pubs. Bus to and from Dublin stops couple of hundred meters from it. Staff are polite and friendly

14/07/2025: Very good restaurant with a traditional atmosphere

24/06/2025: Great olde worlde bar and hotel... quirky friendly staff

10/08/2025: Location couldn't be better. Right in center. 15 min walk from train station. 3 mins from kilkenny castle 🏰. Room 1 is so tiny, for the price I expected better, extremely basic, NOISY. Beer Kegs being rolled down the street at 7am! People banging door down at 2.30am trying to get in. On a main street so people shouting outside your window alllllllll night. Beds very hard and squeaky. Not a bar of soap to wash your hands. No hair dryer, iron but no board, very dated room. Needs a few shelves on wall. Can't turn tv off, it goes off after a few hours itself Breakfast lovely, staff hard working, beer garden is nice. I brought my issues with room to a staff member who just empathised with us. She said the place was booked solid for the next 2 weeks

05/08/2025: Very good value, lovely rooms, food great value and fast and super friendly service. Excellent steak on the stone.
