The Field

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.

Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
15/12/2025: Kyteler’s oozes with character and history!
15/12/2025: This place is awful. The food is terrible, service is worse and it's expensive. We ordered the burger and vol au vent and they were horrible. The salads are bland and disgusting. The server was rude, clueles and didn't even know what lager beer was, so we drank water. Please avoid this place. It was just horrible. I made sure to tell our tour guide never to recommend this place again. In fact, don't bother going to Kilkenny at all. It's not worth it.

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.

Left Bank
Kilkenny
29/11/2025: Interesting place. We chatted with an Italian waitress who recommended some typical dishes and told us about Kilkenny's Italian community.
The atmosphere is unique, the concept is one-of-a-kind, and it's worth a visit. I wasn't thrilled with the sandwich I ate, but the beer was good, and I was satisfied. Stop by!
24/11/2025: Left Bank is a very cozy place, we had a great Irish coffee and enjoyed a beautiful Christmas atmosphere. Ask for Giorgia she’s a kind and joyful person!
