La Rivista
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

Matt The Millers Bar & Restaurant
Kilkenny
22/09/2025: Can't at 6pm on a Monday night. Not to hungry do I got the chowder and it was absolutely delicious, and a2 person band playing authentic Irish music so this place gets a 5.0
20/09/2025: Staff 100%. Racist, homophonic bouncers. I will never recommend this place. People on the door disgraceful. Bouncers saw me and my boyfriend holding hands and said we were drunk to get in.

Christy's Bar
Kilkenny
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!

The Field
Kilkenny
09/09/2025: First pint of Guinness in Ireland, here at The Field Bar & Restaurant, did not dissappoint. Live music to boot as well. The bar staff was friendly, and locals were easy to talk to as well.
08/09/2025: This place was Fantastic. Had live music and a great crowd. When I came from the USA, this is the place we were looking for. A laid back pub with live music, happy crowd, great atmosphere and a wide selection of beer.

Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
19/09/2025: One of the oldest inns in all of Ireland. Need I say more? Top-notch atmosphere, old-fashioned service, low-volume music, and dim lighting. A true step back in time.
17/09/2025: Incredibly rude host with an unnecessary attitude.
Update in response to the owner’s response: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I believe you are confusing me with someone else (who you were probably also rude to).
