Apache Pizza
Kilkenny
29/07/2025: Too expensive
Not worth the price
Food ok
09/07/2025: Ordered a simple don kebab loaded fries, but don't eat mayo so asked for it without mayo, just hot sauce. This was at c. 00.15. Got it the complete opposite way around, dosed with mayo and no hot sauce. Went back in after discovering mistake and was told nothing they could do as that was last order and ovens/fryers turned off. This was at c. 00.30, and they've advertised that they're open until 1am! Had to leave and just throw food in bin.

Marble City Grill
Kilkenny
08/06/2025: Two bags of chips and two chicken tender portions, about €25, should be ashamed of the bags of chips handed out at full price and absolutely ICE cold not even lukewarm.
07/05/2025: Had the misfortune of eating here recently. Food very poor, chicken wrap with bacon cheese chips. Wrap was like paper, chicken was rubbery. Chips were ok. Price outrageous for the very poor quality food. Honestly it's very poor, I should have known by the previous reviews but I was hungry and it was late. Will not return.

The Metropole
Kilkenny
09/09/2025: Terrible experience
Dirty
Smelly
Photos not real
17/08/2025: There were unidentifiable stains on my pillow. The walls had a nice pattern of mold and you couldn’t go to the toilet in the room cause the smell of the bathroom would knock you out. Luckily the location was good that we could avoid going back to the ‘hotel’ until the early hours of the morning, and by then it was time for the best part of the place…the door out! Spend the extra few bob and get an actual hotel

Marble City Bar
Kilkenny
04/07/2025: Tuvimos una comida fabulosa aquí hoy en el bar Marble City, llegamos sin reserva y tuvimos la suerte de que nos sentaran de inmediato, Kevin, nuestro camarero, fue muy amable, servicial y paciente con 2 comensales quisquillosos, la comida era deliciosa y una experiencia encantadora en todos los sentidos, volveremos.
04/07/2025: En un viaje reciente a Kilkenny, tuve la suerte de pasar por el bar Marble City para almorzar. He visitado Kilkenny en muchas ocasiones pero nunca había comido aquí antes. Kevin, que era agradable, conversador y todo un caballero, me sirvió una comida deliciosa. Esto hizo que mi experiencia fuera muy placentera y tengo toda la intención de volver a venir aquí para comer.

La Trattoria
Kilkenny
31/03/2024: Even though reservation was taken via Google upon arrival it was clearly evident that the place has been permanently closed for some time.
28/02/2024: Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from the manager/owner of this restaurant. We had a booking confirmation email that confirmed our reservation and were refused entry and basically told to leave because he claims they don’t do online bookings. Why on earth have a system set up where you can book online then? He was extremely rude waving his arms in the air and telling us we were wrong, even though his restaurant was empty and could have simply given us a table regardless of the mix up on his behalf.

Mount Juliet Golf Club
Thomastown
19/08/2025: I recently played two rounds at Mount Juliet during a short trip home — teeing off at 4:00 PM one day and again at 8:20 AM the next morning. I spent over €400 between green fees and buggy hire, expecting a top-tier golfing experience. Unfortunately, it fell well short of expectations.
The front nine on both days was significantly disrupted by maintenance work. Grounds staff were actively working on most holes, and a maintenance vehicle followed me for three consecutive holes. Every time I lined up a shot, the vehicle’s engine would idle or start nearby — whether intentional or not, it was incredibly distracting and took away from the experience.
Several bunkers were also in noticeably poor condition, which is surprising given the high standard Mount Juliet is known for.
The worst part, however, was the buggy I hired for €60. It couldn’t reverse and had to be physically pushed multiple times during the round — completely unacceptable for a course charging these kinds of premium rates.
I emailed the club three times over the course of more than two weeks and received no response. I had hoped for at least an acknowledgment, if not a goodwill gesture like a voucher or future round — especially as I won’t have time to return this trip.
I’ve played Mount Juliet regularly when home, and I was genuinely looking forward to this visit. Sadly, the experience and lack of customer service were a real letdown.
02/08/2025: Recién llegado a casa un rato después de un gran día jugando Mount Juliet... me encantó el campo, aunque tal vez sea fácil decirlo después de disparar 79 gross / 39 pts. Los greens eran excelentes y el campo superó mis expectativas. . . sí, algunos trozos irregulares en calles, PERO el campo en general se veía muy bien y los greens eran excelentes.
Desde que llegamos hasta que nos fuimos... el personal era increíble. Jovencita en la tienda profesional era acogedor, charlatán y servicial. El joven que hace de titular era acogedor, informativo y charlatán . . el joven en el 10o también amable y charlatán - buenas bromas sobre el rugby y finalmente Amber fue excelente cuidando de nosotros durante nuestra comida. Ambos si disfrutamos del Butter Chicken & Fish & Chips respectivamente seguido del helado Ic Cream & Brownie postres.

The Cat and the Fiddle Gastropub
Kilkenny
10/07/2024: Overall not satisfying experience. Food was dissapointing and bland. Definitely not recommended. Atmosphere was rude and unfriendly.
10/07/2024: Low-quality food for the price, unfriendly atmosphere, didn't feel very hygienic, disappointed with this place, would not recommend since there are so many places that are actually friendly and delicious to eat/drink in Kilkenny.

Harpers Restaurant
Kilkenny
14/07/2024: Tuvimos un tiempo increíble en el brunch sin fondo. El servicio fue absolutamente increíble, y el DJ realmente añadió a toda la experiencia. Muy recomendable
19/06/2024: Honestamente, no puedo entender la alta calificación que este lugar ha logrado. Estábamos de despedida de soltera y reservamos las 2: 30 Ranura de almuerzo sin fondo el sábado. Era un manicomio absoluto con la música por las nubes. Terrible comida, asqueroso efervescente y cócteles acuosos. El comedor es una larga habitación estrecha oscura sin cubiertas en las mesas y sillas de mala calidad.
Nos fuimos después de una hora. Si usted está pensando en reservar esto, debe conseguir uno de su grupo para ir primero para comprobarlo.
