Avalon House Hotel
Kilkenny
11/02/2026: Hidden gem. Great food. Beautiful place and great service.
16/10/2025: Wedding Venue of our dreams!!
Wow! I can’t recommend the Avalon highly enough! Laura is a phenomenal wedding organiser who listens to your vision and brings it to life! She feels like a friend straight away who is fully invested in the day! Peter and Laura then make sure the day runs perfectly, remaining calm and positive throughout! The Avalon is the perfect place for a private wedding where you are the priority for the whole hotel! They could not have been more supportive! I can’t thank them enough for the most perfect day! All of our guests loved it commenting on the gorgeous food, friendly staff and homely rooms!

Paris Texas Bar & Smokehouse
Kilkenny
19/05/2026: It's all about food here , and the pints are expensive. We had one drink and headed off.
12/05/2026: I've been here a couple of times. Was always happy. The last visit was a disappointment. Ordered the full rack with applejack sauce, we've got it with chipotle. Sweet potato fries were black so either the oil in fryier was old or the fries were reheated many times. When I paid my bill I shared my disappointment to the stuff (or actually the kids that served me) but all I got was : oh, sorry. Not sure I will go back there.

14/04/2025: The perfect place for a bite to eat at lunchtime. A small menu, but the dishes are really good and well-prepared. They don't have many tables, so there might be a queue outside.
12/04/2025: The butternut squash curry was delicious and the service was really good, great atmosphere, good price. Will definitely return.

Hibernian Bar
Kilkenny
26/05/2026: We really enjoyed our visit. The food was delicious, everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and professional without being too much. The place itself was clean, cozy, and had a very nice atmosphere. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely come back.
05/05/2026: How often do you find hair in your food, especially at a higher-end hotel bar? Here, twice in one meal. Partial refund based on “you ate it.” That’s not how food safety works. Polite staff, but poor judgment on handling.
Not what you expect at this level.

Namo
Kilkenny
20/12/2025: Some spoofer gave me the wrong toppings, absolutely decimated any chance of ever returning, then he had the audacity to drop and shake the living hell out of my 7up and tried serving me it, hehehe I remember my first job too. Unacceptable >:(, another worker was shouting obscenity such as the R word which did offend my autistic brother
11/12/2025: Very nice burrito, portion big enough for 2 people
