Brewery Corner
Kilkenny
19/09/2025: Extremely nice bartenders! Good atmosphere, you will feel comfortable at once.
06/09/2025: O'Hara's tap room. Went there and had really good beer. Spoke with two of the bartenders (possibly owners?) asked for a sticker (which no breweries or distillers carry in Ireland) and received a free t shirt instead. Great place good people!

Caffè Nero Kilkenny
Kilkenny
06/11/2025: The baristas are really friendly and make excellent coffee! The atmosphere is also fantastic. Especially if you sit upstairs, you can just switch off and enjoy your coffee in peace and quiet.
02/11/2025: Great place to chill. Awesome to have lovely well behaved dogs welcome. Staff friendly and great coffee. Setup meand tables are a bit close together and clamped. Toilet is upstairs, just a little challenging for an elderly family member.

Royal Spice Indian Restaurant
Kilkenny
02/02/2026: All the menu items we tasted was weirdly sweet. Just sweet. I have no idea how everything tasted the same kind of sweet, be it paneer, baingan, or even non veg curries. The only thing I liked was samosas. I would sadly not recommend this place to anyone with a spice palate.
02/02/2026: Disgusting not even indian food

Otter Inistioge
Inistioge
28/11/2025: Had the best time. Shoutout to Mia and her father. The Otter Bar was a highlight of my trip while traveling Ireland. We originally stopped in for a bite to eat but ended up getting take out delivered to the bar from another village. “The people of Inistioge are hungry!” I’ll cherish the memories. Spice bags and Sláinte!
18/07/2025: A lovely country pub will definitely return they facilitated delivery of food for us for which we were grateful no other food options available

Clubhouse Bistro
Kilmacow
22/12/2025: What a little hidden gem of a golf course! Played today on a GolfNow offer and it was worth triple what I paid. Caught upto a gentleman and joined him for the back 9 and what a pleasure. Spoke to some of the nicest people I have met at a golf course, a credit to the club! Don’t hesitate to visit here. Also has a driving range with grass tees which is extremely rare so don’t miss the opportunity!!!
