22/10/2025: Genuine Irish pub full of locals. Great pub food and friendly staff. Not quiet! Very noisy and a bit crowded with everyone having a grand time of it. Definitely a place to repeat. Food isn't served after about 7:30 so plan carefully.

16/10/2025: Such a lovely cafe and good customer experiences ! Would highly recommend to come and visit this cafe ! We love literally everything ! ❤️

14/10/2025: I enjoyed the bowl. Lots of vegetables, very colorful and good flavor. I felt very welcome.

08/11/2025: Avoid I though it was terrible especially the senior management.

23/09/2025: We live in Kilkenny and this is our favourite restaurant. We have had family dinners (with teens), meeting friends and meals just as a couple - all wonderful. The food is lovely, great wine selection. The decor makes me feel like I am in Paris but it’s the fabulous service that keeps us coming back time and time again. Everyone there is so attentive, friendly and professional. Tvrtko (hoping I spelled this correctly) in particular is a gentleman and looks after us so well every time we are there. Highly recommend.

02/11/2025: They think that a milkshake is flavoured milk. It's not. Don't bother going here.

30/10/2025: I ordered a strawberry milkshake to take away and it took them 20 minutes to get it. An absolute disgrace and I can say one thing for sure I will never be going back there again

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.

22/09/2025: Friendly and authentic gem. Fresh, delicious sandwiches with highest quality ingredients, made to order, with care. Very good value! We had a lovely outdoor picnic on this beautiful sunny day and enjoyed every bite.

01/09/2025: If you’re looking for authentic Sicilian flavors, this place is a gem! The sandwiches are amazing with fresh bread, quality ingredients and great combinations. The Italian owners from Sicily are very friendly. Highly recommended!

13/11/2025: Very rare to come across a pub where barmen actively scout the bar to see who’s okay for drinks! Lovely cosy pub

12/11/2025: I didn't have food here. Service was excellent 👌 Atmosphere was busy, great place for a drink and a chat. City centre perfect for a meeting family and friends
