Zuni Restaurant
Kilkenny
21/03/2026: We stayed in Zuni for a family celebration and we all agreed it was a wonderful experience. The rooms were lovely, good size and very comfortable. The restaurant is excellent, definitely the best meal I've had in a long time. However, the star of the show was the staff, consistently friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Hole in the Wall
Kilkenny
21/04/2026: This is a truly unique place to visit. It does not open until 8 - the gate across the front is locked so it leaves folks guessing whether it is still in operation. It is. Definitely worth a visit for a pint and some great conversation.
14/04/2026: A really great spot for a warm welcome, stories you'll hear nowhere else and not a million options at the bar -just the good stuff. Truly one of those mythical places where locals and tourists can come together to make a perfect blend.

Ristorante Rinuccini
Kilkenny
13/05/2026: I cannot speak highly enough of this restaurant. You simply must visit it!
It was recommended to us by some friends. We were greeted warmly and treated so well. The food was utterly delicious and the wine was excellent.
We had a really lovely meal and would highly recommend it
10/05/2026: It was just fine. The mushroom risotto was very bland. My partner's short ribs were cooked perfectly but also served over bland risotto. Just didn't impress me and does not seem to reflect the price

Matt The Millers Bar & Restaurant
Kilkenny
22/04/2026: Very well located, the staff were very attentive and efficient. The decor is unique, and they play pleasant background music without being intrusive. The food was decent, although the meat was a little overcooked for my taste. The seafood chowder was a great choice!
21/04/2026: Olivia was an outstanding waitress for our large group—always smiling and incredibly attentive. The fish and chips were amazing, and everyone at the table ordered something different that was just as delicious. The Irish dinner music playing throughout made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Orchard House Bar
Kilkenny
19/04/2026: Traveling through Ireland, this was our best stay yet. Cozy, clean and comfortable rooms. Comfy bed with REAL pillows. Couldn’t hear the live music from the bar downstairs at all which was a plus.
21/03/2026: We had a great stay here for a week because of work and visiting family. Everything was perfect, from the very comfortable, quiet rooms to the great breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the perfect setting with a restaurant and bar as part of it, so it was a very enjoyable week and made even better with just a very friendly welcome every morning as if we were family. We’d definitely recommend and we’ll be back here to stay next time in Kilkenny.

The Playwright
Kilkenny
15/04/2026: Avoid they allow men to use the ladies toilets my 9 year old daughter went to the bathroom only to be confronted by a man in the toilets with his door open..approached staff about this and they laughed it of..this individual constantly does this as if it was acceptable. A fully grown man in a toilet with the door open is acceptable to these guys..Avoid
