Sullivan's Taproom
Kilkenny
09/09/2025: We are from Buffalo, NY and planned our trip to Ireland around visiting Kilkenny so we could experience the Sullivan’s Brewery and Tap Room. Our time with Kelley was great! She was fun, very informative and able to go “off script” to answer our questions. Please send the Marble Stout to Buffalo! Thank you!
We will be back after you open the Kilkenny Brewery!
02/09/2025: Brandon was awesome in describing their unique brewing process. Sally expertly drew 3 wonderful beers.

Kyteler’s Inn
Kilkenny
19/09/2025: One of the oldest inns in all of Ireland. Need I say more? Top-notch atmosphere, old-fashioned service, low-volume music, and dim lighting. A true step back in time.
17/09/2025: Incredibly rude host with an unnecessary attitude.
Update in response to the owner’s response: I have no idea what you’re talking about. I believe you are confusing me with someone else (who you were probably also rude to).

Hole in the Wall
Kilkenny
18/09/2025: If you are in kilkenny make sure you go here, I dont think any 2 nights will be the same
25/08/2025: Always a wonderful night at the Hole in the Wall. Whether the owner Dr. Michael is tending bar or any of his employees you’re in for some wicked fun craic if you linger near the bar. Great and varied music upstairs too - last night was Irish trad lads who told stories between songs, last year it was a group of teens who I’d liken to a young Led Zeppelin!

Butcher
Kilkenny
11/09/2025: Long wait time. Unfriendly hostess but good is amazing
07/09/2025: We were lucky enough to snag a table without a reservation. The food tasted great but some dishes were on the oily side. Definitely think they do meat dishes better than fish and veggies.
