Billy Byrnes
Kilkenny
12/06/2026: Chill spot to have a drink and eat some delicious food. Had an excellent vegan falafel wrap. The vegetables were cooked to perfection. Great staff. Would happily visit again. Oh they make an awesome hand tossed margarita pizza đ đ
11/06/2026: Stayed here for a week. Breakfast was fantastic every day. Staff were all pleasant enough.
A special shout out to Zara who went above and beyond every day for us.
If youâre staying here, I would reccomend ear plugs, as the windows arenât the thickest. You can literally hear everything outside.
But location is great, car park behind for âŹ5 a day.

Lanigans Bar
Kilkenny
19/05/2026: We stayed in the accommodation and there was 5 of us in one room and it was not comfortable, great place for a stag or hen but you wouldn't want to be claustrophobic, the accommodation was behind the pub and you went over to the pub for food , the breakfast in the morning was very slow . The girls working there were very nice to deal with. It in a good location for the rest of Kilkenny
13/05/2026: 1st visit to Kilkenny. Breakfast here both days was amazing. Didn't stay in the hotel

J.B. Burkes Pub
Kilkenny
19/11/2025: This place is an amazing hidden gem. We booked online and really had no idea what we were walking into . We flew in on A Tuesday from the states and we're very pleased with everything. Tish, Trish, and Mags were all very accommodating and extremely helpful with anything at all we needed. The owner was very nice as well. We had a great time at the session down stairs and met new friends there. Loved this place!!!! We stayed a week!!!

Foodworks
Kilkenny
04/05/2026: Their Irish Breakfast was a bit of a free interpretation. That's not something I appreciate.
26/04/2026: Food ok, staff not very nice. Didnât offer a high chair for our daughter even though she was struggling to reach the table. I didnât think they had one, but saw one by the restroom when we left.

Rocco's
Kilkenny
11/01/2026: Wesley was excellent. He repaired my VCR and promptly returned my copy of Forest Gump on VHS within the rental period.
08/01/2026: By far the best chipper in Kilkenny, its so good I travel from Hugginstown in south Kilkenny to get my food here (approx 25km). My favorites are Quarter Pounder with everything on it and Cheese Curry Chip. My mouth is watering just think of it lol. If you haven't tried a cheese curry chip I would highly recommend it.

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
