Hole in the Wall
Kilkenny
20/05/2026: This was hands down my favorite pub in Ireland. It is exactly as it sounds, a hole in the wall that barely fits 10 people. Michael is an extraordinary human who has done impressive things and is wonderful to speak with. His patrons break out in song with instruments he keeps on the walls for all to play. Don’t come here expecting fast service, come here expecting an experience that is unique and memorable.
02/05/2026: The best bar in Ireland! Michael was great! We had a wonderful time! A must do on your trip to Kilkenny.

River Court Hotel
Kilkenny
15/04/2026: Excellent stay last weekend with my baby as part of a hen party. Cannot thank the staff enough, I found myself staying on my own with my baby due to the fuel protests. The ladies on reception were so welcoming and helped with my luggage. The restaurant delivered my meal to the room, it was lovely. The hotel is great and the staff definitely made my stay enjoyable and relaxing.
08/04/2026: Good hotel located in the centre of kilkenny. Room was nice, clean and big, and despite it overlooking the main street it was quiet. Slightly odd setup that the quickest way to the hotel room was to leave the building and walk across the car park, but there was an option to walk through the hotel also. Bar was good, just went there for a drink, not food. Breakfast is self service and a good choice of hot and cold food.

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 🍕 😋
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 you’re staying here, I would reccomend ear plugs, as the windows aren’t the thickest. You can literally hear everything outside.
But location is great, car park behind for €5 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

09/04/2026: Michael is a great guy who also gives excellent recommendations for things to do in Kilkenny. The Guinness here tastes especially good as well. A clear recommendation if you’re visiting Kilkenny! 🍻

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!

The Metropole
Kilkenny
22/03/2026: Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. The room itself was in a shocking state, with mould growing on the walls which immediately made the whole place feel dirty and unsafe. To make things worse, we had complete strangers somehow entering our room at 3am — even though the door was locked. It was genuinely unsettling and left us feeling like we couldn’t relax for a second.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the guys staying upstairs took a shower and the water literally came through the ceiling and onto our bed. Completely unacceptable and honestly unbelievable that a place like this is allowed to operate.
There was never anyone at reception or in the lobby to speak to, so we had no way to report these issues or get help. By the end of the stay, we felt so uncomfortable that it was like our skin was crawling the entire time.
Even basic things didn’t work properly — the curtains wouldn’t close, leaving us with no privacy.
The only positive thing I can say is that the location was good. Unfortunately, that’s nowhere near enough to make up for everything else. I would strongly advise avoiding this place.

Marble City Bar
Kilkenny
04/07/2025: Tuvimos una comida fabulosa aquí hoy en el bar Marble City, llegamos sin reserva y tuvimos la suerte de que nos sentaran de inmediato, Kevin, nuestro camarero, fue muy amable, servicial y paciente con 2 comensales quisquillosos, la comida era deliciosa y una experiencia encantadora en todos los sentidos, volveremos.
04/07/2025: En un viaje reciente a Kilkenny, tuve la suerte de pasar por el bar Marble City para almorzar. He visitado Kilkenny en muchas ocasiones pero nunca había comido aquí antes. Kevin, que era agradable, conversador y todo un caballero, me sirvió una comida deliciosa. Esto hizo que mi experiencia fuera muy placentera y tengo toda la intención de volver a venir aquí para comer.

Statham's
Kilkenny
30/08/2025: Darren and team were great! In from Nashville, TN and had the best stay and breakfast was delish (smoked trout) . Must stay in kilkenny!
27/08/2025: Myself and my partner had dinner in Statham’s by Pembroke on Saturday night and to say the food was out of this world is an understatement, each course was prepared and served to perfection. The staff were so helpful and friendly, the atmosphere was amazing. This is a top class venue with the most delicious food i have ever eaten can't wait to come back again.

The Cat and the Fiddle Gastropub

10/07/2024: Low-quality food for the price, unfriendly atmosphere, didn't feel very hygienic, disappointed with this place, would not recommend since there are so many places that are actually friendly and delicious to eat/drink in Kilkenny.
10/07/2024: Overall not satisfying experience. Food was dissapointing and bland. Definitely not recommended. Atmosphere was rude and unfriendly.

Victorian Castle Kitchen
Kilkenny
30/07/2025: Avoid at all costs! Zero stars if I could.
Terrible service, terrible atmosphere, overpriced!
Staff more interested in texting, chatting- had to go into back room to ask for someone to take order even though they could see a queue of people waiting! Forgot part of order and pretty miffed when asked if could have it. No vegetarian options but “we could take the ham off the the ham and cheese sandwich”.
Avoid, avoid, avoid! Lots of cafes and restaurants outside the castle to go to!
