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.

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.

Hackett's
Kilkenny
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! 🍻

Lanigans Bar
Kilkenny
10/04/2026: lovely ambience, great fresh food and friendly staff
01/04/2026: We ate there for lunch, without a reservation. The dishes are classic: fish and chips, soup, burgers, sharing platters with drinks... One small negative point: the numerous pieces of chewing gum stuck under the counter, which are clearly visible when you're sitting at the table next to it.

Billy Byrnes
Kilkenny
06/05/2026: A very good pub/restaurant; we had burgers. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. I recommend it if you're in the area.
03/05/2026: AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I had a bad experience here the last time but while I was in Kilkenny I said I would give it the benefit of the doubt and come back and try again.
We sat in the “newly renovated” beer garden and it was far from it. The benches were absolutely crawling. There was a dead bird beside our table with ants crawling around beside it.
The women’s bathrooms were absolutely crawling with dirt.There was no chart to show cleaners coming in and out. No toilet roll available. Barely any running water and toilets covered in feces.
The staff are so rude when you are trying to order a drink, and there was no need because it wasn’t busy, there was not many people in the place at this time.
The disable toilet was also outside in a storage container which I found very uninclusive.
Absolutely will not be back. Far nicer places in Kilkenny to go to.

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 aquĂ 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 habĂa comido aquĂ antes. Kevin, que era agradable, conversador y todo un caballero, me sirviĂł una comida deliciosa. Esto hizo que mi experiencia fuera muy placentera y tengo toda la intenciĂłn de volver a venir aquĂ 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
Kilkenny
10/07/2024: Overall not satisfying experience. Food was dissapointing and bland. Definitely not recommended. Atmosphere was rude and unfriendly.
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.

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!
