I didn't care about the service as there were literally numerous workers and yet with limited customers the night I visited, they seemed off and slow and not really showing much enthusiasm towards services. This is where working to earn tips in the service oriented jobs in the US is a definite advantage. I had 4-5 people serve my table of one customer yet I had to remind them ... can I have water please, is anyone ready to take my order, my drink was served by one, water another, food order taken by yet another, and served by entirely a new person!!!! Not personable experience and rather confusing and unorganized. The Whisky based espresso cocktail was good Nd tasty and the 8oz fillet was fine but rather dry, and more like. 4 or 6 oz at the most. I didn't feel like complaining to be honest.

The servers were very friendly and attentive. The service was fast as well! I ordered a martini which was a great cocktail, not too sweet with a lot of passion fruit. I had the vegetable soup which came out piping hot and was a great starter. I ordered the chicken sandwich that was on special that day. The chicken was fried perfectly and was tender and juicy. The fries were seasoned well and had a nice bite to them. I ended with the sticky toffee sundae which was huge! The portions here are generous and items could easily be split between two people. They have a very extensive menu, including many vegan options! There is something for everyone here. They have their own parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking or a parking garage. This was a great stop while I was staying in Naas. I would highly recommend checking this place out.

The interior of the bar has upscale booths across from the bar as well as a larger room that can fit larger groups of people. The bar is known for its wines, but to me, it also had some super delicious cocktails. I got a gin and tonic with UK/British ingredients: Kinsale gin and elderflower tonic. DELICIOUS. We also ordered the charcuterie plate, which was filled with delicious meats and dried fruit. The only area of improvement would be the consistency and speed at preparing the drinks. Since we were waiting for a table at Gallagher's, we only had about 30 minutes at the restaurant. However, either due to an inconsistent kitchen or too much care with the food, the drinks and food took quite a while to get out and delayed us from getting to our table by about 20 minutes. Still, I do think this is a good bar to stop by and would do it again!

It also brought back fond memories of one of our early dates at a Left Bank in Pleasant Hill CA, when Gayle put me to the test. :) p.s. - I'm still around after 20 years. Our tour had just arrived in Kilkenny and as we walked down through the Food Festival (it was also a Bank Holiday), we needed to find a bank to replenish our cash reserve for tips and such. As we were Downtown, that was easy to accomplish. After that, I asked Gayle if she wanted to eat at the food festival or sit down somewhere. She opted for the latter, and Left Bank was right there! The place was packed and with great happy Bank Holiday energy, but the nice guy greeting us suggested we walk around and see if we could find an empty table. After about 5 minutes of searching, we spied a couple just leaving at a table by the window and we grabbed it. We were served quickly by an observant wait person, and before we knew it, my Chicken BLT and Gayle's Burger were right there. My choice was very good, and Gayle's burger was amazing. My adult beverage of choice was a Smithwicks, while Gayle stuck to her go-to Chardonnay choice (but with a burger?). Then as we're enjoying our Lunch, we look out the window and there's our friends Don and Fern walking down the food festival street! Gayle quickly left to chase them down, and with enough room at the table, the more the merrier! If we weren't on the tour clock, I would have gone another round. But alas, all good things....and doing a mitzvah by leading another couple looking for table to ours as we left.
