    Kind of sad to report, but happy to give Matt The Millers credit, for being the first pub we…read moreencountered with live Irish music before 9pm during a seven day trip around the island. We stayed in four different cities, and traveled to many more, had lunch or dinner in a variety of pubs, and most, if they had music, were playing 2000's American pop hit junk. Some of those other pubs did have live music schedules for later evening, but we were trying to get our pub experiences at lunch and then 6p-9p range each day so we could get to sleep for the next day's exploring. It's also really nice that this pub is along the water (the river through Kilkenny) and some of the seating overlooks it via window, including open windows if you like. The kitchen closes early here, even on Fridays; 8pm during our June 2026 visit, so plan around that if you are intending to get dinner. Food-wise: * Really enjoyed the beef stew; good price no complaints. * Margherita pizza is great * Caprese Salad is not expensive but pretty mediocre * Seafood Chowder was very good * Tortellini was fine for Ireland Take all the above in context with the overall Irish food scene, which is mostly average at best. These feelings are based on seven days of eating around the country, so when I'm saying the beef stew was really good, that's compared to the rest of Ireland where I had one I liked more and a few others that were not good at all. Drink pricing is on par with other tourist cities; not bad. As with most pubs, beer and liquor selection is limited outside of the extensive Irish Whiskey options. For example, two rums, one bourbon, beers were what we encountered everywhere and no deviation. Service was similar to the rest of Ireland; initial order taking and then you have to flag someone down for anything after that.

    Located in downtown Kilkenny with parking near the library. My husband and I were the first ones in…read morethe pub around 4:30pm. Shortly after multiple people showed up. We got in and snagged a table in the perfect location. We started off with food. The fish and chips were amazing. The fish wasn't too breaded or oily. The piece of fish was huge! The fresh green onions and homemade tater sauce elevated the dish. We stayed at the pub until Irish music started, which was so good! Hearing the tin whistle, guitar, and beautiful Irish singing was such a treat. We enjoyed a handful of cocktails and Guinness! Very enjoyable night!

    We stumbled upon this 5 star restaurant by accident and quickly realized it was the best thing we…read morecould have done. The decor is classy and cozy, good vibes, excellent service, and outstanding food. We started with the Pumpkin Empanadas. The first bite of this literally caused our jaws to drop. Tears forming as the flavor took us on a ride to our most sweetest moments in time. Crispy, stuffed with gold, I could eat thousands of these. Next, the Mikey's Premier Burger. The patty was so moist that the crispy bun with it created a wonderful mouthfeel. I'm not even sure what sauce was on the burger but it completes it. This burger requires no extra work from you. It's packed with flavor. Of course it is accompanied with 3 time fried thick fries. You could break these open and see the heat coming out. It was very hard to let these cool before eating. My wife ordered the Grilled a chicken with mushroom sauce. Home run. I know assume that you cannot go wrong with any choice here. Cheers to this gem in a lovely town. Shoutout to John the doorman of the partnered hotel, he was so kind and showed us the immaculate gardens.

We expected typically pub food and atmosphere but after a 1 or 2 minute wait were ushered into a light and bright back dining room. They offered was much more upscale than Pub food. We had the leek and garlic soup which was a good sized portion and a Waldorf salad both of which were tasty. The group also had the burger and fries which was excellent while 2 of us had the chicken schnitzel topped with greens and fennel. The schnitzel was the best meal I've had in months. The server was attentive and the food arrived in a timely manner. If you are done seeing the Rock of Cashel and are looking for an excellent lunch or dinner spot give Mikey Ryan's Bar and Kitchen a try.
