    Killers is the best but if you're reading this and have never been there, you might not agree. I love it because I know I can always go and know someone (or everyone) there and everyone who works there is one of my favorite people. If they don't know you they might not be that nice because hey, maybe you suck. They have great specials all the time and Harp which is my favorite beer on tap! Hooray! All I've eaten here is chicken fingers and I will probably keep it that way but hey, chicken fingers are great. Added bonus, if you smoke you can bring your drink with you and watch tree-v while talking about sports with Andrew or Will! If you don't like the Bruins, don't come here.

    Interior. Several pool tables, ping pong etc.

    It seems that most of the bars in Keene are largely patronized by college students, but the Kilkenny is an exception. They seem to cater to mostly locals. It has a kind of dive bar feel, but without the sticky floors and the disgusting bathrooms. Beer prices are good ($4) and they have some excellent crafts and imports (including Kilkenny and Smithwicks). They also do some bar food but we didn't try it so I couldn't tell you how it is. CASH ONLY! There is an ATM inside. If you want to smoke there are tables and chairs outside the door for hanging out and working on your lung cancer. Lots of pool tables, darts, ping pong, foosball etc. Friendly vibe and - oh, did I mentioned that it's Irish themed? Ha ha.

    Best "bouncer" in all the East!

    The bartender is extremely rude on a regular basis. My mother always used to say that a little kindness will go a long way.

    Tuesday nights: All drafts are $2 pool tables are .50 cent games. Enough said, this place isn't high class but right on point.

    Favorite bar in Keene. Seating is available outside as well as inside. Kind of a "towny" bar. Pool, Ping Pong, darts, etc. Cash Only.

    This was my first time here. We went after the lunch rush, and were told to seat ourselves. The…read morewaitress that we had was friendly and was also bartending. It seems like alot of the locals come here because many people came in to order a drink and chat a minute. Their was a corn hole game going on, that I think was sponsored by the restaurant, so most of the traffic while we were there was for appetizers and drinks that were carried outside. We ordered the pickle chips (fried), for an appetizer. I was really happy that they were chips and not spears. They were done perfectly and i though the portion size was good for an appetizer. I ordered the shepherds pie. My husband decided on the chicken and chips. I thought the shepherds pie was really good. The flavor was really good, and the layers of corn, hamburger, and potato were perfectl seasoned. The portion was pretty big and I honestly thought it would be to much; but we were really hungry and it was so good that I actually ate every last bit. I even stole a couple of my husbands fries! I really enjoyed our lunch here and would love to come back and try it again sometime.

There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.

Still we were seated nearly right away at a table in the middle of the restaurant about 5 steps from the bar. Over 25 minutes later we were still waiting to be acknowledged at all. No water, no drinks, no app order - nada. Suffice to say we had to talk to the hostess to find out that there was "some confusion" over who was assigned to the table. To make a long evening story shorter we waited a lot over the course of our nearly 2 hour experience. It's clear there a shortage of organization at multiple levels. We got comped 2 beer without asking. Food was serviceable- both apps and entrees- but nothing spectacular. Stew could have been way better. Would we go again? Maybe but honestly there's a quite a number of locally owned restaurants with superior service and food to choose from in out city.
