There is a lovely group of people from Canada, US, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland in attendance. There are various instruments in the pub for anyone to pick up and play which we witness which added to the charm. We will be back. If you are in Kilkenny at night seek this place out down the Alley.

Servers are cool and will let you gab until you are ready for the check. They also don't add an extra tip even knowing you're a tourist (don't worry VAT 23% tax gets you anyways). Had the prawn crab tacos as well which have a mango fused cream sauce. Definitely worth sitting down and e joying your meal with a cocktail

It was a fun night and would recommend you check it out if ever in Kilkenny

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!

I came here with my sister for an early dinner (5pm) from a recommendation from the staff of the…read morehotel we were staying at. They recommended the baked potato, the chicken something (started with a c, and is essentially a chicken strip), and the peppercorn steak sandwich. We opted for the baked potato with the meat chili sauce and the steak sandwich. Y'all, the portions are huge (two people can share one dish) and the peppercorn sauce for the sandwich was INCREDIBLE. My sister and I used the sauce to dip our fries in. The chili baked potato was also excellent. It has a nice kick to it, so if you don't like heat in your food, then skip this dish. The staff were friendly and enthusiastic. We asked two waitresses for advice on places to visit, and they were helpful and gave us great answers to our questions, and gave us recommendations based on what we were interested in seeing. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

So glad we got a recommendation to come here. The Bartender (Simon?) could not have been nicer. He had suggestion where to go and what drive to take to get the best views (copper coast!).

The ambiance was very neat as the architecture and history within the building is like nothing I…read morehave ever seen. From the moment you walk in the doors, you have to walk up steps and are greeted right at the bar. The atmosphere is cozy and the waiters are all pretty fun with the typical Irish sarcasm we have learned to smile at and join in with. The food was just okay. We had the burger and the lasagne. It was nothing epic, was edible, but nothing wowed us. I would have loved to try the Kytler's whisky and beers, but they were interestingly not offered so we stuck with the Guiness.
