    If you want plain ole tap water go to Zuni's just up the street. The price is FREE. You can ask for tap water here and the server brings you bottled water stating "He doesn't want you to Trip Advisor them because you got sick from drinking the water." I think it is just a way to add to the bottom line ($$$$). When asked about the ice in the glass his story was "That is different water and filtered several times." I am afraid I am going to drown in the BS. This is NOT listed as a Rick Steves' restaurant of choice, but Zuni's is mentioned and clearly the availability of quality the drinking water for FREE could be a good reason.

    Beer!

    Friendly staff and huge TV screen, unfortunately the Smithwicks wasn't great. Decor is quite hipster. Location is central

    Service - 5 Value - 5…read moreAtmosphere - Dive Bar 5 People - 5 This is a great bar to people watch and do some heavy drinking... Don't worry, you won't be "That Person", because there's always someone else. The bathrooms are ok after a lot of drinks. They are not the best, but they work... The beer is fairly priced and the locals are very friendly and hospitable. We spent the morning with the local women's Hurling Team... Great people who needed to blow off some steam after a hard game. I look forward to going back and spending some time with some great people.

    I SURVIVED THE WORLD'S END…read more I deserve a bumper sticker with that slogan written on it. Or something. Allow me to explain... The World's End is a very authentic Irish Pub, in the very authentic Irish town of Kilkenny, with a cast of VERY colorful regulars. Think Cheers, but SOAKED in at least 10x more alcohol. The front entrance has a little diner feel to it, but all the action happens in the back bar through another set of doors. We walked in at 3 in the afternoon with full intentions of 1 drink and a quick bite...but that all changed when the bartender and locals heard our accent. Clearly not Irish. Before long, everybody was chatting us up, asking where we're from, our plans in Ireland, offering us drinks, pouring us drinks, offering us more drinks. I'm pretty sure we're now Facebook friends with a few of them. One of the locals, fascinated that we're from California, stuffed a bunch of change in the jukebox and selected every song about or with the word California in it. We stayed for at least two hours, half of it listening to the likes of California Girls, Hotel California, California Love, & It Never Rains in Southern California. Good times.

    Left Bank - Delightful decor featuring art of Lady Godiva, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood and more.

    Of all the restaurants/pubs that Gayle and I visited during our recent trip to Ireland, our Lunch…read moreat this Left Bank had the best burger and Craic (fun, good times, enjoyable conversation, and the social atmosphere of a lively gathering). 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.
