I was seated immediately, and my drink order placed (Cronin's 0.0). The server recommended the daily special, Pan Fried Sea Bass in spicy tomato butter sauce atop roasted fingerling potatoes topped with roasted cherry tomatoes. I ordered a dressed salad as well. The salad, replete with spring greens, julienne carrots and pecans, was attractive, but overdressed. Too much of the delicious dressing. It was probably my mistake of not knowing or asking what a dressed salad was. I would've ordered the dressing on the side. My entree was a feast for the eyes and tastebuds. I'd never seen cherry tomatoes roasted on their vine--very attractive! The spicy tomato butter sauce wasn't very spicy and it complemented the seared fish well. The servers checked in with me regularly, though not obtrusively. Glad that my Airbnb host recommended this restaurant, and now I do as well! Two thumbs up!

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.

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.

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!
