I returned to this place last night for one or two and was surprised by the new layout. It has…read morechanged from before it looks clean and modern its half restaurant and half pub now new tables and areas to have a drink in very well done its very open but there is private areas too. The staff are very friendly but they still have the same old bouncers with will give some of the people who come to this place before and had a horrible time because of them a bitter taste towards the place they need to replace them so the place has a whole new feel. I haven't eaten here yet but after leaving the place in another pub we got talking to a couple and they couldn't stop talking about the restaurant and the food in the penny hill speaks for itself I suppose very cheap and tasty I didn't give it 5 stars because I haven't eaten here yet and the bouncers are the old ones from before and I've had a horrible experience with them so that stopped me from giving it 5 stars but i will return soon

Eat here 2 weeks ago. Had heard it was good and quite similar to carrolls in Lucan village. It was…read morenothing like it the place was jam packed I ordered Cajun chicken and partner ordered beef I have to say it was just ok nothing special. The Cajun was way too spicy for me and the chips were ridiculously big. Wouldn't be rushing back.

The food here is good, although service can be a little on the slow side…read more There is the usual mix of bar food with presentation tending to be gastropub style. Parking is limited and it seems that most of the village uses the bar as its "local" resulting in slightly cramped conditions as the night progresses. Ample outdoor seating and a covered area which is ideal for any smokers in your party. Certainly would eat here again - but unlikely to unless staying in the hotel again.

A cozy pub located inside the courtyard area of the hotel. This pub is the definitive location of…read morethe birthplace of Guinness, a little known fact, which was first brewed here in 1756 by Arthur Guinness himself. You can safely presume then that you'll find a fine pint of the black stuff here without any doubts! Arthur's bar is my personal favorite pub here in Leixlip, great location and atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and there is frequently live music. Would recommend for tourists to stop in for a cup of tea/coffee during the day or a drink in the evening and soak up the history behind this bar. Check their website for more information.

Mmmm, spicy buffalo wings! That's the first thing I associate with the Carpenter, because they do…read moregreat wings, but the rest of the food isn't that nice. The pub is right behind a 37 busstop, so it's easy to get to and perfect for a wee break when you're waiting for the bus yet again. The Carpenter has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the staff are nice and efficient. It's a lovely spot for a few quiet pints in the evening, but if you want to have something to eat- apart from the wings- this is probably not the pub for you.

This is one of the most random pubs I have been to in a long time. The place is massive. When you…read morewalk in you are greeted by this wonderful fire. If only that was in the main pub rather than the hall, it would be amazing. The pub has loads of great little nooks and crannys spread out over 2 floors. You could easy get lost in here. But its the kind of place that you might have a chance at finding a free table, if you go searching. I have heard they also do a great Sunday Carvery, but I have not given that a go just yet. Watch the stairs, I did see someone fall down them, stairs and alcohol are not the best combo!

Following the recommendation from my Airbnb hosts, I was here for weeknight dinner. It's a local…read morebut it's quite large with big "function rooms" in the back and a large seating area in the front plus a long bar. I seated myself at a comfortable table where my drink order was taken. Not at all busy this evening but attentive staff and low music. The keg for my beer kicked while it was pouring and the bartender apologized. As you can see in the photo, it's still just a hair under a proper pint but as much as I'd find in an American pint. I'm okay with that. For dinner, I chose the Lamb Hot Pot. (The chicken curry is also a good choice as it smelled heavenly as it went by to another table.) A big iron pot topped with melted cheese, underneath a hot stew that was more lamb than anything else. Tasty, rich, delicious and a big portion. Meanwhile, I sat with the laptop connected to their wifi. A second beer was consumed before I wandered back to my Airbnb with a full belly.

A very bad experience. We had booked a table in a nearby restaurant and went an hour early to have…read morea G&T before dinner. I spend 10 minutes at the bar trying to get the attention of the staff. I was just ignored. I got the impression that the staff were on a 'work to rule' as they kept moving around and making no eye contact (they were not serving anyone). Clearly there was an industrial relations issue. I would avoid this pub, it needs a new manager.

Specifically - Duke's Restaurant (upstairs) Full menu with…read moreoccasional special menu options which are very reasonable. Set in what seems like the attic of this yellow, thatched, quaint pub, Duke's restaurant seats about 30 maximum. It is like a hidden little gem overlooking Lucan village and, if it is quiet, like your own little getaway. The staff here are very accommodating and always available for your attention. I have sampled a variety of dishes here with no complaints, all tasty. I particularly enjoy the ceasar salad, which has the lightest, yet crispiest croutons I have come across. Downstairs you will find a nice quaint pub with quiet areas to sit in small or larger groups. Bar food is reasonable, if not a little bland. The menu for the bar rarely changes and chicken can be often dry. However, if you make a complaint, the staff here cannot do enough to help rectify the situation. I think this may have something to do with the hands-on management, with the proprietor regularly on site. Food is better in Duke's than in the bar.

The food is also surprisingly good. They even have a handful of craft beers in addition to the old standards, though the wine isn't an option you should go with. The only issue, again potentially due to the time of year I go, is the service is very inconsistent. You could be waiting 30 minutes for your beer, or you could have one delivered the second you finish your first.
