We got to Kilkenny early afternoon and needed to eat. The shopkeeper at Smithwick's was super…read morehelpful in recommending a place to eat. Kyteler's was one of them. So glad we chose this place. Immediately got a table, perused the menu, for me, I found the bangers & mashed potatoes. It was awesome, and plentiful. Almost too much. The others picked the signature dish of Vol Au Vents (open faced chicken pot pie). They loved them, cleaned their plates. All meals were hot and freshly prepared. Quite good! Again, the service was awesome, many people covering all the tables. NO waiting. The beer selection was really good. I enjoyed a Kilkenny ale, others had the O'hara's witches brew. Very Good as well. The restaurant was busy, but not noisy. Good atmosphere for eating and having a conversation. Thank you!

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.

Not only was the room upstairs clean and nicely furnished with 4 beds, the food and bar atmosphere downstairs was perfect as was their hospitality. It was a weekday so pretty quiet thankfully. The bar music downstairs can be faintly heard upstairs in the room but was off by 11:30pm. We were too tired to be bothered anyway. Great place to stay if you're looking to stay up drinking on a weekend I'm sure. Owner Jerry greeted us in the morning downstairs for breakfast which was also amazing. We'd absolutely stay here again as it was very comfortable and welcoming. There's also a convenient parking garage just passed it on the right that I was told would be 5 euro but did t charge us anything for the overnight.
