Kind of sad to report, but happy to give Matt The Millers credit, for being the first pub we…read moreencountered with live Irish music before 9pm during a seven day trip around the island. 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.

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!

The coquille st Jacques was excellent. The savory sauce did not overwhelm the scallops or shrimp.

We needed to make reservations a day or two ahead. Yikes. We tried the pub by our b&b but the restaurant area has a private party and the bar is full of sports fanatics. So we walk past Lemongrass and like the Thai menu and we see open tables. Bad for them but good for us is that a party of 25 didn't show. Bottom line: we had very good meals beginning with the most incredible dim sim steamed dumplings. They were far superior to any Chinese dumplings that I've had. The waitstaff was super, the atmosphere was bright and pleasant, and they have a gluten free menu. This was a great stumble upon.

I had low expectations as most Asian food we have had to date in Ireland has been a bit disappointing. This place was surprisingly good.

They have some great choices of South East Asian dishes from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and the flavours are great.

Bathrooms are another floor up, across from the kitchens. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen but from the dining room it sounded like they were wrestling or playing soccer up there.

Beer and wine available in single serve bottles. Service was OK, again, nothing to rave about but adequate. If the food were a bit more flavorful this would be a really nice spot.
