    Irish Beef
    Michael Q.

    If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Kilkenny, this ain't it. However, this restaurant really hits the spot for a tired traveler who needs a break in Kilkenny. The place is multiple stories. The first floor is the tea room while the second floor is the restaurant and bar. I ordered the Irish beef which was pretty decent. For the price of the meal, I thought it was a bit overpriced, especially for beef served cafeteria style. The service was decent as well. Maybe not the fastest and not the most welcoming, but it was alright. All in all, this place didn't really impress me, but it did it's job of filling up a hungry customer. I probably wouldn't return again and would rather explore the several other options in the area. I'm glad I wrote this review recently after a visit or else I would have completely forgotten about it.

    Average signature burger and brandless glass pint of Kilkenny :( If you dont have the right glass then lie and say it's all gone

    Not able to give this gastro winner 3 years running in Kilkenny any more than 2 stars. Inside is nice the music is on low during the day. It's family friendly during the day. But the food isn't up to scratch for a gastro winner and I'm not impressed by the Kilkenny pint being served in a normal glass. That's a big no no When in Kilkenny you want to drink Kilkenny and you need the designed tall glass for that all so good feeling when drinking. The head need to stay for more than the first sip. Disappointed will go hunting for the right pint later

    When we stayed in Kilkenny this bar kitchen was open later than most and had wonderful turnaround for our food. Food was good and the whisky was fantastic. The bartender was also very helpful and provided us good conversation. :)

    Good food. Lots of locals were watching a lacrosse game on the big screen. Try the goats cheese and beet appetizer!

    I had a very nice hamburger here. The food was great and the service was very good. I would definitely recommend this place.

    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.

    Located in downtown Kilkenny with parking near the library. My husband and I were the first ones in…read morethe pub around 4:30pm. Shortly after multiple people showed up. 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!

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!

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.
