    The red is the best!!
    Kim H.

    This was a great stop before our tour of the Kilkenny Castle! It was a little hidden and while it is our kind of place to hangout, we hadn't found it when doing research. The entrance is either through a wine and liquor shop or through a short walkway towards a patio. When we realized that it was a bar/brewery, we were welcomed by a large patio with a super fun atmosphere full of picnic tables, little shed-like rooms with TV's and small groups, and it had plenty of covered areas for when it would rain. We visited on a beautiful sunny day, so the awnings were pulled back and the buildings surrounding the courtyard kept if from getting too windy. The inside of the bar was a typical indoor/outdoor bar and the staff was very helpful with getting us drinks and learning the flow of their process. The outside area had lots of families and some pups. There was a large tour sitting on the inside and each time we got around of drinks, we were able to listen in and learn a little about Sullivan's.

    Had a great time here! We went for lunch after going on a local bike tour. It was conveniently located! They had a huge covered outdoor space that was beautiful but we sat inside. They had a bar and some tables. Despite it being super busy they were timely and great! We started with the red ale and because it was cold some hot tea! Got the garden pizza which was delicious! A cute spot right in the heart of Kilkenny!

    You definitely want to stop at Sullivan's! Whether it's for a beer, snack, or to listen to music... you'll be happy you came here. There's indoor seating, a patio, and on the patio there's cute little houses to sit in if you want a more intimate setting or if you want to hide your kids in them. The food was delicious we had cheese fries one night and pizza another. We ate here twice as we were staying in the loft on the property but highly recommend!!

    We stopped at Sullivan's as part of our tour in Kilkenny. The staff (Kelly) was very knowledgeable about the ales offered and the history of the Sullivan family. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was very pleasant and there were plenty of suveniers.

    Love the pallet furniture in the outdoor covered beer garden

    Love this place. They dont have a huge tap list, but the beers are all local and mostly their own. The pizza is cooked out back in a real wood burning brick oven that is attached to an outdoor covered beer garden. The pizza is thin crust and perfect as a personal pie. When we came in they were having a trivia night which was a lot of fun.

    Cajun chicken pizza

    Great spot for a pint and pizza! There's a cute patio area where you can sit outside. They had a special for a 12inch pizza with a pint for €13! Definitely recommend stopping in!

    A great microbrewery with a tap room just a block or so off the river.The beer itself rivals Smithwicks, and I have noticed it is a favorite amongst the locals. The decor amd atmosphere of the taproom is very welcoming and friendly; it is a great place to spend hours on end, relaxing next to loved ones as you use the free Wifi on their cozy couches. Better yet, they even have homemade pizza. A visit to Kilkenny would not be complete without stopping for a brew at Sullivan's.

    This is a must when visiting Kilkenny. The Sullivans Red Ale was recently recognized as the best Ale in the world. Add a wood fired thin crust pizza and you will be glad you came. They also have a good selection of bottled beers and I would highly recommend the pale ale.

    We got the Chilli con carne, 4 Cheese, and Cajun Chicken. Best meal we've had in all of Ireland! Hands down!

    Best meal we've had in Ireland after being here for 4 days! So so so good. We got the Cajun Chicken, 4 Cheese, Chilli con carne, all delicious!! Also, if you're a fan of cider try their cider on tap!

    Wonderful atmosphere! Sullivan's is a very clean, modern establishment. The beer selection is small but comprised of high quality, local brews. The bartender was very friendly, and the fire-grilled pizza was on point!

    Expect to wait about an hour and a half for a pizza. This might not be ideal if you are limited with time.

    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.
