Love Paris texts best wings and ribs fab place great staff Travelled from South Wales to meet family from Cavan for a weekend away in Kilkenny for my cousins 30th. Had a meal here on our first night. 13 of us altogether and everything was great. Huge menu choice and everything came out correct. Staff very polite. After the meal we moved into the back lounge area where they had a live musician. The while family enjoyed and would definitely go again if I'm ever in Kilkenny again. great food friendly service and great atmosphere Stephen F.

Great food and service. Well priced too. A bit noisy the last time I was there. Maybe turning down music volume a touch would stop people shouting over it. Lovely spot to meet up after a busy few hours shopping Kourosh N.

Always superb, food excellent, the menu is outstanding with someting for everyone. staff are polite & very attentive. a busy location but always relaxing to visit. one of my favoutite eateries in Kilkenny City. Отличное место. Приятная атмосфера, уютно, можно посидеть компанией и выпить свой любимый напиток. Вежливый персонал. Спасибо Un excellent moment passé en famille fin octobre dans ce restaurant aux allures de Pub. Un comptoir immense, une déco totalement typique irlandaise, beaucoup de monde mais service agréable et d'un bon rythme ! Et que dire de la nourriture, un délice ! Tout était savoureux, poisson, wings, effiloché, ribs, frites et les oignons frits j'en ai encore l'eau à la bouche !!! Tarifs dans la moyenne de l'Irlande (donc un peu chers mais nous sommes sur une île alors...) Un bon souvenir ! Great place for a drink before we went for dinner Stephen B.

Отличное место, получил массу удовольствия от этого места, цены на кухню чуть выше среднего, на пиво отличные цены, зайти большой компанией это именно то место, очень атмосферное и уютное заведение An American Tex-Mex restaurant that's is far better than most Tex-Mex places in the States. Outstanding food! Great selection of beer and whiskey. Mary-Alice W.

Super tasty food great variety so much to choose from. We had our baby with us also so needed extra room for a buggy and that was no problem at all the staff were great. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend mit hervorragender Livemusik und freundlichem Personal in typischer Pub- Atmosphäre im kleinen, vorderen Teil des Restaurants.
