We attended a special event organised for the Kilkenny Whiskey Guild and everything was just perfect. The hard working and friendly staff bent over backwards for us. The food was superb. Well done all.

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 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.

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 !

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.
