The whole experience is very good! Vintage style restaurant with tasty food and drinks. Staff are super friendly and helpful, and it has both smoking and non smoking areas. Much recommended when in Kilkenny. Try the Chilly Milly drink too :D

D. W.

Lovely place, a fair selection of bottled and tapped beverages, there is parking close by and the food is pretty good, Bar staff are super friendly I would happily reconnect this place abs cannot wait to return

Such a great place for our first dinner in Kilkenny! Located right across the bridge. We got seated right away upstairs and I ordered the fish and chips which were amazing and came as a huge portion. Also they have the best hot chocolate here! The main plus of this place is the live music. We returned later that evening and the next day for their live music with different bands and lots of dancing. They did have a cover charge one night of 5 euros but it was worth it for the good times and the band was playing up until 3am and taking song requests. Definitely the place to go for some fun night life. They also have bouncers at the front door checking Ids and tons of drink options to choose from.

Great food for our first night in Ireland. We tried to go to another bar but moved on after we found out they were only serving tacos, so glad we came here instead. The place is very interesting with lots of floors and levels and stairs. They had live music playing, we only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. We ordered the Guinness Stew and fish and chips. The fish and chips is a little different since it's breaded, not battered, but it was still really good, Tartar sauce was just the right amount of horseradish. The stew was definitely the highlight. Absolutely amazing. I tried stew in another place later and this one was much more flavorful and the meat was very tender. The bread with the stew was good, but not the best we had during our week in Ireland.

M. G.

Great atmosphere, fantastic food and beer, nice and professional staff. Simply - good stuff in Kilkenny. Hope to come back.

C. M.

Absolutely fantastic night!!! It was our first time visiting.. Will most definitely be back again.. After Dark are an absolutely phenomenal band!!!!

G. C.

Great pint, lovely staff would recommend highly

What a fantastic night! We were looking for a good place to eat and listen to Irish music, and this seemed like a good choice. The pub was quite full when we arrived, so we were asked to wait at the bar as a table would be available soon, and it was ready in about two minutes. Very good, thoughtful service, nice choice of dishes and drinks. We went for a house special and chicken fettucine. Both dishes were delicious and really well served! We shared the cheesecake of the day to follow, and it was also very nice. The band playing just made the place even more special and typically Irish. We warmly recommend this place!

P. F.

Food not as good as it used to be. Needs a touch up of paint. Very poor when it came to covid certification and details, it was like they couldn't be bothered with it.

Great bar and restaurant on many floors. We arrived late in the evening to a busy bar bustling with people of all ages having drinks and the craic. We made our way up stairs and ordered food and cocktails. We had a window seat and it was lovely to watch the rain hitting the river which made us want to stay in Matt the Millers even more. We kept ordering drinks and the place got busier and busier. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff and locals were so friendly.

K. T.

Good music*, and really good food. Had the beef 'n Guinness stew the first night loads of meat, came back for the Clonskilty chicken the second night. Deserts looked really good, but was too full. *would have been better if it was a touch quieter whilst the place was serving more food than beer, but just about possible to hold a conversation.

C. O.

A really nice bar bit very expensive drinks. This is the only reason, that I would not go here again. 5.40 euro for a spirit without a mixer. I'd say it is a lively bar on weekends, ai just can't pay the Dublin prices in good conciense 😅. The actual bar is really nice though, besides that, with plenty of nooks and crannies to sit in. :)

J. R.

We ordered the bar mix and Cesar salad. The chicken wings weren't the greatest. They were a bit burnt and the chicken didn't taste great. The potato wedges were good. The little sausages were ok. The pub had cool vibe and the wait staff super friendly.

L. T.

Really traditional pub. Good friendly staff. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. We went midweek afternoon had a few drinks and chips. Loved it. Great place to sit and chat with friends

E. B.

Bright welcoming building across the river. Easy walk from anywhere in town. We sat on the second floor with a window overlooking the water and castle. Listened to live music. Loved our meal. Delicious food with good sized portions. Enjoyed dessert too- recommend the apple pie with warm custard poured over it.

m. c.

Lovely staff more than helpful. The food and drink is fantastic. The staff were excellent. Highly recomend

E. W.

Excellent service, very relaxed casual atmosphere, suitably Irish. Live band in the evenings singing well-known Irish songs, good singers, too! Great food and excellent prices! What more can one ask for in a restaurant! 😀

M. W.

Three stories tall with seating on the first and second levels. The kitchen and bathrooms are on the third level. Great beef stew! Even better with a pint of Guiness or Smithwick's to go with it. I recommend this place if you're a tourist wanting an Irish lunch or dinner.

P. C.

Food good and service good also there were 6 adults and two children and the staff went out of there way to accommodate us

T. v. d. L.

Really nice place to get something to eat! Every night from 6 to 9 pm they play Irish music which sounds awesome! We were only there an hour to get dinner but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm positive the late and early hours are fun too! Also, very friendly staff and good food. Can't go wrong.

K. M.

If you've had a s..t day go there. Have a drink and forget the rest.. music daily to drain away our worries. Try it. I did. That was 2 years ago. I went yesterday and it was quiet and no music. Kilkenny was like a ghost then come 8 at night. That's the Pandemic for you. Still I enjoyed my pint..

R. E.

One of two pubs we experienced while touring Ireland. Got there early. Great live music. Great beer and food! Right on the water (go for a sunrise run along the waterway here too!)

G. X.

I'm a Canadian in Ireland. My husband and I stopped in for lunch at it was super! Check this place out

J. B.

Loved it here. We were treated like family and the foot was excellent. It design on the inside is very Irish Pub and helps promote the atmosphere.

J. L.

Worth the walk just to get some great views of the castle over the river! We had pizza for lunch. Good service, pizza was good too!

D. F.

Worth the trip across the bridge. The house band is amazing. Great Irish songs with guitar, flute, and accordion. The beer is cold and the atmosphere is fantastic.

S. V.

A nice castle, nice history behind it too, so good to ask questions of the guides standing around. 8e adult, 4e student and senior tickets.

B. M.

Really friendly staff and a nice pub. Was in with young child and they went out of their way to bring over crayons and colouring.

D. M.

Great food, very friendly staff. I had the pulled pork sandwich daily special. See picture. Live music was there too. And the guys were good.

L. F.

Great spot. Delicious food and fast, friendly service - would definitely visit again 👌🏻

Small simple menu done very well. Very welcoming with a bit friendly banter from the staff. Great evening with the family.

R. C.

Lovely location with a beautiful view of the river. The food here was delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Outdoor dining was a great experience here. We will be back

W. B.

Fantastic Irish pub with live Irish folk music and great pub fare. They also have a wide selection of craft beers on tap. Highly recommended.

J. D.

Excellent food, excellent beer and whiskey and fast and friendly waiters! If I'm ever in Kilkenny again I will definitely come here for a second time.

T. P.

Lovely bar, great service and great beer. Give it a try.

T. S.

Very delicious food and pleasant atmosphere. We loved tbe Irish coffee :)

J. K.

Great, cozy place for a pint of Kilkenny Nitro Ale, which we used to be able to get in the States. Awesome, scenic location too, we loved Kilkenny the town.

W. B.

Right on the river in Kilkenny city 2 minute walk from centre . Great food, drinks, & music. You won't be disappointed

J. K.

Had a 3 night stay in kilkenny and 1st night we ate in hotel and it was bad(won't be going there again).As a professional courtesy I won't mention the hotel.I have given a review already.Found Matt the Millers,food was fantastic,service too.Had the wings for starters and fish and chips main.Was bloody delicious.Ended coming back again next night food was so good.Thanks for making our 3 days worthwhile.I highly recommended this establishment and will be back 😀

J. R.

This place is awesome. Friendly folks that want to make your experience as nice and possible. The food and drinks were great

p. p.

Stopped by for a quick pint. Live music commonly on the venue. Larger interior than you think. Can have quieter conversation upstairs. Quick service

M. L. P.

Had the tortellini in a creamy rose sauce with a nice cider. The tortellini was fine, but could have used more seasoning to make it pop a bit more. The garlic bread was good as well, but also could have used a bit more salt.

b. f.

Nice bars on so many levels, staff were amazing. Food was top notch, but menu could be a bit more expansive. Cocktails were great and of proper size. Fabulous gin and whiskey lists. Will defo recommend and return for sure

J. T.

Excellent food but service was a bit slow, maybe due to second day out of lock down. Worth the wait though.

M. K.

Went here for food. Had the Guinness and beef stew. Gorgeous. Reasonable price.

L. C.

Great spot to hav a drink in Kilkenny. Nice and relaxed

J. F.

The food, service and vibe is awesome here. Wife loved the vegetable soup I loved the Irish breakfast and the "Guinness stew". Would definitely go back.

C. M. m.

Lovely old pub good atmosphere and staff excellent

A. D.

A very nice spot that is located nicely in Kilkenny town. The chicken and pesto pizza here was lovely and it held its heat for the duration of the meal. They also do a nice pasta dish too and by all accounts the beef stew is very well executed. The staff here are helpful and very well organised. This place has a nice athmosphere also.

T. S.

Brilliant staff and food amazing. Highly recommended if staying in kilkenny city.

t.

A really cool bar set over a few different levels. Music is great with really good variety catering for everyone. Been midweek and weekend and the bar is always busy. Can't comment on the food yet but if it's as good as the atmosphere I'll have to try it soon.

O.

Love this place, good food, great service.

T. P.

Food is lovely, staff are lovely but think the food is slightly overpriced for bar food

K. M.

Delicious food and friendly staff. Nice view of the town and close proximity to Kilkenny Castle which we walked from.

H. H.

LOVE this bar. I can't say enough good things. They have great food, great service, great beers and whiskey and great live music. I believe they have live Irish music every night. We were in town two days and came here both days because we loved it so much. Such a cool bar with so much history and old memorabilia.

P. C.

Had bar food here, it was good as bar food goes. Good service.

S. K.

Great food, lovely hosts and a Kilkenny... or two... or...

D. R.

Great place, the food was lovely and they gave a good extensive menu. Plus there is a range of Gins which is very well appreciated. The pub has lovely old decor, lots of booths and nooks but also seems nice and open. The staff are lovely, helpful and very friendly. I would most certainly return and recommend it to anyone.

N. K.

Nice pint and very welcoming bar staff 👍

D. J.

the beer and food here was good, nice staff wish we stayed for the live music.

M. H.

We had gone in the off season so the venue wasn't packed. It has plenty of space to accommodate large groups. It's directly across from the River Court Hotel making it a cheaper dining venue than the ones at the hotel if you want simple pub food and drink. The waiting staff were helpful and the music was good. I wasn't a fan of the cleanliness of the bathrooms and my food could have been a little warmer.

S. L.

Great service, great drinks, yummy food. The music here was incredible!! We stayed for the trad music earlier in the night and for Damien Carroll later on and both were amazing! If you want a relaxed atmosphere in a typical pub setting with lots to look at this is your place!

T. C.

Lovely meal staff very friendly

c. m.

After Dark were excellent, had a great night

P. F.

Tradicional Irish pub in Kilkenny city center. Best quality food and very good beer. I loved it.

D. M.

fantastic spot nightlife and live music pre covid was great, food is amazing staff very approachable and friendly

M. L.

Great vibes. Had a pint or two and enjoyed the live music

B. W.

4 people in different towns recommended this bar/eatery so we figured it was worth checking out. The service was fast and friendly. The food arrived quickly and was served hot. Quality was good. The beer was cold and the live music was lively and did not know our eardrums out which was nice. The ambiance here is like a casual local place. Patrons all were having a good time and I bet you will too. Bring your friends or make some new ones.

S. T.

Matt's is a nice spot for a pint, I'm not very fond of the food. Anywhere still serving frozen fries/chips is a no go for me. So much easier to peel a few potatoes. Didn't like the spare ribs either unfortunately

S. B.

Lovely place to eat and drink. Live music too (not too loud, the perfect atmosphere). I think this is the real Irish pub experience, the right mix of nice people, loud guests, sports, live music, good beer, tasty food...

A. S.

Great lively pub. We went for an early evening drink and the place was already packed and lively with people cheering the semifinal game of Gaelic football. We had some drinks and shared a platter of potato wedges, little eggrolls, chicken and sausages. There are many other "healthier" options that look nice too. You can park the car at Market Yard across the river. There's live band.

K. A.

One of the best pubs we went to in all of Ireland. The best seafood chowder I had on the trip (I had many) the baked brie was delicious as was the burger, lots of cool things to look at inside, great music of course. Very cool building.

L. B.

A lively traditional Irish bar. We only had a short stop here for a pint but the drinks were good. The staff friendly and the environment is relaxed and comfortable. Live music when we arrive and a second groups started at about 11 just as we left.

C. M.

The staff were friendly and great craic. The food was gorgeous. I had the steak and the missus had the pizza. The banoffee cheesecake makes me want to travel back already.

C. K.

The music was GREAT, the drinks were good, the food wasn't bad. My wife had the warm goat cheese salad and she enjoyed it. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, which only comes well done because of the mad cow disease scare a few years back. If you're American and like your burgers Medium/Medium Rare... Order a steak instead. We were there for the Irish music which went from 6:30-9, which was really the best part of the experience. The waiter we had was nice but it seemed like he had too many tables to handle and we felt neglected. He dropped off our food and ran away before I could ask him for ketchup. I tried to get his attention unsuccessfully and ended up needing to walk up to the bar to get ketchup myself. There was no midmeal check-in to ask if we needed anything and it wasn't until after we were both done eating that he finally came back. I was leaning towards 3 stars but my wife really enjoyed her salad and the music was great so I bumped it up to a 4.

S. C.

Warm welcome, good food and Guinness.

M. G.

Dropped in for a quick pint before my train. Missed 3 trains and left 10 hours later. Great bar. Great Guinness. Great staff. Definitely worth a visit. I was there on a Sunday but I can see it being a lively spot. But maybe best to visit when you don't have to catch any form of public transport.

C. K.

The roast beef special today was so good. Tender roast beef with gravy, mixed vegetables, roasted potato, mashed potatoes and a popover. Delicious food, great service, reasonable prices, welcoming and friendly staff and great music. Highly recommend.

T. K.

Nice atmosphere but food was a bit pricey.

C. P. A.

Amazing food and atmosphere!

C. H.

Food was lovely and reasonable priced. Friendly and efficient service. Visited during Covid but felt safe as they were adhering strictly to HSE recommendations. Menu to suit all tastes. Would definitely return.

E. B.

Excellent food! Definitely recommend the spicy wedges. They also have a vegan menu you can request - the warm chickpea salad was particularly excellent. Also, there is a particular portrait near the bar that Harry Potter fans will especially enjoy...

M. P.

Verry good food. Verry good live music. Verry good beer. Excellent and verry friendly service.

R. H.

Awesome atmosphere and amazing food and music

M. P.

Absolutely loved this pub. A must visit in Kilkenny.

E. G.

Went in for a quick lunch and had a delicious meal and excellent service! My husband got the roast beef special that was absolutely insane. My falafel wrap was very good, and Matt's fries were in fact cooked perfectly.

S. C.

Great atmosphere. Went here with a group of 14 and even though we hadn't booked and it was starting to get busy they managed to accommodate us within a few minutes. The food is perfectly fine - it's not 'fine dining' but for the price, excellent service and live music it's great. Multiple levels and bars. Very good fun.

D. W.

Great pub with lovely food

B. B.

Great bar and the live music was outstanding! I'm not sure the name of the band that plays Monday nights but they can rock- they did back to back songs from Queen and played them perfectly! The whole place was singing along, so much fun!

R. H.

Had some crispy brie for a spot of lunch, which was lovely. The pub is lovely and the epitome of the Irish pubs. Good atmosphere nice staff and great beers.

B. D.

Great place great staff great food and amazing pints

K. M.

Amazing night here with trad band, clean toilets, nice staff and wide variety of drinks. We were lucky to get seats too. Downstairs bar closed for some reason. The only thing they're missing is food or at least more snacks. They only have nuts

E. M.

Loved it! The music was perfect, not crazy loud, fun, beautiful music. The food was great, we had the cauliflower soup, the beef stew and the tortellini. All very good!

H. R.

Lovely food and staff.

P. D. M.

Wonderful food, nice people and comfy atmosphere. My husband thought the fishsoup was soooooooooo good we were contemplating on begging to buy a portion or 2 to take home... (it was our last night in Ireland and we really didn't want to leave) Well, it all was so good, it's hard to make a choice...

R. L.

Good food. We couldn't finish our meals as we were so full. Loved the live music and walking around town. Beer was good as always in Ireland.

P. R.

Visited in mid August. On a Friday evening. Seems to be a popular place for wedding and shower events. My burger was ok, but my wife raved about how the salad was better than the previous day's salad at the country club. Goooo bar food! Fun ambiance! Reasonable prices.

J. D.

SO GOOD. get the Irish breakfast or the Seafood Chowder!

C. R.

Probably the best restaurant we visited in our Ireland adventures. They were really on top of each table even though they were really busy. I had the black pudding chicken and it was amazing.

L. M.

An amazing food!! I absolutely will come back. The place is really nice and the staff were perfect. There was music during our dinning and it's perfect for a beer. I love this place!!

A. S.

Excellent atmosphere & excellent food. The waiter was great & had an amazing personality. Been our favorite place to eat so far in our journey.

J. B.

Underground cave bar is very cool

A. G.

Great pints and great tasty food! Good music too!

P. K.

Fantastic Beef and Guinness stew and really tasty seafood chowder. Very friendly staff also and it's nice to sit back and listen to the musicians. Highly recommended if you're visiting Kilkenny.

R. M.

The best chicken wings I've ever tasted

H. S.

The best food I've ever had! Visited this place on my holidays over a year ago and still havnt found anywhere as good. They had the most delicious pasta dish. 10/10 would recommend!

M. M.

Mediocre food. My daughter has had fish and chips 5 times now in a week while visiting. This was the least favorite. Dry on the inside and seems likely they came frozen. Seafood chowder was fishy tasting and smelling, and not in the fresh made-from-fish kind of way. My other daughters kids buttered pasta was even over cooked and mushy Good reliable music most, if not every night. Although can't see the musicians from all tables

a. j.

typical Irish bar in Kilkenny. Had a pint of Kilkenny there.

P. J.

Great place to eat & listen to some Irish music with friends or family. We went as a family of 4 and had a lovely time. Strongly recommend the Goat cheese salad. Kids were amused by the painting of a moving man :)

J. M.

We stayed in Kilkenny on our cross country trip and ended up eating at this establishment. The first impression wasn't great as we weren't greeted by a server for quite a while. Once we ordered we also had some confusion with other servers who weren't aware of who was in charge of our table. Also, once we were finished, our server came to us and tried to take our order as though we had just arrived. This was even before our bill came. So service was not fantastic. All that being said, the food was quite good and worth the wait. First, the chowder. We have made a point of ordering the seafood chowder whenever it is served at a restaurant. It was honestly the best seafood chowder I have ever eaten. It was meaty, thick, and flavorful. This alone made our walk worth it. The Ceasars salad that my wife ordered was also very generous and tasty. Some lettuce did get warm because of the hot chicken breast they put on top but it did not take away the taste. The fish was also above average. It was a bit tough for my liking but it was well prepared and flavorful. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

J. B.

Staff are so friendly and helpful food and drink was great

W. L. S.

Excellent drinks and atmosphere. The people there were very welcoming and despite it's small size, the pub gets packed on a weekend evening and the bar staff keeps up with the crowd

D. M.

Had drinks early in the evening and thought it was a nice place ,came back that night for the live music and it was brilliant place with great atmosphere. The next day we stopped here for lunch and I had the stew...it was absolutely delicious!

C.

Food was great. Called in with my wife and 2 young kids. Staff were friendly, and good choice on menu. Food was a lot better than at hotel we've been staying at. Highly recommend

S. K.

Good place to head for a wild atmosphere and zero judgement. The music was eclectic to say the least but for someone in there mid 30s or older you will appreciate the mix as long as you have a good sense of humour and no sense of rhythm.

J. L.

What a gem! My wife and I ate here twice during our time in the lovely town of Kilkenny. It's a very nice walk to the pub. You walk along the bridge over the river Nore with a picturesque view of Kilkenny Castle at your back. The setting inside is very Ireland centric, but dont worry about not knowing what to do when you enter, someone will come right up and greet you. With some of the more rural pubs, the customs are different then you may be used to back home (I'm from the US), this is not the case with Matt the Millers, so don't feel anxious. If you you are wondering what to eat....hands down it's the Meadevil Beef and Guinness Stew. The whole rest of our trip in Ireland, all other beef stews were compared to it and nothing came close. Overall it's a simple yet comfortable place. It has a great menue, diverse drink list, and sometimes even live musical entertainment. I highly recommend it!

N. o.

This one of the most amazing places in Ireland.I was here on a Monday night and you couldn't tell the difference with a friday or Saturday night..Great live band music,cocktails affordable and staff very great..Had a great night and will definitely visit again on another Monday night😁😁

M. B.

Was recommended by a friend back in London. Have to say it didn't disappoint. Lovely bar with live Irish music. Great atmosphere, helpful friendly staff and food was delicious. 🙂🙂🙂

E. M. P.

Tasty meal and better service, kind and quickly. The views are nice if you choose a window table and the ambient is cossy. Prices start at 6,5 euros more or less.

T. J.

Went for lunch. Ten of us, they couldn't seat us together, so were at two tables. Staff struggled with getting our orders out to the correct individual. Food was good. Had to find our server to get the bill.

C. M.

Great pub. Friendly staff, great music and amazing food!! Ribs were absolutely gorgeous and the apple pie was 5 star!! Will definately come back.

v.

Great place, was here for a bit of lunch and a drink last month, staff are friendly, atmosphere is very good and the food is great too. If you are in kilkenny drop in for a couple of beers well worth the visit

T. M.

Good food, Traditional Irish music

J. C.

Food was alright, music was also OK. Menu had good variety. Asked my food with no ham coz I eat kosher, and they gave me pork sausages.. Had to ask them to replace it, kitchen was closed, so they just removed the sausages, and refunded me with half the price. Drinks are a bit overpriced. 2.90 euro for half a pint of coke, no refills.

Q.

Couldn't recommend this place enough. The food was delicious, I had the Duck which came with a sausage fresh veggies, mash and topped with a sweet glaze. The Drinks and service were also great. A definite place to go if your in town.

E. M.

Staff very attentive while social distancing. Food good, well presented and priced. I would recommend this place

T. B.

The soup was the best thing I ate in Ireland, but the service was pretty slow. We weren’t in a rush, so no big deal... but plan on staying for awhile.

N. A.

Great Service and atmosphere! I ordered Matt’s special Clonakilty chicken and it was full of flavour. Absolutely delicious! Would definitely come here again.

U. M.

Great bar, great fun

A. M.

Love this spot usually a 5 out of 5 but due to covid.

J. C.

Really great food and service. Not what you would expect from pub food. So much better. Seafood chowder is amazing. Would highly recommend!

K. H.

One of the finest establishments in Kilkenny. They pay great attention to the quality of the food they serve. I have never been disappointed at any level in Matts, because when your done eating, you can stay and enjoy the Craic and great entertainment and feel the hospitality that radiates naturally from the staff. Top Notch venue!!

P. E.

We followed the recommendation of the owner of the hotel where we stayed, and indeed, we were not disappointed. Excellent atmosphere, good live music (starting at 18:00), tasty food and good service. recommended.

C. “. M.

Food a bit average and overpriced. On the positive side, friendly staff and good service. Hand sanitizer stations in several places.

A. G.

Irish environment, nice people, excellent beer and good staff!

C. Y.

Great service. Great beer. Great food. All in an authentic Irish Pub setting. Lovely place for lunch!!!

J.

Great place to go on a Monday night excellent atmosphere and great band.

J. T.

Great spot for a bite to eat and a few pints with a few buddies. The staff were good craic and very knowledgeable about the beers on tap. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Kilkenny.

T. H.

Great Bar Service on Sunday 18th Feb attentive barman, who looked like a barman, served like a barman, looked around the bar and checked and tended on the clientele like a barman should, a dying art and attribute. Fair play and a Jameson Black Barrel excellently served.

C.

This was a fantastic pub to visit. We popped in for the one on our way home and ended up staying here till closing time. The building itself is massive and has many floors which is always a positive thing. The staff were very friendly.

F. O.

We had a great time having lunch at this place. The food is just amazing! Hope to come back someday!

P. L.

Large pub with many corners to hide in while you sip or admire the view that passes looking for a set. Always a conversation to be had. Great Craic and gins to make you sin.

P. S.

Friendly traditional bar, great food, good choice of beers, live music and helpful staff. Nice location by the river with a view of the castle.

B. O.

Excellent food excellent service lovely atmosphere

א. ר.

A very autentic place. Great atmosphere great music and the best food. We enjoyed especially the chowder.that tasted like heaven. When you are in kilkenny you must come to this irish pub.

F. W.

Sprawling pub, restaurant and live music complex right on the river in a beautiful old stone building. Traditional Irish good with some tweaks for the tourism crowds. Good craft beer selection.

This multi-level bar is really happening on the weekends - full of stag parties, locals and tourists all enjoying live music and the company of others. We find refuge on the 2nd floor where it wasn't too crowded and there was a hen party having a good time and dancing to the music without being harassed by the swarms of men down below. Upstairs there seems to be a smoking lounge, which is to say it was a little bit for everyone. We will never forget Kenny Kilkenny from the Midlands!
