    We had some of the best food here during our trip in Ireland. It is approaching a Michelin star. The Redbreast whiskey tasting was plenty for the two of us. Really fine whiskey.

    Not good. Ordered Turkey & Ham. Arrived smothered in beef gravy. Waitress took it away. Manager came back with new dinner, no gravy. Not pleased when I said should tell customers "beef" in dish if not bothered to make turkey, or even onion gravy. Anyway, paid up and left. Not eating there again!

    This is a classic example of a regal bar. There is a beer, wine spirit or beverage for every taste and price. When you walk in you can feel the history oozing from the leather, timber and walls. The staff were very professional and were even polite when after a full day of travelling and I was disappointed that my first beer choice that day was out of stock, hey, it happens. I enjoyed the music, but to each their own. Sláinte

    Had a really nice Caesar salad here, pints of Heineken were really nice too. My mother in law frequently has lunch here and highly recommends it. I'd agree. Can't go wrong if you're looking for a nice lunch and a pint.

    Definitely one of the top bars in the area! Be warned- if you're hopping around between pubs and wind up here you're likely to stay.

    I enjoyed playing music at a great Irish Trad Music Gig in the Hibernian Hotel Bar, Kilkenny, Ireland tonight with Irish friends namely talented Singers and Musicians Father and son duo Rob Chanders Senior and Rob Chanders Junior! Great Craic altogether! 👍🇮🇪🎼🎻🪕☘️

    Live music was great. Bartender tried to fleece me for two extra beers on my bill. Unacceptable. I will not recommend.

  • 5/5 Brianna H. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems a bit more high class, rustic looking bar. Nice people working. Good drinks.

  • 5/5 Carl M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service and a great selection of beers. I tried the pan fried salmon and it was delicious. The burgers are huge, but are cooked very “well-done” style, so they’re also good, just very different from what I’m used to in the United States.
