Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Had a meal here one evening with friends. Staff had a mixed bunch of lovely friendly people and others who shouldn’t do hospitality!!.. the food was very poor and just about edible - expensive for what we got . There are many many far better places to eat in Kilkenny than here. I doubt if I will return

Came in for lunch and found a beautiful laid out bar. Staff very friendly and helpful. For lunch had the cajun blackened chicken burger with chips absolutely delicious. Dish of the day was half roast chicken and was again delicious *sister comment"
Worth a visit.

We had a lovely lunch with real attention to detail for a few in our group that had various allergies and special requirements. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

We were a large family group covering a wide variety of ages.
The food was awful and the service worse. Some of the party had eaten their first courses by the time the last one arrived. Waiting for all to arrive would have meant letting most of the food go cold. Main course quality and service was no better. 3 bottled drinks of different types were past their best before dates. When we complained, Manager was rude and refused any discount. Blamed staff shortages for issues.

Really lovely bar. Really clean with a cosy, old world feel. Food was excellent at a fair price. The bar tender Olga was really lovely, friendly and pleasant with a lovely warm personality. All in all an excellent visit.

We were staying in Kilkenny for 3 nights and sadly we only stumbled across this bar on our last night. Really cozy atmosphere and very attentive and friendly staff. The gentlemen who were working looked after us and nothing was a problem. Live music was excellent. Will definitely return and would recommend.

The older bar man is one of the rudest people I've ever met. First HE knocked over my drink and blamed me for spilling it when all my friends clearly seen he knocked it then he threatened to have us removed because we were ordering shots. You'd think with the hospitality sector on its knees pubs would be glad of the business
