    Fun filled party
    We had our daughter’s party here and I couldn’t have been happier with the service they provided. Jamie was the name of our host and his attention to detail was something to behold, he was so patient and funny with the kids. Most importantly our daughter had a ball but from our perspective it was a great success - food was lovely, it was reasonably priced and we could relax and enjoy watching her with her little friends smiling and laughing.

    Thank you for your review. Attention to detail to make sure everyone has a good time, including parents, is very important to us. I will let Jamie know your comments. Hope to see you back with us soon

    No Stress Birthday party
    We had our son's birthday party and it was great. Our host Elea looked after us from start to finish and was great with the kids. Takes the whole hassle out of having a party. A big well done to kbowl and it was reasonably priced as well. 10 out of 10

    Thank you for your review, we think Elea is great also and were delighted to be part of your son's birthday celebrations. Looking forward to seeing you back with us soon.

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.

Kbowl Bowling
Jan 2023 • Family
Bowling at Kbowl Kilkenny was an excellent family activity suitable for every age to do in a very good facility located next to the shopping centre in Kilkenny city - the facilities were clean, warm & welcoming and the bowling was fairly priced - the staff were very helpful & friendly and the bowling was so much fun … sometimes it’s hard to pick an activity to suit all ages but bowling is definitely one that keeps young & old / male & female happy and Kbowl Kilkenny certainly deliver on the experience in terms of facilities, value for money and fun - we will definitely be back again.

Christmas staff night out
Dec 2022
Was there on Saturday night for christmas staff night out. We choose a package with the advice of a male employee of K Bowling. Our package included 2 hours of bowling with finger food included and bring your own drfink and they would supply a fridge. Approx twenty mins into our game activity, we were approched by a female staff member and was told that we had the incorrect package. My colleague proceeded to tell the staff member that she had spoken on two occasions to K Bowling prior to our staff night out and everything seemed in order.
The staff member said there must have been a mistake made and would not even apologise. We were asked to pay another €75 if we wanted to continue our xmas night out. Of course my collage had to do this so as not to ruin the night for her staff. To anyone booking with K Bowling, get your booking in writing either by email or letter. We found the staff very rude, and food 4/10. Just like to say to K bowling that you did indeed put a damper on our night out and we most definitely will not be back.
