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.

Malzards was fantastic! I went there with my tour group (EF Ultimate Break) and it felt like a new home! The keeper of the bar, Fred, taught us all about Gaelic hurling and even showed us how to play! Rory was an amazing musician there and kept us partying all night! Fred gave us random instruments from around the bar and had us join in on playing and singing. We sang so loud and for so long that my voice was gone for two days after, but it was so so worth it!! I can honestly say it was the best night of my life and I cannot recommend this place enough. You’ll truly find a second home there!

Learning to pour a perfect pint of Guinness, learning the great sport of Hurling, singing along to some favorite tunes….even sang with the band! Hands down, the best time during my trip to Ireland!

This was one of the most beautiful pubs we visited. The owner gave a wonderful history of this fifth generation pub and he gave a great presentation about hurling. We each got to learn how to pull our own pint and try hitting a sliotar (hurling ball).

We stopped there for an evening. Great family owned local business. Something universal…shop local. I made sure all my shopping was done in small village shops. The food was great, the back grounds hurling lesson was a blast and the fun was genuine. If you are in town, support this family owned business!

Fred and his staff are amazing! Wonderful time learning some about hurling and I even learned to pour my own ale. Great music and service in a family owned pub! There’s nearly as many pubs as sheep in Ireland but this one is special and worth the drive.

This is one of THE BEST experiences. Outside of Waterford, the owner Fred hosts you in his 300 year old family pub teaching you the basics of hurling (why this is characteristic of Irish culture and tradition), tests your skills of pouring a pint, and Irish music. We had too much fun! Well worth the drive. So glad we made the effort. Highlight of the trip.

The owner is amazing. Pub is 200 years in the family, and as a bonus he’ll teach you Hurling on the lawn out back.

we (group of 4) will be in Kilkenny on October 4, 2018. Your place seems like so much fun. Do you need reservations to go in the evening?

No but our bus tour group arrived about 4:30 pm and we did not eat, just drank Guinness etc. The plan was to eat at the hotel where we were staying. If you are going to have a meal then maybe you will require a reservation. Can you email them and ask?
I know you will love the pub...Enjoy!
