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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous outdoor area in this place. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our time here overall with friends in the sunshine. However the food was only ok, I ordered the burger and the meat was very bland and the chips weren’t great...so that was a bit disappointing.More

Visited Sullivans when visiting Kilkenny with my family on a lovely sunny evening. The garden was full of happy customers. We were lucky to find the last table outside. A fantastic selection of beers. A nice menu on offer. We all went for the pizzas...with a side of fries. The pizzas were all large size and well cooked. They were all flavoursome and tasty. Definitely well worth a visit and we will return when next in Kilkenny.More

Good outdoor option on a sunny day. We had a sandwiches which were fine, and the chips could have been a little crispier on the outside. Lots of people were ordering pizza which was very large and shareable. There are a lot of beers on...tap (Sullivan’s own brew). You need to order and pay before you sit down, so having a table reserved ahead of time helps. Service was a bit slow, but it was very nice sitting outside.More

We really liked Sullivan’s taproom. The pints were great, the pizza was great, the service was great. We had to wait a bit for the bill as we could see one of the servers was on break, but the young man with the very long...red hair did an amazing job all by himself in the meantime. He was bartending, taking orders and delivery food in lickety split time. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go againMore

We had a lovely dinner here just upon arrival in Kilkenny. The beer was fantastic, the food was warm and tasty...honestly, what more do you need? Would go back here again in a heartbeat. Fortunately, we brought home one of their beautiful pint glasses so...we get to pretend we're there when we most need it.More

One of my favourite places to go in Kilkenny. Pet-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Serves great pizzas and burgers. The covered courtyard is spacious. The staff are fantastic and couldn't be more helpful. Highly recommended.

We arrived a few minutes before Sullivan's opened and Diarmuid let us in and let us order a flight of amazing beers! When the kitchen opened, we asked about what to order and he suggested the special which was pulled pork calzones. We had sweet...potato fries with it, and they were fantastic as well. Diarmuid was so nice he saw us trying to take a selfie and came over and took our picture for us. We asked about his Sullivan's shirt, he showed us where we could buy ours. We were on a tour and I wished we could have spent the day there! A visit to a Pub, turned into a great outing!More

Not only did Sullivans Taproom have great beer they have a huge outdoor patio are to enjoy. The patio is mostly covered so you don’t have to worry about the rain. This is a great venue to take a large group. We were here on...a Tuesday afternoon and almost no one was there but I’m sure it gets busy in the evenings.More

having been walking around Kilkenny for a while we needed to take the weight of the feet and knees so we opted for a mid afternoon drink at Sullivan's. It turned out to be a good choice - the own-brewed stout was excellent, specially when...chased down with an Irish Whiskey.More

Went for a birthday meal, our booking was mixed up so we had to wait for a table as the weather was good and the place was busy. Once we eventually got a seat we had to wait a further 20 minutes to give our...order and waited another 40 minutes for a burger and a pizza which arrived without our chips, and were eaten by the time the chips came. Quality of the food was good but the wait and the mix ups spoiled the meal and the evening in general.More
