Hard to find , no signs I recall visible from the street ! Friendly people , I think majority of patrons are tourist ! Great lace for a quick beer and share war stories with fellow tourist! Doesn’t open until around 6 pm . Several places to seat!

Don't this piece of History ! What a wonderful story of saving the past to enjoy in the present and future! Michael is clearly passionate about holding this special gem's place in history ! He will have even more time now to dedicate to that cause~> and to cultivating some new jokes and stories. Can't wait to come back ! Thank you for your hospitality ! All the best !! K & T from CT . (p.s. ~ Thanks for the chance to sprinkle some songs )

Visited again after a few years gap, and it did not disappoint. Quirky, fun and the most sociable venue in town. You arrive as strangers but leave as friends, such is the craic. Once visited, never forgotten - the laughter, songs and stories from Michael and customers from around the world, made our visit memorable - it’s so much more than a 500 year old hostelry.

If cozy and small is your jam, this is the place for you! It is the best little pocket of goodness in Kilkenny. The ambiance lends to natural conversations among the patrons (the best bit). And if a wandering musician happens to stop in, well then, that is when the real magic happens! I hope that someday you will be as lucky as we were with our experiences here.
