What Our Clients Say
This place is a MUST see when you visit Kilkenny. I went with a tour group and they had us stop at this pub to teach us about hurling and to have a pint after. That night was one of the most memorable nights of my life. I cannot say enough good things about this place! Also...they have COWS.
Fred Malzard greeted us on entry and saw us to the door with all the geniality and kindness that his true Irish heritage might suggest. His establishment is a world-class experience. Bring friends for an evening of fun.
Such a fun way to start our trip around Ireland. Super friendly and fun owners! We started outside with some lessons and fun with Hurling and then back into the pub for a pint, great music and comaraderie! A true pub experience
