The Hole In The Wall - Kilkenny Ireland

Cash only and no food. A nice stop along the main street. Off the beaten path but adequate signage to get you to the right spot.

Adorable wee bar/ restaurant in Kilkenney. Lovely staff. It's down an alley. There is a cute outdoor area.

An absolute must in Kilkenny! Great historical pub you can drink in the same place as the Duke of Wellington. Note, it is cash only but well worth it!!

Incredible pub. Don't shy away from the initial small space. It felt like walking into someone's living room. Great conversation with strangers. Warm. Welcoming. Definitely a place to go to when in Kilkenny!

This is probably the best little pub I 've been to in all of my life. A definite 'hole in the wall ', they are a must-stop when in Kilkenny-it 's was a true local experience. The owners, bartenders, and locals hanging out here were the sweetest people. They wanted to hear about our travels, destinations, and were ready to give advice. It was so hard to pick a spot to settle in, as each room offered a cozy atmosphere. There was the outside garden, with beautiful plants everywhere. There was the little library/kitchen area with comfy sofas. and there was the upstairs community type area with picnic tables. In each room, there were posters with histories of the area, Ireland, and beer. It was amazing to tour each room. When we grabbed our beers and settled in, Patrick came to hang out with us, offering insights into Irish drinking activities, he taught us a really fun game named Farkle, to which we immediately went out and bought dice for the rest of our travel time. He also gave us the complete history of the pub. It was such a great experience. I wish we could have stayed longer, and gone back multiple nights.
