Pub dining is an oxymoron. Kilkenny's does it as well as any pub in Calgary that I know, but the standard of pub food is pretty low in this city.
Rated as a pub it fares much better. Actually, It's a sports bar in Irish pub disguise. Numerous big tv's and that relentless stream of blah blah pop music.
They do pour a nice Guiness, and for that just about anything can be overlooked.
No complaints with Kilkenny's, just with the current state of the art for pubs and pub food in Calgary .
