If you've ever lived in the NW, surely you've been to The Kilkenny. The standard North American Irish pub in the neighbourhood, the place is always busy.
The pub is big, with a front and a back section and ample seating. The food's as good as any pub in Calgary, although they do a mean mushroom soup.
Good food, good service, if you've been to a typical Irish pub before, you'll know what to expect here.
