Sometimes I don't even care about service, which is a good thing at Irish pubs in town. The Kilkenny always takes a while to get food, but it doesn't matter because the beer always keeps coming and it's just a great neighbourhood pub to sip on suds and talk to friends.
They have a nice patio that heats up in the late afternoon. At night, the bar fills up and it's always fun. Like I said, I've never had prompt food service and the food has never been exceptional either, but I keep going back and taking friends from out of town there, so there must be something to the place. It seems to be busy every night of the week and is a great place if you're thirsty and want to chat.
