Most students from the University or those living in the area probably already been or heard of Kilkenny. I've been here a few times for their wings and dry ribs night and overall Kilkenny's is not the greatest pub to go to. I actually prefer Jamesons right across the street which has a better atmosphere, service and food. I don't really like drinking here because it's pretty expensive for a pint - about $7 for domestic; $8 for import and the bottled beer start at $5.50 for domestic and $7 for import. Their selection is limited and some of their beers don't taste very good. I sometimes feel ripped off. On top of that, their food is dreadful!
Kilks as I like to call it is a pretty big pub with a lot of uncomfortable seats and booths in the front and tucked away in the back. The decor is of an Irish pub, but can be quite dark and loud with a full house. The service sucks, as most of the waitresses don't really care about you and on a busy night it can be extremely slow.
Their wings are very small, cold and dried out especially when it's busy during wings night on Monday. I do however, enjoy their selection of 17 different flavours. Their dry rib special is on Wednesday (3 cents a rib, minimum 10 and maximum 25 with a drink). They are dry, and tough to eat with very little meat on the bone. Guess that's what you get for 3 cents.
The rest of their menu isn't so great either. They have a lot of traditional Irish pub food, burgers, pizzas, and sandwiches. I once ordered their lamb and guinness chedder burger ($14.50) with a side of salad that I didn't enjoy very much. The patty was extremely small compared to the bun and they grilled the burger too much that it tasted burnt. compared to other pubs, this is quite expensive for the quality you are getting.
Overall, Kilkenny's is not the place to go and I would recommend you hop on over to Jamesons!
