The pub downstairs has been family owned for 3 generations. The staff and patrons are very welcoming. If you enjoy having a few drinks, you have a room that is just above the bar! No driving necessary for a night out. The pub closes around 11:00 pm on most week nights, so noise isn’t a problem late at night. I recommend taking the tour at the Smithwick’s brewery and getting a coffee and a pastry at Cakeface. They’re about a 10 min walk away. Asian takeout food is conveniently located across the street from the Kilkenny house too.
