Wonderful Experience. Plenty of big screen TVs to watch college football. Went there on a Saturday evening and it turned into Saturday night. Great live music and the bar staff really keep up with the high demand for booze!
Didn't go in, but it looked pretty cool. 3 stars
Came here for our Bachelor/ette party over labor day weekend and had a riot! The music was awesome, dance floor was great, food and drinks were phenomenal and their ranch is out of this world!! We had such a great time!! Highly recommended! đ

I LOVED the Jolly Rancher cocktail here, it was a unique menu item and tasted good. Also a really cool interior, fun to hangout.

We were there for lunch Monday and had a horrible experience. We got seated and our server took our drink order. Got them and placed our food order. She never checked back with us and we waited 40 minutes (our order was 2 wedgies and wings). Finally got her attention and she went back to kitchen. A few minutes later she brought back our bills with the food order on them. She DID NOT realize we never got our food!!!!! We had to tell her!!! She then told us we would talk to a manager. A few minutes later she came back with just the bills for the drinks. She made sure to tell us that the âserving person didnât bring our food â and that it was ready now! She had teal hair. There were 4 tables seated after us and they got their food. She didnât even offer to comp the meals. Hope they went to a homeless shelter đ
Drinks were fast. Bartenders we kind. But we went assuming it was open until 2am because that is what was posted on Google. But we were kicked out at 11:40pm and informed a bit rudely by a worker who walked by us. We would have been happy to leave if we were told politely.

Three food was great. We visited here around 830 on a Friday evening. The was already busy and then there was a band at 9. It was super busy, and the service was a little slow. Probably not a place we would visit that late in the evening again.

Barkeeper was doing a great job acting like a DMV employee. Even on a slooow night; bartender wasnât chill or welcoming. Unfortunate since the atmosphere is charming and moody Irish pub.

If I could give zero stars I would. 5 minutes in the waitress discriminated our group and took a drink order for only 4 out of 6 of us. When we asked for drinks for the other 2 they completely cut us off. When the other 4 of the group went to play darts, a dart broke. So we went to the bar to get a new dart. In return, they kicked a member of our party out of the bar. When asked why theyâre kicked out the bouncers/security response was âhe knows what he didâ they had no reason and couldnât give a good reason. Very liberal and over run place. Security runs the whole place. Still wearing masks in 2025. 10/10 would recommend the hotel indigo bar. Ask for Ruby and Drew.
I also went to Kilkennys 2 nights in a row and got served expired High Hoons both nights, they were expired in December 2024, and I was served the drinks in March 2025.
