Went last night my mom wanted the shepherds pie and we wanted it to go was told they can’t do it to go so we decided to dine in. Was told by O’Neil none of the cocktails were available on the menu we asked for. I got a margarita which was great mom asked for water that she never received. While I’m drinking my drink we are told they have no more shepherds pie i tell them cancel the order and the bartender offers my finished sandwich to the bar back. Why would you complete half the order and not inform the guest the other meal is not available! O’Neil was very unpleasant. Not a smile a thank you nothing it’s like we were annoying to him. Mom paid for my drink and asked me how much to tip. She left $2 on my $15 drink. You think the bartender breathed a word to us, nope not a thing! Picked up the check and the cash with no courtesies. I will never come back.

A service to greater Newark and a 5 minute walk from NJPAC before or after the Symphony or show. Prices are reasonable and ambiance bright and welcoming. A block away from Newatk Museum too.

Food was awful fish and chips came out burnt to the point where the fish was black, French onion soup was made with store bought salad croutons, dspite listing multiple IPAs on their menu the only IPA they had on tap was brewed with pineapple. Bar tenders could've cared less if you were happy with the food or service.

I really enjoy coming here, the drinks are great and food too! The people working behind the bar are fantastic! Place is really chill on weekdays and even weekends! Definitely recommend coming here!

The worst bar experience I’ve ever had. Waited an hour for chicken tenders and fries, missed out on my friends performance that I paid for because they kept “forgetting” about my order. Couldn’t get my money back and they just kept saying 5 mins for 30 mins. Never again. It was not even packed, it was empty because people were actually here for the show they paid for. Inconsiderate staff, horrible.

WoW! A dive bar by the Prudential Center with awesome buffalo wings and fries... how can you go wrong. The bar area is decent sized and the back room can hold more of a dining option. The bartender was cool and great to talk to. FYI: Parking is a bit tricky in this area, but if you come at the right time you may be able to park on the street.

Seems like they have gotten new bartenders. I was treated very nicely and with respect. Will start coming here more often if it stays like this.

This used to be one of my favorite local spots to drop in at any given time. Now that all of the old/good bartenders have left and all basically back to back, this place has been reduced to shambles with their service. All of the new bartenders clearly need serious training on how to even talk to their customers and provide any type of decent service. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone at this point, not even for “happy hour”..as there is nothing happy there with servers like Bruno who looks like he just picks things up and puts them down. I’ve been coming there for over 10 plus years and the new servers have been there for a little over two months and are causing problems that I’ve never experienced with any of the other staff previously. Agreed with the person who posted the picture of Bruno, he needs to be gone asap before you lose all of your regular customers due to the unprofessional behavior and ugliness that comes from him on every shift. Please due better with hiring bartenders who actually make you want to come back as opposed to wish you had never even walked in.

KILKENNY... One of the most beautiful areas in the Republic Of Ireland. And, this fine Pub lives up to it's Irish namesake. Great Food & Drink at the Kilkenny. The Staff is very friendly and helpful. You'll instantly like the Kilkenny Pub for a Pint or two. And, the food is Top Tier. Enjoy yourself!
