Hole In The Wall

What User likes about Hole In The Wall:
Not a typical pub where you can go belly up to a bar and have a few pints or a meal, but my favorite stop in Kilkenny nonetheless. An absolute can’t miss if you want to hear some fascinating history presented by a very friendly and eccentric bartender. Can’t wait to go again! View all feedback.

large small place with large upper floor and small garden. centrally located but lonely feeling. friendly staff and eating drinks try the espresso martini while it takes. View all feedback.
