The Rafter's Gastropub

We reserved an area with dart board and finger food for a group trip, and it was perfect. Staff were really good fun and even joined in a sing-song at the end of the night. Would definitely recommend Rafter's for a group night out. Note, we didn't stay overnight here but I didn't want to dock marks for that.

Their internet and our roaming services would not work on any of our four devices and they couldn’t fix it. Because we needed to work while there we had to book a new hotel after just being there a few hours. The owner was completely unreasonable and would not credit us anything from our $400! He basically stole our money. Worse possible experience in Ireland! Do t ever go there!!!!

Food at the bar was great . Sienna was very friendly . My little girl finish her delicious pasta and ice cream . I had a lovely pints and chicken burger was delicious. My sister had a vegetarian burger and also very good . Strongly recommend would recommend to anyone .

During our recent stay at Rafters Gastropub and Accommodations in the heart of Kilkenny, I was thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. Nestled in the charming center of this quaint town, Rafters offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its historic surroundings. The accommodations provided were comfortable and cozy. While the beds were satisfactory rather than luxurious, they offered a decent night's sleep, which is essential for any traveler. The en-suite bathroom, though small, was clean and functional, providing all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights of my stay was the continental breakfast. The selection was ample, featuring a variety of fresh pastries, fruits, cereals, and beverages, all of which were of high quality and well-presented. It was a delightful way to start the day before exploring the beautiful town of Kilkenny. The gastropub itself is a gem. The ambiance is both rustic and refined, offering a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal or a drink. The menu features a diverse range of dishes, all prepared with local ingredients and served with a creative flair. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Located in the heart of Kilkenny, Rafters is perfectly situated for anyone looking to explore the town. Everything is within walking distance, making it convenient to visit local attractions, shops, and cultural sites. Overall, Rafters Gastropub and Accommodations provide a delightful stay with satisfactory beds, a well-curated continental breakfast, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Kilkenny. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Had an amazing stay and defo would recommend. The beds are super comfy, and the whole place is very warm and inviting….the steak, wow, probably in the top 2 I’ve ever had. Unfortunately it was only for the one night but I’ll defo be coming back.

Stayed here last night with friends. Received a very warm welcome! All staff members are extremely friendly and helpful. Twin room was small and dated but didn’t bother us as we just needed somewhere to throw the head after drinks. Rooms coule really do with black out blinds or curtains. We were late down for breakfast but the girl obliged us with possibly the nicest breakfast I've ever received in a hotel/b&b. Would definitely stay here again. nothing fancy but comfy clean beds, amazing hospitality and best breakfast ever. Great value for money also
