Had a boxty with meat and mushrooms along with a side of oyster bread stuffing. The boxty is a potato pancake that is filled with several possible fillings. The one I chose was beef and mushrooms. Another version had shrimp, crawfish, etc. The boxty was very good. The oyster bread stuffing side was equally good. I can't say that when I am hungry I think of Irish food but this was a very good meal. Kilkennys is a good place to have a beer and a good meal. Service was very good also.
Review Source:Kilkenny's is a bit kitschy, but I just got back from Ireland, and it does resemble an Irish pub--dark wood, deep tones, nick-nacks--it's just that Irish pubs don't have stuff with "Ireland" or "Irish" written all over them. Â However, the food at Kilkenny's is three times better than at any pub I tried in Ireland--there's actually green veggies like broccoli here! Â My favorite is the cedar plank salmon with the sauteed veggies and gratin potatoes. Â Not the best beer selection in town, but getting better. Â They have 3 Irish, 4 German, and 2 local craft brews (Marshalls and Coop F5) on tap.
Review Source:My husband and I stopped in here for a quick drink in the afternoon. I got some recommendations from locals saying this is a good bar to check out on Cherry Street so we thought we would stay in. Typical dark Irish pub feel with all the mahogany/cherry wood seating. The seating by the bar was actually a little crowded, but we managed to find a place to squeeze in. The bartender was super friendly. Â My husband enjoyed his local beer, it's just that we didn't see the bar later in the evening when it is said to be a pretty hoppin' place.
Review Source:This place is fantastic. It is casual enough for an any-occasion place, but can also be formal enough for a date.
I have been going here since they opened and I have never once had poor service. The cuisine is authentic and you can talk to the owner's whenever you are in about their mission for the restaurant in light of that fact.
The baked brie is probably my favorite thing on the menu. Totally worth the money and it is perfect to share. Glorious beer selection, and the desserts are pure heaven.
Also, find out when they do live music!
This place is great for groups and families, for an intimate night out, or just grab a seat at the bar and watch the game.
For a better, more authentic Irish pub experience you'd have to go to either Boston or Ireland. I'm serious about that. I travel all over the country as a pilot and visit Irish pubs everywhere. Kilkenny's is one of the best. It also happens to be within a quick walk from my house. How did I get so lucky?
Go there, try it, love it!
PUB! Â Open late and food is English pub! Â Loved the scotch flights! Â I did several high end single malts. Our bartender was very helpful and knowledgable. Flights available in other whiskeys also...great way to try different tastes without buying the whole drink!
Saw alot of people ordering fish and chips which is the house speciality!
Tulsans love this place, but I'm not sure why... In short, it was just okay, probably 2.5 stars rather than a solid 2.
The place is serpentine and enormous -- kind of like the menu! In fact, the overstuffed menu should be a give-away that they are doing too too TOO much to do it all well... I wonder whether they'd consider paring down so as to improve the quality of what remains.
The salmon in my "mooncoin" boxty was a bit "fishy" (i.e., probably not the freshest...) and the vegetables accompanying it were clearly steamed from frozen with absolutely no flavor whatsoever. I asked for a side of lemons so as to at least give them some acidity. The sauce in the boxty was quite good, but not enough to save the dish from the salmon and vegetables' lackluster flavors.
My BF's chicken cordon bleu was similarly meh. We enjoyed the Irish chips accompanying it.
His lemonade was not freshly made (one of the sugary ones on the fountain), but to be fair, the server was upfront about that.
In short, we'd go back if other options were closed and we were craving a pint and a boisterous pub atmosphere. But the food is not a draw in itself.
Supposedly you can by an Irish Themed Pub in a Box and have it shipped to the US. Â I don't know if this is what Kilkenny's has done, but whatever there history, it seems to have worked out.
My personal theory that cherry street is packed on Fridays compared to downtown on Saturdays, holds true at this Cherry Street staple. Â Honestly, though, I have never been to this place when it isn't jammed packed.
Beer variety varies depending on the season, but traditional Irish favorites are always there. Â The prices are fairly reasonable at $4-$6 a beer. Â They also have several takes on different mixes of beer. Â
The menu is huge. Â They used to just have a monthly themed special menu, but now they seem to have a permanent specialty burger menu as well. Â Yes, the burgers are okay, but really why do you want a burger at a place like this. Â If you are pretending to be at a pub, you might was well eat traditional pub food.
The boxties, which are hash brown "pancakes" with various stuffings are good. Â The corned beef or bangers and mash never disappointment. Â If you want really good fish and chips, this is the place to go in Tulsa.
Short story: Â Stick with the "traditional" menu items and get a Guinness.
I had the pil town portabello cap that was outstanding!! Â The oyster sauce that was either in the stuffing or the shroom cap but either way it was aaammaaazzziinnnggg! Â I also had the caique inlet with shrimp, cold water lobster and either a clams or oysters but either way I loved it. Let me submit up here, this is some of the best food I have had in a long time and that is not the black n tan talkin!!!!!
Review Source:LOCATION: Parking is available on the street and also in the back. At night, the sign isn't too huge or bright so keep your eyes open to the North side of 15th street (on the same side of Hideaway pizza)
INTERIOR: As soon as I walked in, I felt a homey vibe. The walls had built in shelves which had books and different ornaments. Old fashioned vibe with dim lights. Wood floors and walls. It felt as if I walked into a movie set.
DRINKS: I loved how they categorized their drinks. Simple, easy to follow and some of their special mix drinks are a must. A lot of Guinness mixed with other drinks. Their Pear cider is definitely worth trying.
FOOD: Since it was my first time hearing about "Boxty" I decided to give it a try. Ordered the Craigue Boxty per recommendations of our server. I thought I'd feel pretty gross after eating it (because of all the O Fredo Cream sauce and high starch) but I was actually pretty pleased with the size and richness of the sauce. Wasn't too thick as it looked and the veggies were great. I was told that you could never go wrong with a boxty and so far, so good! If it's your first time, try out a boxty. It left me with a great first impression of this place
I can easily see this place becoming a favorite pub to go to. Will definitely be coming back.
Great atmosphere, great food and awesome Guiness at a good price. This bar is what I would like my basement to look like someday. Our service was prompt and attentive even though we had a group of 12 and there were no mistakes in our order or our bills. It was a phenomenal experience. I recommend the Reuben. My wife had spinach tortellini and loved it. This place gets a big thumbs up from me.
Review Source:Went there for dinner in July while we were driving to California trying to follow Route 66, thanks to Yelp reviewers.
Very good surprise. Everyhing was excellent. Don't miss the Sticky Toffee Pudding.
As we were still around the following day, we came back for lunch!
Can't wait for the next time. We bought two T-shirts never to forget this place!
Friendly staff with good advices.
Awesome stumble upon, on Sunday afternoon! Â Didn't know we were coming but heard the fun music and had to go in! Â Packed and beautiful, what all good pubs should be. We sat in the bar in the best seat in the house, the Colonels table high top
And the handsome Colonel himself cleared our  table, greeted us and made great suggestions for menu items and explained the history of the restaurant.  Very engaging and fun.  The interior is gorgeous, warm and packed full of great antiques. Makes you feel like your are in Europe
The menu is Very extensive and hard to decide so many good choices. We chose Reuben sandwiches with soup and the corned beef and cabbage. All was great but I must say upfront. Eat desert FIRST then eat dinner. And you must have the bread pudding!!!! Â To die for! Â Oh my gosh soooo good. Â Amy was a good waitress always there but not intruding.
Ciders were great and the Colonel taught our mom she does  like beer, with his suggestions of a flight of German beers and ciders.  Ciders won but the heffenweiser was second.
Just beautiful inside, lots of fun, attentive service and good food. No complaints from a very picky former restaurant critique! Â I highly recommend this bit of Ireland on Cherry street :-). We will be back when we come back to T town from San Diego
Thanks to the Colonel for making three girls feel like VIP
I don't really write reviews for restaurants, but I'm making an exception to tout this Irish Pub in Tulsa. Â Great selection of beer and delicious, traditional Irish cuisine, but the real joy was our server, Jay. Â He was wonderful! Attentive without hovering, and charming doesn't begin to describe him. Â I've never seen my mother so enamored with a waiter. Â She continued to talk about what a nice young man he was until we got on the plane the next day. Â Our outing to Kilkenny's was truly a highlight of our trip.
Review Source:If Kilkenny's were a song I would say, "This is my Jam" Â This place goes to 11 for me. Â Unique food selections, awesome burgers (I recommend the Fat Adam), a few Irish staples and top it off with several great European beers on tap. Â
I suggest you don't pass this one up. Â Go with a few friends order a London Porter on draft, some reuben rolls for an appetizer , the Kilmacow boxty for dinner and sit back and enjoy .
Great decor. I like menu, it has lots of typical bar/restaurant food and a several different and yummy looking dishes. The alcohol list has some of the typical beers, but they have tons of Irish beer and only Irish whiskey and scotch which I thought was pretty cool.
All of the food was incredible. I ordered the Cabernet buffalo burger, which was incredible! For dessert I got brown bread pudding, which was one of the best bread puddings I've ever had. Everyone else in my group raved about their food.
Overall a great place, a bit pricey for me but well worth the price. The server was attentive and very nice, and of course the irish pub atmosphere was wonderful.
Whenever I visit family in Tulsa I make sure to eat here. Delicious food, friendly service and comforting atmosphere. Try a boxty, traditional irish breakfast, or the Irish coffee. Just the thing for a wet Oklahoma winter lunch.
Not the best selection for vegetarians, but the Vinesgrove boxty is pretty good.
Warning it gets loud on the weekend nights, but if there's room you can get a seat in the room behind the bar.
Quaint bar in Tulsa relative to most of the other bars in town. Appropriate decor; you can tell they spent a good amount of effort on this. Beer menu was smaller than I had expected. Nothing really special, I'm pretty sure the Bakers Street on 71 has more selection. The food menu was lengthier, but again, nothing special. Most of the items on the food menu are just your typical bar food.
I picked to go here based on the review I read on Yelp, but I was so disappointed, that I'm starting to wonder if the review for this place are genuine.
This Irish pub is hard to beat in terms of location, food, service, beer and liquor. They have a huge menu filled with Irish/British and closely related food (probably more than a bit Americanized, but still all cooked really well) as well as some basic Italian, seafood, and American food. It's great for a group of people that want to choose from a variety of options.
They have a decent and reasonably priced selection of Scotch along with a full bar. They have a handful of good beers on tap and quite a few in bottles as well. Â The service is always friendly and prompt. Most of the desserts are quite good, including the bananas o'fosters. The baked brie is a tremendous appetizer as well.
This house is a rock'n
Dimly lit  and cosy
Smithwicks and Spaten on draw is always a plus.
Menu is a bit daunting with too many choices. Potatoes, fish, burgers, traditional Irish, sandwiches and the list goes on. Pick a few and stick to that. I made a joke the menu is almost the side of the Cheesecake Factory (definitely not a fan)
Butter Slip Burger with cole slaw side was good
Kilkeny's would be a great place to unwind with friends after work or wasting a weekend away. Thanks for the cheer.
For the past four years I've been coming here for my birthday.
I like the staff (Gail, I think that's how you spell her name, is the BEST)
They are very accommodating for big groups.
The food, I love. The ranch dressing is a little weird, but everything else is great.
My favorite thing is the atmosphere for a relaxing dinner and drinks with friends, not to bright, not too dark, just good good times.
Kilkennys Irish Pub was quite a surprise for me. Â The atmosphere is great, with several meandering halls and rooms, tons of warm wood finishing, and many quaint little details throughout. Â The front room where the bar is was quite noisy, but the other rooms were very pleasant. Â We were seated in the back room at a secluded and charming half-booth table, and it was a fantastic spot to enjoy our meal and company.
The menu is HUGE and a bit intimidating, but our helpful server made honest suggestions and helped us out. Â I had the corned beef and cabbage boxty. Â It could have used a bit more sauce, but it was amazing. Â It was probably the best boxty I've ever had. Â Wonderful corned beef, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage, and the potato pancake hugging it all was cooked to perfection. Â Others in the group had fish and chips and the tenderloin. Â Everyone loved their food and promptly gobbled it down.
They also have a nice beer/wine list with some interesting specialty combo beers. Â I had the half and half, and it was served at the perfect temperature and tasted great. Â I can't wait to come back and try the other (numerous) items that caught my eye. Â I'm looking at you cottage pie, fisherman's pie, and cajun burger (topped with sliced andouille sausage, what?!).
Kilkennys is always a great time! Whether you're out for drinks or want a bite to eat, Kilkennys is never a bad option. We customarily bar hop to Kilkennys if we want a change of scenery from White Owl. It definitely has an Irish feel to it with all the neat decor on the wall. Seating can sometimes be hard if you're there at a peak hour, but usually it's not too bad.
We came here for dinner once and I ordered the traditional Irish breakfast, which is served all day long. It came with two eggs made any way you like, two sausages, Irish bacon which looks like Canadian bacon, some veggies and Irish soda bread, which I found very interesting, but tasty. My boyfriend had the bangers and mash, which I stole multiple bites of the mashed potatoes. Everything tasted great and filled us up just right. We ended up staying until 1am just drinking and hanging out with friends.
If you're looking for a relaxed evening with some friends, I would recommend going to Kilkennys.
This place has a fantastic atmosphere. When I came for dinner it was packed but we found stools and ordered beer. The wait staff was friendly and very chill. For a pub the menu is very extensive. I think they may have made the food sound a little too good for what we ordered, but that's ok.
We split a bowl of the lobster and sweet corn chowder. It was a bit spicy with big portions of lobster... very tasty.
My friend ordered the Chatsworth- the potato part was very yummy but the chicken was a little dry.
I ordered the Jenkinstown Cottage Pie- it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It seemed like it had been sitting out for a while.
I know this place is a pub so I don't think I should be so hard on their food. It's got a great feeling to it, and a good wait staff. I'd definitely come here again.
"Slán Leát" are the words printed right above the double front door. It means "Cheers" in Gaelic tongue. And that is not the only thing that make Kilkenny's authentically Irish. The interior decors, the dive-y and laid back atmosphere, and the grand hardwood bar and alcohol shelves, all make you feel like in a moment everyone in this place will break out into Irish folk songs together.
Being in an Irish pub, I have to go for Irish grub. I ordered a cottage pie, and a tall glass of Harp lager on draft. The pie was better than some that I have had before, which tasted like canned beef stew topped with mashed potato. I can taste the good beef tips in this, and with the lager everything goes down smoothly.
If there is a next time, I'll definitely try the Boxty, right in the middle of the menu.
Upscale Mcnellies... Better food, nicer decor, more attentive waitstaff, but not the party atmosphere of Mcnellies. Let me get this straight, I like Mcnellies. I just think Kilkennys is the gold standard of Irish Pubs.
The food is excellent. Cottage pie is the best in town by far. Ruebens are juicy and spiced to perfection. Even the oysters are second to none. Lots of great beer with wonderful ambiance. Little bit of an older crowd though. So if ur an Anglo restaurant fan in need of a fix, Kilkennys is the place.
Yeah, I am still down with Kilkenny's.  This is one of my favorite bars anywhere.  When you can put  a fantastic beer selection together with an interesting and well served menu, you have some thing special.  Anything I have had here has been great.  The pastas and sandwiches are well prepared and taste great.
I met up with a friend to have a beer. Â He kept going on and on about how Kilkennys has the best burgers in town. Â I was skeptical and even though I wasn't that hungry and ate only a few hours ago I decided to give it a try seeing how he was ordering one as well. Â I really just had to try it. Â I have a hard time saying no to people hyping up burgers. Â One thing I enjoy about the beer's here is that they are rarely "skunked". Â It seems like that take good care of them.
So we both order the Butter Slip Burger with Irish Cheddar. Â This is a 1/2 lb burger served on a Kaiser Roll. Â When they come out one is a 1/2 lb burger and the other is a 1/4 lb burger. Â They waiter apologized and said he would take it back, but I was more than fine with the smaller burger, with not being so hungry. Â So it worked out fine. Â I was actually surprised how good the beef was on this burger. Â It had tons of flavor and was tender and juicy. Â The Irish Cheddar was also a delicious with it.
While this wasn't the best burger I have had in town it was still surprisingly good. Â
I love the atmosphere, service and menu at Kilkennys. Â I love coming here and will continue to come here.
Really good food. I recommend those little potato wedge things that come with a side of cheddar sauce. It's all called something weird, of course, because it's traditional Irish stuff, but it's sooooo good. I also like the cottage pie, but you really can't go wrong with a pot pie and mashed potatoes no matter what country you're from, right?
Also, one of the bartenders makes the most Dee-lish chocolate martinis. I can't vouch for all the bartenders because I'm thinking this guy has that "it" factors some bartenders are blessed with, but this guy.... He will get you drunk.
They also have great breakfast and brunch-ish things, but I'm not sure if that's only on the weekend. Why would you want a huge Irish breakfast in the middle of the week, anyway? Don't be gross.
There is quite a bit of seating, so waiting usually isn't a problem. And- the bar area is super cool, with some bench-ey hi-top tables and other various seating.
Yay, Kilkenny's! You're tasty!
