Kilkenny Irish Pub - Berlin

I would agree with all of the above. This pub was also non-smoking when I visited it recently. Not entirely unconnected to this, it also smelt rather odd. As if some big, wet, hairy dog had died in the corner. I suppose that is the result of the poor cleaning of furnishings and fittings for a number of years being masked by the smell of smoke. Nevertheless a pleasant, albeit slightly pricy, night out :)

when i went there i was told that an ex employee had put chemicals under the carpet to make it smell like that

I was there on Sat as I had an half hour to kill. The Chelsea game was advertised outside, but the Bundesliga was on. There was only 2 Germans watching it. Then in came 13 or 14 English who wnated to watch the @adverised' game, but the staff would not turn the TV over: Whatever. Oh and by the way the whole pub did smeel like month old puke and it was 4.2 Euro for a beer. Never see me there again.

Then take a universal TV remote control or a universal one for the TV brand down there with you and have fun with it.

This place has the smallest kitchen I have ever worked in. Really not room enough to swing a cat, let alone a big wet hairy dog.

the guinness was pretty shit...and 5€! can't blame them for cashing in on tourists but as a resident i would stay well away.

Please. No more Irish pubs. They are shit.

this place is expensive with weird lighting and is either dead or packed. When it's packed it is just unpleasant, standing room only, would rather sit outside even in the winter. There is a 110-year-old lady who sits by the toilet with a plate... I don't like when I spend exorbitant amounts money in a joint and then have to feel like a dick for not paying for the toilet as well. Do not like, but the location is good for a starting pint on a Saturday night... as long as there aren't any Irish stag parties going on.

Since it's take over a number of years ago the place is on it's knees. The rent is massive and the staff disheartened. The manager is quite clearly out of her/his depth. Bloody clueless in all shapes and forms. Look at the menu and laugh about their grasp of history and culinary delights. When a so called, 'Irish Pub', sells pitchers of Guinness I think you know what you are in for....I vote it the worst Irish Bar in Berlin. Apart from that the number of Stag Parties spending their entire weekend there is absurd. Mindless, thoughtless, brainless, pointless and boring. It will close soon... I doubt.

Could someone please remind me and give me a good shake - why would anyone in their right mind go to an Irish bar?

SchotteImKiez - what do you mean by that? Are you trying to transfer the bad feeling a forum has against a particular establishment onto every Irishpub or is this more like anything Irish?

went on saturday lunchtime, much the same decor as the previous times I've been in and fortunately no stag parties. Service was quick (a lot better than I've experienced in the past) and the shepherds pie was ace, twice the size and ten times better than I'd get in munich at about the same price. Only gripe was paying €4,90 for a weissbier
