Kilkenny's Irish Pub - Irish pub in Tulsa - 1413 E 15th St, USA

First time at this pub. It definitely had a pub feel. The hostess walked us to the back of the pub where there were families seated with young children. There were only 2 of us as we were sans young children and being sat around families with small children always makes me feel out of place when we are a couple sans children, because if I am sans my own child/children that indicates I have time away to enjoy being child free and there were other available child free seating opportunities. Perhaps in her defense there was no one to cover those tables.The hostess tried to sit us at table between families. My husband requested a table across the room to give some distance/peace and it all worked out. Other than that the food was good. Scotch eggs were tasty and I really liked the sauce they used. The fish and chips were tasty, wished the chips were more crispy but they were good. Really like the tartar sauce ...it was on point. I was disappointed in the pretzels as they didn't seem like a true pretzel. They were very warm like hot out of the oven fresh and pillowy soft. They were not bad just not what I had thought they were going to be. Our server was kind and diligent in doing a good job, but have patience because things did run slower like they could have been short staffed that day. I enjoyed my first time here and would come back. Thank you Kilkenny's!

I’d been here before for drinks but never a meal. We arrived around 6:30 on a Friday night, and although it was crowded our wait for a table was only about 20 minutes. I’ve never had Irish food so was excited to try something different. Everything we had was great, and the service was great as well. We had the fried ribs and Scotch eggs for appetizers, and my boyfriend had the boxty with corned beef while I had the chicken pot pie. Also the champ was fabulous! Prices were reasonable for amount and quality of food. I wouldn’t hesitate to return!

I have heard such great things over the years about this restaurant so I finally decided to give it a try. I like to try new things and step out of my comfort zone so I ordered the smoked salmon appetizer. It tasted great. The fish and cheese had great flavor. I was not really impressed with the sauce that came with it. The mussels were ok. They were lacking in flavor. But we received a great portion and it was only the half order. My partner ordered the ribeye and i ordered the grilled chicken. I commented to my partner that the best part of the meal was the fried onions. The chicken and rice were also pretty good. The green beans were extremely peppery and the broccoli was not bad either. The steak was over cooked and bland. The server seemed rushed. When I asked what he recommended he said he doesn't like to tell people what to order. I like to ask the staff because they generally have a better idea of what's more popular/ better on the menu. He spilled my tea on me because he seemed rushed. While I understand you may be busy an apology goes a long way. The restaurant had a very irish themed atmosphere. Overall this is not a place I would recommend to others or look to revisit in the future.

I absolutely adore the atmosphere. It's truly a pub that you can sit and enjoy yourself with your folks. Some of the wait staff are the nicest, sweetest people! However, the majority are very poor in attitude. Most of the times that I've visited, the wait staff will only glaze over you as you're ordering, as if they're just waiting for you to spit it out and get it over with. With my recent experience it was all the same. Additionally, our waitress Mariah didn't bother to make conversation despite my parties efforts to do so; but she oddly obliged with other tables. Despite our efforts to be accommodating as guests... We immediately felt singled out. It's unfortunate. If I wanted to make myself depressed, I wouldn't spend a $60+ tab to do so. I've been to this pub several times, and the service remains the same. I used to work in the restaurant industry and I consider myself nicer / more polite than the average customer; yet each experience at this restaurant has left me asking: "What did I do wrong?" But this is a restaurant, not a therapy session. Thank you for the gorgeous atmosphere and aesthetics, but I've found better attitude at a pompous coffee shop.

Nice atmosphere. I tried the scotch eggs, Reubens rolls, and a cornyeal boxty. My friend had the fish and chips. For dessert we split a baileys cheesecake slice. Everything was very delicious and the portions were huge.

Great service, great food and even better atmosphere! I loved the dimmer lighting and the decor is super fun! We ordered mussels, which we did not expect to be brought out on a huge plate. They do not cheat you on portion sizes! The pastas were delicious and flavorful. The clam chowder DID taste more like potato soup (they might’ve mixed up the order?) but it was delicious nonetheless. Unfortunately, my husband and I both became sick once we got home, and we think the mussels may have been bad (they still tasted fantastic) but shellfish can be very difficult to judge, so we give them the benefit of the doubt on that. Regardless, we will definitely return!

I always have a great experience at Kilkennys from the atmosphere, food, and staff. However I had brunch here recently and my server made my experience even more enjoyable than usual. Kelly is such a kind and bubbly person that took exceptional care of me and my husband. Besides our need always being met, she spent the time to connect with us beyond the normal surface level interactions. She brightened our entire day and we’ll definitely be coming back requesting her service. Servers should be taking notes from this girl because she really goes above and beyond. By far the best server we’ve ever had!

From the outside....this just looks like a fun Irish Bar. Stepping in, it was very welcoming. Stopped in for lunch. Patti, our Bartender, greeted us with a smile and asked "whatcha drinking ??". 🤩 We ordered our drinks and then decided to share the chicken strips & chips. Large enough portion for us to share and it was delicious. Though a couple of of them were dry... they had great seasonings on them. The chips were wedge cut potatoes and nicely crisp on outside, fluffy on inside. Highly recommended!!!
