  Great food and great beer selection for downtown Newark. It's within walking distance from the college's, the Newark museum, The PAC, and (it's a bit of a hike or like a 5min Uber) to the Rock or Penn. Love this place.

  Delicious food, please plan to share an entree. Not crowded during lunch. Drinks are good, and good for happy hours anytime

  Poor food and beer selections. I was visiting from New Brunswick so perhaps have different expectations for alehouses. The beer selection is much more limited than it is in New Brunswick. Both are college cities, and New Brunswick is much smaller in population and land area, so I was disappointed in Kilkenny's more limited beer selection. There were bottles from mostly typical brands (Heineken, Stella Artois, Sam Adams, Budweiser), a few drafts, but little I was excited to try. And I couldn't find any Kilkenny! (But there was Guinness.) For food, I got a $10 vegetarian mac and cheese dish (not bad price) and added shrimp for $5. This would normally be acceptable, but it was $5 for 5 tiny shrimp. I could get more food for a comparable price at a typical Italian American/Mediterranean restaurant. And it wasn't that flavorful, despite being sprinkled with cajun spice (which I couldn't taste). I also had steak once and was disappointed by the out-of-the-can vegetables. I've been here twice; fool me twice, shame on me. I'm not going back.
