Statham’s Bar & Restuarant

Stathams Bar & Grill serves hearty food with creative flair in cosy surroundings on Kilkenny’s most chic street. 

This combination of old-time hospitality and laid-back style has created a relaxed yet buzzing eaterie much loved by Kilkenny.

Chunky tables with wood-panelled walls are the perfect complement to a menu that features rustic food prepared with artistry.

Our food changes with the seasons and we have a real commitment to Kilkenny artisan produce.  Menus move with the rhythm of the day so drop in at any time and enjoy a morning coffee with home-baked scone or pastry, a wide lunch menu, afternoon treats including our famous chocolate brownies and biscuit cake, or our sumptuous a la carte evening menu. 

For a tapas-style option with drinks you can try our sharing plates featuring miniature portions of our signature dishes.

Open walnut shelves filled with an extensive selection of world wines show that despite the informal ambience, this is a place that takes the pairing of food and wine seriously.

Our bar staff are always happy to mix up a zingy cocktail or pull a great pint.
