Introducing our new winter menu at @emberkilkenny by Jonathan Webster 🔥Best enjoyed with a pre- or post-dinner tipple next door at The Hibernian Bar, where 1904 heritage and live music come together for the best night out in Kilkenny. Fire, as always, takes centre stage at Ember, with our kitchen crew coaxing the season’s finest local cuts and charred roots into smoke-kissed showpieces, right before your eyes. Paired with standout wines and the crackle of the braai grill. Begin, or linger longer, next door at The Hibernian Bar, where history meets warmth in Kilkenny’s original 1904 Hibernian Bank building. Enjoy live music from 9pm, a perfectly poured pint or signature cocktail, and that unmistakable local buzz that turns dinner into a night to remember.
