Kilkenny's Pub — Restaurant in Davenport

The downtown of Davenport has a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars available to visit over the weekend. After meeting some work compatriots and friends at an apartment close by, we were convinced by one of our cohort to walk several blocks through the cold December air to visit Kilkenny's Pub.

There's not much to say about Kilkenny's that could be said about other similar establishments in downtown Davenport or, for that matter, any other comparable downtown in any number of other cities. There's a large central bar area with multiple bartenders and servers. There's also a secondary bar area and kitchen in a room over.

For this point in the night, I only desired Diet Coke and water, which the bartender quickly provided. While this quick service was great given the high occupancy of the establishment, the general noise level was excessive. My general preferences when going out with a group are locations where I don't have to scream at whoever I'm with just to communicate.

The saving grace to the excessive noise level was the option of Karaoke on this Friday night. Since next to no one was partaking, I chose to take up the microphone, singing my own terrible renditions of such titles as "The Wizard" by Black Sabbath, "Double Vision" by Foreigner, and "Xanadu" by Olivia Newton John. What I don't have in skill, I make up for in confidence and delivery.

To my preference, I wouldn't come back here again (the noise level alone puts me off the establishment). For the purposes of a review on google, however, I wouldn't rate somewhere less favorably over something such as that due to my own environmental preferences. In summary, I'd put forth that if you want a loud time involving alcohol and various different strangers in downtown Davenport, Kilkenny's pub should suffice. Thanks for the good...

Ok so this place is kinda beat up during the daylight but I can imagine it gets better looking and more lively as the sun sets. They had good deals and the entertainment outside the front window(crackheads) was enough to keep us in here for 45 minutes or so. The bartender was friendly and the owner regaled us with stories of a cracked out Lizzo lookalike dancing nude on the corner, so we were truly entertained. Sounds like this corner is a hotspot for gaping at the local fun squad. Not very irish in my opinion no irish food no tap Guinness.... Views 9.5 drinks were cold and cheap so also 9.0 atmosphere inside at 3 pm a bit stale so 6.0 and conversation 9.0. So...

Bree was my bartender tonight and she was amazing! I moved from South Dakota and this was the first bar I went to after I came here and she was super warm and welcoming and we had some great conversations. She was super nice and made me feel super welcome there. Me and two friends went there and she made sure we always had a cold drink and again was super friendly. I will definitely...
