Murphy blood coursing through my veins is a point of pride for me. I’m an Irish girl at heart, just one of the reasons we frequent Kilkenny’s Irish Pub, located on historic Cherry Street in Tulsa. We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend with some of our favorites at Kilkenny’s and I would be remiss if I didn’t share them with you. Kilkenny’s is one of the most popular eating spots in town and holds its own with consistently delicious grub, a well-rounded menu, excellent service and authentic pub atmosphere.
Irish Nachos, crafted with house cut and fried potato chips and fresh salsa. You couldn’t create this flavor with just any ‘ole potato chip.
My favorite for the evening: The Craigue Boxty, an Irish potato cake stuffed with lobster, shrimp & crab after being sauteed in garlic and white wine sauce. Then the boxty is covered with their house O’Fredo Sauce. I know it looks good, but it tastes even better.
DJ’s favorite for the evening: The Tullamaine Tenderloin, cooked to order (grilled or blackened) & covered with savory whiskey mushroom sauce and your choice of side. Shown, oyster dressing. Their colcannon and champ are both very good too!
Dessert: Sticky Toffee Pudding, pound cake pan-fried in the most delectable caramel toffee you’ve ever tasted then topped with ice cream and nuts. As if we hadn’t eaten enough already, we should have left this well enough alone, but it sounded so good. Please excuse the messy photo, but when it arrived, we couldn’t keep our spoons out of it long enough for me to retrieve my camera.
And, last but not least, our choice of beverages. Normally, I would go with a Guinness but they serve Tank 7 (draught), my new favorite Boulevard beer. My very manly man went with one of his favorites, Ace Pear Cider (draught). It’s actually quite good and he’s not afraid to order a more ‘girlie drink’. Must be the English in him.







oh my goodness yummmm!
You said it. If you’re ever this way, don’t forget to stop in and enjoy!

geesh woman!!!! my waistline is groaning from enjoying the pictures – never mind the reality!! – haven’t been to tulsa in awhile, now i have yet another eason!! hope the anniversary far exceeded expectations!
ha!ha! Thank you! Always a good time with my man, eating and drinking. Yes, you must visit again. This town has changed in many ways…quite a lovely place.
could be, but – in my humble – it can’t touch norman!!
Hhhhhmmmm…still no Kilkenny’s in Norman.
happy anniversary and best wishes for going back to that pub as often as humanly possible! the boxty looks amaaazing ~ and boy that sticky toffee pudding would be hard to turn down. maybe your husband has an ulterior motive with the cider… less filling and thus more room for that fabulous grub? i do love me a cider, of course a guinness and i must say i like Murphy’s stout, too ~ sounds like a great night
Yes, thank you! I went twice for my birthday in April, within the same week. Very good food and drinks for sure. He loves that Ace Pear Cider and it’s the only place around we’ve found it on draught. We bought bottles once and it wasn’t even close to the same flavor. Reminds me of Pear Glace’ body spray from Victoria’s Secret I wore in the ’90′s.
Mmmmmmmm….Murphy’s & Guinness.
good choices
happy 6th anniversary, Amy.
Thank you so much. I agree. Eventually I’ll try some more dishes there, but I love me a good boxty!
I was in kikenny (the real town) for Comedy festival not too long ago! I probably had a ‘real’ irish food too! Ashamed to say I haven’t had Murphy’s stout yet…well this Friday
Hope you liked that Murphy’s Stout! Our Irish family name is Murphy so it will always be close to my heart (and my mouth).
