Many years ago I used to be a regular for the Thursday night traditional music session. Now I seldom get the chance as Thursday nights are taken up with other things but I was there recently and its as good if not better than ever! Excellent pints and authentic music representing a living tradition. It is advisable to go early to make sure of a seat in the back room where the music is. The front bar is a good old fashioned pub with a decent clientele ( not greatly improved by my presence ) and, most importantly , great pints of Guinness.

Square Coffee and Retail, Kildare Towns first Third Wave coffee bar, We feel it is a unique and welcome addition to the Square and town alike. Opened in December 2017 by Pam and Alan, Square offers a beautifully designed retail and gallery space alongside a speciality coffee bar. At Square it's not only about the coffee, great coffee is just our standard. It’s the welcoming, enthusiastic team of baristas and the well designed, aesthetically pleasing space that combine to create an environment to enjoy while browsing or admiring the art while your espresso shot is being prepared. We are massive advocates of supporting sustainability, fairly traded and local produce, our ethically sourced coffee which will always be Specialty Grade or above is roasted in Naas. We are currently working with four bakers and producers for our delicious accompaniments who are all based in Kildare town.
The huge chocolate squares I had with my excellent coffee. Due to Covid 19 restrictions you may enter and purchase take away products only so no time to sit and chat. Even so you are greeted with the lovely aroma of coffee and good food causing you to salivate. Maybe not everybody does but there is something about the smell of freshly ground coffee and the Barista banging away the old grinds and preparing a new cup of coffee for you. Inside as you wait in a small queue (3 meters apart and all that) you get a lovely sense of peace and calm minus the buzz of people sitting and eating etc. While it is strange to go to a coffee shop and do take away food and drink it is still a lovely experience. Added to the eternal patience of the staff and it is not easy to understand us customers in our masks no matter how trendy some of them are. Questions regarding Gluten Free products are welcome and unlike a lot of coffee shops they have a good range so my wife was more than happy. Your cake is put into a nice little square box not a shiny plastic one. More classy I think myself and it makes you feel like you had a better experience than coffee at a Petrol station on the motorway. There are a few seats scattered around on the street outside and it is a nice place to sit on an Autumnal day watching the buses come in and go out and people pushing buggies with babies and normal life going on. Yes there is nothing square about this coffee shop. Good food, coffee, friendly staff and great service.

We found ourselves with time on our hands in Leixlip waiting to check in to the wonderful Becketts Hotel. To put in time we went for a walk along the Rye River, quite a spectacular developed walkway. When we got back to the village we popped in to the Court Yard Hotel for lunch. The lunch was a wee bit undistinguished (a vegetarian salad and a Caesar salad, both a bit unrefined) but the court yard setting was perfect and more than made up for the food. We found shelter from the blazing sun and good hospitality - they had Peroni beer on tap which was just what the doctor ordered. The girl who served us was very nice and very prfessional. By the time we had lunch we felt refreshed and ready to take on the world again. What a lovely village and the meeting of the Rivers Rye and Liffey is quite a magical spot.
