American barbecue is a niche pursuit in a medieval Irish town better known for its ale, but a handful of rooms carry the torch. Paris Texas Bar and Restaurant leans into the Tex-Mex and grill end of the spectrum, serving ribs and smoked plates in a buzzy city-centre setting. It is the natural first stop for anyone craving low and slow cooking in Kilkenny.
