Hibernian Bar
There may come a time when having yet another pint in an atmospheric pub might be just one too many. Take refuge here at this swanky hotel bar with deep, comfy leather banquettes and a long list of proper cocktails.
-
John Cleere
One of Kilkenny's best venues for live music, this long bar has blues, jazz and rock, including local favourites Bone. Especially in the summer, this is the place to look for trad music sessions.
-
Kilkenny Cineplex
Four screens here blare with the latest Hollywood releases.
-
Morrisey's Club
In a basement a few doors from the Kilkenny Tourist Hostel, this club usually doesn't really get cranking until around (those who show up earlier get in free). DJs rule but there are also live acts many nights. Sunday nights get a barely-18 crowd.
-
Morrison's Bar
In the cellar of the Hibernian Hotel there's this stylish hideaway, with its atmospheric lighting and snazzy belle époque décor. DJs spin an eclectic mix for an upmarket crowd that actually cares about getting spilled on.
-
O'Faolain's
Kilkenny is the regional hub of clubbing. But here the club itself is an attraction: it's built on three levels around an old stone church that was brought over from Wales. There are live DJs most nights, starting around and weekend club nights.
-
O'Riada
The lowest-key bar in Kilkenny. The only dashes of flash are an electric light and a TV set. The joint fills up and gets pretty lively when there's a game on the tube, but most of the time you can ponder your pint and strike up a conversation with anyone - including yourself.
-
Pumphouse
With live rock groups like Kopek many nights a week, the Pumphouse is one of Kilkenny's livelier bars. When there's no band, music comes from a free jukebox that doesn't have a bad song on it. It's a large place with pool tables and big TVs. Smokers hang out on the roof.
-
Tynan's Bridge House
Conversation is generally audible in this grand old Georgian pub, the best trad bar in town. The 300-year-old building has settled a bit over the years, but then so have many of the customers. Survey the craic from the tables in front or settle back in the - of all things - olive-tree festooned patio out back.

Watergate Theatre
Recently spiffed up, this theatre hosts drama, comedy and musical performances. Why is it that intermissions seem to last 18 minutes?
