Clancy's in Athy

Nice cosy spot for a pre wedding drinks the night before the big day

We had our day two celebrations in Clancys Back Bar on Sunday 24th November 2024. Clancys was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator in the Clanard Court Hotel last year when we went to visit the venue. We went down to visit that day to discuss having our day 2 celebrations there. From the minute we entered the pub to enquire, Emma and John could not have been more helpful. John took all my details and said he would contact me closer to the date. When I say John is lovely to deal with, it’s an understatement. He went above and beyond with every little detail. He took over the planning of the day for me. I had told him we wanted food & a dj, I also said we would like transport to & from the hotel on the night. He organised everything… he contacted a local caterer directly & organised the food for us, he contacted the local taxi company and booked a coach to pick us up from the hotel and collect us, he booked the dj for us… all we had to do was pay. It took so much pressure off us as we were so busy planning the wedding. He honestly couldn’t have been more helpful in the lead up to the night, checking in to see if there was anything else we needed etc. What can I say about the night itself? Unbelievable….. Clancys is such a great spot, we had full access to the back bar and outdoor garden area. When we arrived, John had put up decor around the place; just married signs, mr & Mrs signs etc. which we didn’t even request. He was so so helpful on the night constantly going around to everyone to see if they were ok & needed anything. All the staff were so helpful also. Such a lovely bunch. We finished off our wedding weekend celebrations in the best way we could, I could not recommend Clancys highly enough. We will be visiting the Clanard Court Hotel every year on our anniversary and will be going to Clancys for a drink without a doubt, we already can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much to John, Emma and all the team and Clancys.

Legends of the Guiness are true! Cocktails are also brilliant. Staff are sound.

We had a casual day 2 of our wedding in Clancys & it was absolutely perfect. The staff could not have been nicer & the service could not have been any better. John the manager is an absolute gent.

Excellent venue and professional staff. Thank you for a great night Emma, John and David at my daughter’s 21st birthday in the Hatch. Excellent venue. Such good fun. Music by John Luttrell top notch.

Barman was excellent. Was interested in talking to us and telling us a few things about the bar and where to eat.

We had our wedding day 2 in Clancys. John was always a pleasure to deal with. Everything on the night was absolutely perfect and we had everything possible. Music with Gary O Brien, in house dj and a session in the music room which people are still talking about. Emma and John went above and beyond to make sure it was enjoyable for everyone. Food was perfect and we even got to serve some of our wedding cake which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend clancys for any event or party. And will definitely be booking again. Thanks a million guys. From Rachel and John x

Fantastic pub in Athy, a real gem. Traditional pub at first look but some great spots for groups of varying sizes to go into. Friendly staff and good stout
