Mcsorleys Bar in Kilkenny

Thought this place had been redone but front bar looked old badly decorated in places and most certainly not revamped very disapointing,

Lovely spot in the heart of a lovely city !!! Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff!!! Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️

This weekend, I decided to go on a trip to Kilkenny, I went to many bars in Kilkenny but this place definitely stands out. The manager Dave was one of the nicest guys I met. Best beer garden in Kilkenny! I can't wait to be back here.

Very good service, lovely atmosphere, Manager was a gentleman, I will definitely be back and will highly recommend McSorleys Kilkenny to friends and family ... Thank you...

Very nice pub. Great live music. Insider tip: order a Banana Drama.

A fantastic pub, great atmosphere, superb service. A must-visit for an evening out.

We spent three weeks in Ireland and kept coming back to McSorley’s almost every evening. If you’re looking for a authentic Irish pub atmosphere, this is the place to be. The biggest highlight was the amazing bar team especially Ryan and Dave who made us feel welcome from day one. We already miss you and definitely be back next year. Thanks for making our trip unforgettable! ❤️

We spent three weeks in Ireland and honestly ended up coming back to this pub every single night. If you’re looking for that genuine, welcoming Irish pub atmosphere, this is the place to be. The absolute best part of our experience, though, was the team behind the bar (shout out to Ryan). From day one, they made us feel so welcome that we quickly went from regular customers to genuine friends. After three weeks, it feels strange not heading over for a drink and a great chat in the evening. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor: grab a spot at the bar and just enjoy the vibe. We already miss the place and the crew, and we will definitely come back the next year just for McSorleys! Thanks for making our trip so unforgettable!

I spent 3 weeks in Kilkenny and ended up in McSorley’s almost every single day — and honestly, that says everything. This pub became my second home while I was here. From day one, the welcome was unbelievably warm. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a proper Irish pub: friendly people, great conversations, amazing pints, and always a good laugh. The owner is an absolute gentleman and makes everyone feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. And then there’s Metzger behind the bar — genuinely one of the nicest bartenders I’ve ever met. Always in a good mood, great craic, super attentive, and somehow ridiculously handsome at the same time. Legend. The Thursday pub quiz is also an absolute must if you’re in Kilkenny. Brilliant atmosphere and always a great night. I’ll definitely be coming back to Kilkenny one day, and one of the biggest reasons is McSorley’s itself. Already missing the place.

Hi my dear readers, What an incredibly awesome bar! Whether it was the owner, Dave, or our friend behind the bar, everyone was always in a great mood and incredibly welcoming. We spent three weeks in Kilkenny and enjoyed a cold drink or two at McSorleys every single evening. It was amazing, and if you're ever in Kilkenny, it's a must-visit for everyone. Thanks for everything! :)
