The Hibernian Bar
Looking for a city-centre bar in Kilkenny with authentic charm, Irish music and top-class whiskey? Tucked within the storied walls of our Georgian townhouse, the Hibernian Bar is where heritage, hospitality and quiet indulgence meet. By day, it’s a relaxed corner for casual lunches and light bites. By night, it transforms into a warm, low-lit haven for music, whiskey, and conversation. Whether you’re calling in from the city streets or descending from your room upstairs, a rich welcome awaits—alongside a perfect pour.
When Is Food Served at the Hibernian Bar? Bar food is served daily from 12.30pm to 9.00pm, with a menu full of comfort classics, handmade sandwiches, soups, and light snacks. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch or winding down with an evening bite, our kitchen brings flavour and familiarity to every plate.
Live Music
From fiddle-led sessions to soft acoustic ballads, our bar plays host to a rotating cast of local musicians. Every Tuesday to Sunday 8.30 - 10.30pm
Our bar boasts one of Kilkenny’s most extensive Irish whiskey selections. For special occasions—or just because—we offer whiskey tasting experiences ideal for small groups, birthdays, hen and stag parties, or curious sippers. Whether you’re planning an after-work meet-up, family gathering, or milestone celebration, we offer private packages and reserved areas.
