First pint I ever bought was 52p and I couldn’t tell you what a pint costs now my last alcoholic drink was New Year’s Eve 1999. Woke up New Year’s Day with a hangover from hell that lasted 2 days so thought I’d have a dry January and I felt so good after no drink for a month I never bothered to start again.
My grandparents owned a pub around the 50s/60s. The main rule was no talk about politics or you were out. Lads would still be arguing about Dev/Collins and causing murder.
I bought a half acre site in wolfhill killkenny 1998 water & electric sewage £10.000 sold it for £20.000 Year 2000. Under duress Not knowing it was worth an easy £80.000 as all other sites with less were making 100/£120.000
This must be a very holy place, No cursing or swearing, No women only a tinker woman of the very highest standards, No fighting, No planning a coup, No takeover, No talking bad about the neighbors, No drinking bad pints of beer, No planning to go band robbing, no planning to go sheep stealing. No stealing potatoes from the farmer's field in the middle of the night, No getting into trouble, No thuggery, No fist fighting, No exaggeration, No tall stories No laughter, No trouble at all. Only do and say as I do, No I would never go to a place like this
There was lots of good humour and plenty of laughter it was a full Pub great atmosphere no mobile phones No Drugs no Gambling no trouble just good honest Craic you won't have to go here for a pint the Pubs gone You'll have to go to the newer Pubs with plenty of 💰 go past security listen to all the distractions tv Games People having a meal no laughing no fun just very expensive alcohol Prices now that's a pub I won't Frequent No wonder people are drinking at home they have ruined the local Pub yeah its in the past
Thetes a old pub from the late1800s originally and it was men only . Now its owned by lesbians . its a really nice though its the oldest bar Ive been too and has old memorabilia and pool tables. Everyon is allowed in these days.

Hi Laura, I know very little about it other than it was at the top of Walkin St in Kilkenny, I no longer live in Ireland so I wouldn't meet any of the folks who could tell you about it but I'm sure if you post a link to the facebook sites, Kilkenny Global Community or Kilkenny Down Memory Lane someone would be able to give you lots more info. Try and contact Conor Shiels below, he says it's was his granduncles pub.Best of luck with you search. Richie

Don't remember this pub but I do remember The Lighthouse pub there. Even that's long gone now.
good story tellers from my hometown kilkenny
My grandfather William Kirwan was a Kilkenny man. If there’s any kirwans out there I’d love to hear from ye.
Have asked a good few locals who date it early 70s..great to see it posted.
It's more likely early to mid 60's. Draught stout commenced around 1959/60..
Brilliant 👏👏
My Father was born and lived in Walkin Street,his house i remember him saying was knocked down.
