Byrne's bar has a shady and spacious beer garden for those sunny days when you just want to sit and sip pints. You can even partake of a full Irish breakfast while you are at it, available here on an all-day basis. Byrne's also boasts a good lunch menu with fish, lasagne and lamb dishes available at very reasonable prices. There's even a pool table inside if you get bored of sitting in the sun after your breakfast. Don't leave without taking a look at the utterly charming picture of "Ginger" with his owner Denis Hyland on the wall inside. "Ginger" is a fighting cock and in the photo he's standing on the bar, with his head stuck in a pint of stout. On Saturday nights the hordes are entertained by a DJ.
This is the Liverpool Supporters Club spot in Kilkenny and is packed with a comparatively young and arguably hard-drinking clientèle. The notice outside lets you know that the World's End is open for "the cure" on Sunday mornings, which suitably sums up the atmosphere of the place. This is a soccer bar through and through, as evident by the huge range of supporters' scarves decorating the bar. Pool and darts facilities are available, as is live music and DJs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. It's definitely a pub for party animals with strong livers.
