Kilkenny - New Years Eve

Whiteflag12

I'm looking for some recommendations for New Years Eve. Heading to Kilkenny with four of my friends, we're females in our late 30's and would like somewhere lively but not really really young.
Any suggestions?

Thanks :-)

The Set theatre.

If you like Kerbdog that is.

Thanks for suggestions, never heard of either but will check them out. A guy from work recommended Matt the miller pub.... Do u know if its any good?

Kerbdog are a 90's grunge band from Kilkenny and still have a big following here. You may know their singer Cormac Battle from 2FM. They are playing Set Theatre NYE so it won't be a typical night there.

The Left Bank is a good spot, not too young (avoid the top floor, the club part is a bit young). Massive heated smoking area with its own bar, if any of you smoke...good for mingling

Thanks Ladybetty , I'd heard about the Left Bank alright.....Mingling will be on the cards;-) would that be better than Matt the Millers?

Threadhead

Most definitely.

Kerbdog wont be a quite affair, so avoid if you're not into the music tbh

Id stay well clear of Matt the Millers tbh. Left bank is probably your best bet.

LadyBetty

Yes the Left Bank is the best option for a girls' night out, lots of drinking, dancing & mingling!

Would actually say to avoid Matt the Millers, Langtons, any of those, just much younger age groups.

When Left Bank is finished for the night you can head across the road to Morrissons, go downstairs to the club, it's squashy & hot (gets v packed) but the dancing continues for another while.

Have a good night!

Well Kilkenny didn't disappoint, great place for a break, the locals were so nice. Can't wait to go back!

As a blow-in who married a local I have to say, Kilkenny is not a bad spot!

Started off in Matt the millers, then left bank then morrisons (way too young!) and finished up in our residents bar. Great night, needless to say I swore I wd never drink again the next day!!! Looking forward to our next visit!!!
