Overview

Tucked away in Jamesgreen, Kilkenny, Hackett’s Bar at Seán Byrne’s is far more than just another local watering hole. Imagine stepping into a space where the charm of an old-school Irish pub wraps around you like a cozy blanket. You don’t just walk in; you feel welcomed, almost hugged by the atmosphere.

First off, let’s talk about the beer. Oh man, the pints here are something else. It’s like music to your taste buds—smooth, cold, and perfectly poured. Reviews praise the Guinness, and honestly, after having one, I totally get why. It’s hard to find a place that nails that classic Irish pint, but here? They’ve got it down to an art.

You know what else? The staff at Hackett’s are gems. They strike that perfect balance between being friendly without being overbearing. It’s like they’re your pals, just waiting to share a laugh, and they know just how to make everyone feel at home.

On weekends, the vibe gets even better with live music that fills the air. Picture it: a one-man band strumming away, while locals gather for a good time. It’s an authentic Irish experience that tourists often miss out on. But here, you’re surrounded by locals, making you feel less like a visitor and more like part of a larger community.

If you’re in a group, don’t fret; this bar is super accommodating. Wheelchair-accessible and the kind of place where you can kick back without worrying about being too rowdy or loud, it’s just that perfect mix of cozy and lively.

And here’s the kicker: they accept credit and debit cards. So no worries about cash. Grab a spot on a comfy stool, enjoy the warmth, and let the night unfold.

Hackett’s is open every single day from noon until 11 p.m., making it a reliable choice no matter when the urge for a pint strikes. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to swing by. You’ll probably leave with new friends and a solid favorite spot in Kilkenny. Cheers to that!
