Overview

So, I strolled into J.J. Cullen, Butchers the other day. It’s on John Street Upper in Kilkenny, whch, honestly, feels like one of those hidden gems. If you’re a meat lover, you’re gonna want to remember this spot.

Walking through the door, the first thing that hits you is the smell—like the savory whispers of perfectly cooked sausages. Some people rave about their rashers too, saying they’re practically the best in the area. And, let me tell you, the reputation isn’t just fluff. The place looked spotless, and Johnjoe, the butcher, seems like a real nice guy who genuinely cares about his craft.

Now, here’s something interesting: they don’t have a card machine. Sure, that sounds a bit old-school, right? But I overheard someone saying they once took their meat home and just promised to come back with cash. That’s trust, right there! It’s rare in this day and age, don’t ya think?

But, like anything, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. I did catch a glimpse of a review or two that felt a bit gloomy. I suppose the whole idea of butchering has its critics. But hey, everyone’s got their perspective. You can’t please all the people, all the time.

If you need quick cuts and the like, this is your spot. They’re open pretty much all week (except Mondays and Sundays), which makes it convenient for anyone popping in during a busy week. Accessibility-wise, it’s nice to know there’s a wheelchair-accessible entrance—definitely a plus.

Overall, for a butcher shop in Kilkenny, Cullen’s has a lot to offer. A mix of quality meat, personal service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it worth checking out, if you ask me.
