Kilkenny Stag?

Question

Hi there, do you know if Stag Partys (Irish guys) are welcome in Kilkenny nowadays. I heard that they might be banning them but I'm not sure ??

Answer 1

well they can't ban them but they have pretty much ruined saturday nights out in kilkenny, the pubs now all have to stop serving at 1:30 due to all the problems with drink in the city on saturday nights, there are no late night bars, some places won't let you in if ye are all drunk or in a huge group together

Answer 2

as far as im aware they have been banned...its also hard for any large group of people to get in places.  Im from Waterford - a bus load of my friends went out in Kilkenny a few weeks back.

Answer 3

I was there last year for a hen weekend, we went for dinner in one of the main venues on the saturday night, spent well over €500 between 6 of us, and weren't allowed into the nightclub in the same building (which was full of kids!) until the bride to be took off the angel halo she was wearing.  We weren't rowdy or noisy at all, and none of the rest of us were wearing any hen paraphernalia, so I thought it was totally over the top.  I'm assuming this means they won't welcome stag parties with open arms!
