Friendly staffAtmosphere
Bollards is our favorite pub in Kilkenny. This was our 3rd time to Kilkenny and we stop in here every time for pints, food, sessions, and overall great craic. Cheers to Damien who was our bartender and took great care of us. We enjoyed chatting with him and a few other locals. It feels like a home away from home. Can’t wait to come back soon!
Fine place but we had to leave because staff weren't arsed to tell a group of French kids to stop vaping at the bar.
Had a lovely evening at Bollards. Fantastic service and great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and professional. Looking forward to going back
