Wilma goes to Kilkenny – December 2013

So for my first stop off I headed for Kilkenny. I always get such a feeling of suspense and excitement upon entering Kilkenny and that feeling was just as I had hoped and and even greater with the festive lights and Christmas cheer that was filling the busy Saturday night streets. Arriving to my hotel, I was given a very friendly welcome by the young girl at the reception desk and I could not help… but feel an instant feeling of warmth and cosiness which was created by the lovely fire that was lit along with the general warmth and laid back atmosphere in the hotel. Just to mention the parking was great, Car Parking is available in the Ormonde Street Multi Storey Car Park. This is a public car park which is located directly opposite the side entrance of the hotel. The hotel covers the overnight parking charges in this car park from 6pm each evening until 12 noon the following day, for each night of your stay. Outside of the hours which the hotel covers, a fee of €1.50 per hour applies for parking. My bedroom was very inviting, clean, warm, cosy and comfortable – just what you would expect it to be. After dolling myself up and throwing on my dancing shoes I went across to check out the Left Bank, Kilkenny. There was a great buzz in there and lots of space. It was one of the finest bars I have been in with amazing interior that was quite something to look at. The atmosphere was electric with lots of spacious snug areas which offer excellent seating areas for private parties and while your at it, take in a cocktail class to really give your party a great start to the night. By all accounts the mixologists here are amongst the best in town. After a couple of glasses of Prosecco it was time to make my way for dinner in the Hibernian City Bar & Grill and to say fab food was an understatement. The menu selection was absolutely brill with great choice and the food that followed was nothing short of delicious with a complimentary glass of prosecco too which was a lovely little treat I must say. I overdone it on the selection of desserts but nothing the resident dj afterwards didn’t sort out with all the dancing we did to work off the meal. We didn’t even have to leave our table. The staff cleared away some of the tables to give way for some leg room for the dance floor but our table didn’t need to be moved. We danced the night away here and had an absolute epic night. I definitely would recommend Kilkenny to our Hen Party groups as a location to celebrate your Big Night as it has so much to offer by means of hotels, restaurants, bars & clubs along with activities that will keep you all entertained by day – the list is endless to what you could do by day. But as I was only here for the night I carefully chose my spots that I wanted to try out so I could tell you all about them. So for now I will sign off and I will chat to you all again soon following my next adventure. For further information on having your Hen Night in Kilkenny, chat to the girls here at Hen Party Central to see how they can make your night the absolute best out of any hen night you have been to and reap the rewards by not only getting the best hen night but by getting the best rates too.
