    I spend a great deal of time in both Kilkenny and Waterford (cities), and have lived in both. Both have their ups and downs, and I couldnt care less about rivalry.

    Slightly off topic but has anyone noticed in recent weeks that the vibrancy of Kilkenny's nightlife on a saturday night is practically non existant these times?

    Ok i realise we're in a recession and st patricks day just around the is corner but the general buzz around the city is absolute zilch.

    I remember when johns bridge used be thronged with people crossing over it and people were going in and out of pubs and clubs almost continously. It was such a popular spot for tourists, hen partys etc even during the early days of the bust and this was almost every weekend.

    It's just a sign of the times I'd say and I know a lot of young people seem to be in Australia or other places too. Haven't been in a nightclub in Kilkenny in years but I'd say drink isn't cheap either.

    Nail on the head. Drink prices in KK are on a par with Dublin and worse in many cases as you rarely get any kind of deals in KK like €3 pints etc. €4.50 pint in Left Bank anyone?! God forbid they would have to lower their rpices (slightly) to attract a few more in. Prices in KK are still boom era prices in severe reccessionary times. Unless something changes the quite times will continue.

    Not even considering certain establishments who up the price maybe twice a night and customers kinda oblivious to it. People are having a few drinks at home before they even head out too and maybe not even lasting a night cos of it.

    Definitely agree that night life in Kilkenny is an at a major low ebb. Certainly the lowest I can remember since 2000 or so (basically when I stopped being underage).

    Parliament Street is completely dead apart from Cleeres, which still packs them in, and upstairs in the Pumphouse (where all the underagers hide). High Street is a dead duck. The Field and Left Bank provide a bit of life on the Parade but it's not all that busy. John Street is the same.

    The problem with Kilkenny is that all the young ones have fled leaving behind the whinging oldies of the town, but it is prettier than Waterford, if only one could park the car, you can't in Waterford either.
    You can in Dungarvan, and it has the Tannery restaurant , plus the magical romantic sea right up to the centre almost.
    A lover's paradise, beat that.

    Same in Waterford boy, nobody has any money and the media are doing their best to blow the head off us all with the negative vibes, coffe shops are the new pubs for atmosphere!

    im a tipp man and am lucky enough to be geographically near both places as options to go out with Clonmel, Thurles and possibly Portlaoise and Carlow being other options.

    Both were great places to go out in but its very sad to see that the current economic situation has done to the nightlife in the respective cities. Was in waterford last night and you wouldnt think it was a bank holiday sunday. It was dead. It could be that people are prioritising (paddys night over sunday) or the greater worry is that emigration has taken a firm grip over ireland.
