Kilkenny Pub — Restaurant in Keene

I enjoy going out and having drinks and playing pool every so often with my buddy and we never have any issues with service or getting served or with the staff except for one specific bartender who seems to target my friend,wego with on multiple occasions just to play pool and have a few drinks by our second drink the bartender will refuse service to my friend,at which point he will go out of his way to refuse service and question you if you are with my friend if he decides to give you a drink he will sit there before making the drink and tell me that she can’t have any more,she isn’t allowed to drink any of this and even going so far as refusing to serve her water if she asks for it directly and stating “it doesn’t sober you up” and even choosing to leave behind the bar to come out to a pool table and tell her she can’t drink more and even try to kick her out,not me or anyone of our friends have any issues getting served with any other bartenders but it really feels like he singles her out every single time either of them are at the bar,it seems like he’s eyeballing what he believes she can drink based on her size and gender because I see absolutely no one at the bar having these issues besides her and other...

This place SUCKS! We went there tonight with 3 in our party (Two 50 year olds and our 75 year old handicapped mom) Mom was having a hard time walking the downtown and carrying her purse so I asked her to leave her purse in the car. We finally arrived at this bar and the woman at the door refused to let us in because our mother did not have her ID. She insisted we leave and go back to our car to get the ID. She would not make any exception. We went to 3 other restaurants/bars in Keene tonight and NO ONE else asked us for ID. Sounds like we are paying for their previous indiscretions or poor staffing choices. We asked the door lady for a manager and she is the manager and would not get anyone else to assist us. She simply said “it’s NH law” and did not care about the situation at all. My husband and I owned a bar for 7-years and never would we have treated an elderly customer, or any other customer, that way. No empathy at all! Get a brain, we are not robots. We will never go...

This is a really nice place to go to chill with friends, play some pool, mingle, listen to tunes or all of the above! It's a great place to go for those of us who arent into/more mature than the straight up College scene but not quite old enough/too spunky to be visiting an "old man's bar!" They have a good happy hour, just wish they either had more than one per day or weren't as pricy as they are when it's normal hours. Also would change up the music options. Maybe put a small spot in where people can get their groove on a little bit more than up against a pool table lol. Other than that, good people, good food/drink makers, and a nicely sized establishment. Not too hot, not too cold and, better yet, you're allowed to bring your drink outside when smoking, (if you are one), rather than leave it inside and risk getting roofied, or having it...
