Live Music at the Smithwick’s Barrel Yard – Bad Mothers Union Saturday, 12 September | From 5pm Join us at the iconic Smithwick’s Barrel Yard for an evening of live music with Bad Mothers Union. Self-described as “a whirling dervish of unbridled self-expression”, the band delivers a powerful modern psych-rock sound, fusing soaring melodies, raw energy, and influences reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine and At The Drive-In. The Barrel Yard is Kilkenny’s ultimate spot to start the weekend, featuring a heated and sheltered outdoor bar, great drinks, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting Kilkenny or a local looking to unwind, it’s the perfect place to enjoy live music, meet new people, and soak up the unique ambience. Pets are welcome too. *Free Entry | Heated & Sheltered Outdoor Bar | Dog Friendly | Great Atmosphere
