Well known and much loved barman at Tynan's Bridge House Bar, Liam Phelan pulled his final pint after an illustrious career behind the bar in May.

The occasion brought back many happy and nostalgic memories for Liam's countless customers and friends.

Phelan has become a treasured part of Kilkenny life for over 27 years, spreading his stories, joy and happy days to locals and visitors alike.

The barman's generosity, good humour and kindness has made him one of the city's most popular and cherished charachters in that time, with his departure marking the end of an era.

We wish Liam all the very best in his retirement!
