Kilkenny pub 'humbled' as they close their doors for the final time

Earlier this week, Tim's Bar in Thomastown confirmed it would close its doors for the final time on Saturday, August 31.

"All of us here want to say a huge 'thank you' to you the punters, that have walked through our door over the last (nearly) seven years and to those we served at the door during Covid," the local pub posted to social media.

The Kilkenny pub and its many customers partied the final night way alongside DJ Pat Treacy into the early hours of the morning with many customers paying glowing tributes in person and online.
