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 there again!

Cool place. 1/2 price apps and interesting decor. They let us move the pong table to set up gear for my friend's band. Def coming back. Thanks, guys.

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 young females

Stopped in at KillKenny Pub while in town for a graduation weekend in Keene. The place has a lot going for it - great beer selection, affordable bar food, and a crowd full of interesting characters. Definitely has that local landmark vibe we’d heard about.
Unfortunately, the experience was soured by the bartender on duty. The service was cold and dismissive from the start. Despite tipping after each round, we were met with attitude and poor customer service throughout our visit. We later found out that this individual was actually the manager, which made it even more disappointing.
It’s a shame - with a better front-of-house experience, this could’ve been a spot we’d come back to. But being treated poorly by the person in charge makes us think twice about returning next time we’re in town.
Good choice of beer. Friendly service. Reasonable prices for drinks. Banging atmosphere every evening.

Worst experience of my LIFE. Absolutely the rudest staff ever. The food is garbage. Cash only. No darts anymore.

I am an Irish citizen on exchange semester abroad, I am 21, and have gone to every pub in Keene so far, when I went to kilkennys a supposedly Irish bar, they said my drivers licence was not acceptable as it was not issued in the United States, which I found both discriminatory, and arbitrary. I would not recommend this bar to any international students or tourist visiting Keene.
Pet friendly which was awesome.
