Kennedy's Irish Bar in Altrincham

Oh, what a treat Kennedy's Irish Bar is; it's one of those places that just wraps you up in its charm from the moment you step inside. I love how they've nailed that authentic Irish feel, with the traditional tunes playing and everyone joining in for a sing-along – it's like stepping into a cosy corner of the Emerald Isle right here in Altrincham. The Guinness is spot on, and if you're lucky enough to visit on a weekend, the food is an absolute winner; I had a roast beef dinner that was so generous, I ended up sharing it, and it still hit the spot perfectly. They've got live music and all sorts of events that keep things buzzing, making it a brilliant choice for a laugh with mates or celebrating something special. That said, it's not without its little niggles – the food's only on offer from Friday to Sunday, so if you're mid-week, you might just be there for the drinks and the craic, which is still lovely but not quite as filling. And on busier nights, it can get a tad crowded, so if you're after a peaceful pint, you might want to time your visit wisely. All in all, it's a welcoming spot that does the Irish pub tradition proud, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go for a proper, heart-warming experience.
