We're celebrating five years of Kennedy's Irish Bar in Altrincham. Five years! We couldn't let that one go by quietly, so we threw five days of live music at it over the bank holiday, brought back happy hour for the occasion, and somehow even managed to order in the sunshine.

The first iteration of Kennedy's Altrincham with its red exterior and outdoor seating on the street.

Sunday's £5 offers, changing every few hours, went down an absolute treat, and Saturday's £5 pints and 2 for £14 spritz didn't hurt either. Honestly, the whole weekend was just one big thank you to everyone who's walked through our doors since we opened.

And what a five years it's been. We started out as a small bar on Greenwood Street, doubled the size of the place in 2023, and opened our second home in Didsbury in 2025. As for what's coming in 2026, we're not saying yet, but watch this space as there's some big announcements on the way.

We couldn't have done any of it without you lot.

Here's to the next five. Kennedy's Altrincham 5th birthday.
