Hayden’s

I used to go here a lot more. The location is good and the staff friendly. Great place to watch rugby. Its small with low ceilings and it gets packed so not always easy to get a seat etc but we have had some great sessions. They used to have irish music and dancing not sure if its still on but depending on your preference you could go or avoid on that night. Personally I would avoid as its not my thing. Still a lovely little pub with a great pint.

Christmas time so it’s time to go back to the home town haunts and get asked a million and one questions and revert to your secondary school status — joy.
I like this place during the day, the open fire is a place were I listened to many a story. I like this place during the day for a quiet one but at night it’s heaving and very local. It’s very much a horsey pub with all the pictures on the wall.
Smoking area out the back is very popular.

Hayden’s is a great place to start a good Saturday night with your mates. Its location means you have the option of heading to Lawlors pub (across the road) or finnish off your night in Graces late bar till 2.30am (also across the road).
It’s great for a quite pint on Thursdays and Fridays and there is a long room to the left of the front of the bar that hold two long tables that can hold 8or more people which means you can have a cosy chat or a big group of friends together for laugh without being pushed in all directions by other Hayden’s goers.
There seems to be mostly the same faces there from week to week but the place gets pretty busy on Saturday nights and is unbearably packed when there is a match on or when the punchestown festival kicks off.
The bar men are really sound and once you’ve been there more than two or three times they tend to remember your order before you get a chance to think what it is you actually drink.
In the end part of the building (still inside) there are two doors that lead into the INDOOR (roof is slightly razed) smoking area. I’m not really sure how this place was passed for smoking area laws as it is directly attached to the pub and the roof is only slightly razed (and glass collectors seem to come in and out of here regularly to clean ashtrays and take away empty glasses but this place attracts most of the clientele and it gets extremely packed on Saturday nights. Oh and they do provide heater’s that come in handy on night’s where body heat isn’t provided (Midweek).
The ceilings are low and any of you who are of the tall verity be warned to duck while walking under door frames.
On weeknights (I think its Tuesday nights) they have a free ceilí down the bottom of the pub and although I’ve never taken part (I have no idea how to dance to Irish music) it looks like a good laugh and the locals love it.
I’m really not a big fan of going out in Naas (or Naas in general) but most weekends the funds don’t tend to stretch to Dublin so Hayden’s is just the place to keep you sane for the time in which you are stuck in this very little town.
