I'm partial to [Hexchat], although it is on the old-school side UI-wise.

[Hexchat]: https://packages.guix.gnu.org/packages/hexchat

Installing the client is enough.

If you don't use IRC often, Guix gives the option of downloading and running 
Hexchat without really installing it (like any other package) - this would look 
like this:

```sh
guix shell hexchat gtk:bin -- hexchat
```

I had to add `gtk:bin` to make it use my selected icon theme. AFAIK it can be 
made unnecessary in the packaging process, but I guess it's not done here.
