KYTELER'S INN
Read moreThis is an unmissable address in the city to drink a tea or a Guinness after a long day of visits. This pub is indeed nestled in the oldest house in Kilkenny (it dates back to 1324) which was once home to Lady Alice Kyteler, the witch of Kilkenny! A pleasant setting where you can also have a bite to eat while enjoying a menu of good Irish specialties. Its tavern atmosphere in the basement is particularly nice, and there is also a pleasant beer garden. Concerts take place regularly.
