Kyteler's Pub is one of the most famous, and certainly one of the oldest, in Kilkenny. It also comes with a fascinating history. The original owner of Kyteler's Inn was Dame Alice Le Kyteler, also famed as being the last witch in Ireland. In her time she gained notoriety not least because she had four husbands and a considerable fortune. Her enemies conspired to accuse her of witchcraft but she was never burnt at the stake having escaped to England. What is on record is the Kyteler's Inn was “a place of merrymaking and good cheer” and it remains that way today! Some say it’s haunted – sounds like some place! The pubs. There are many of them and they are nearly always busy and full of interesting characters, both local and blow-ins. There are small local haunts. There are 3-storey mega bars. There are cheesy tourist haunts. There are pubs that have been operating for hundreds of years. Go to Matt the Millers for a pint. Go to Langton’s for a dance. Mingle in The Left Bank. Whatever you’re looking for, Kilkenny has it all. And more.
