Our Favourite Pubs

John Cleeres, 28 Parliament Street, Kilkenny.

This cosy and traditional Irish pub offers beside a great atmosphere and friendly service also a variety of Irish traditional music every Monday. It also has a 100 seater venue at the rear, where good quality Irish music is performed every weekend. Highly recommended.

Andrew Ryan, Frairy Street, Kilkenny.

Ryans is located in the centre of Kilkenny City just around the corner from the City Hall. Good tunes, good beer and good company. This is the house of good music in Kilkenny if you like traditional, blues and country rock. There is a fabulous beer garden and a comfortable smoking area.

Carrolls, Logan Street, Thomastown, Kilkenny.

This is a really traditional Irish pub, and the cosy , warm and friendly atmosphere greets you. The enthusiastic staff give you the best of service. Traditional Irish music sessions are held here regularly and the craic is great. The best of pub grub is offered and during the summer there is a spectacular beer garden open which also features a barbeque.

And last but not least our own local pub here in Cuffsgrange, 10 minutes walk from Ballybur castle. Proprietors Liam and Marianne Murphy host the 'sitting room' of the locals. The craic is mighty!
