🍀 Kyteler’s Inn Kyteler’s Inn Address: St Kieran’s St, Gardens, Kilkenny, Ireland Hay sitios que están bien… y luego están los que se quedan contigo para siempre. Este es uno de esos. Entrar en Kyteler’s Inn no es simplemente ir a tomar algo. Es cruzar una puerta y meterte dentro de más de 700 años de historia viva. Aquí no hay decorado artificial: las paredes, las vigas, la piedra… todo ha visto pasar siglos de historias, risas, conspiraciones… y alguna que otra. Si vas a Kilkenny y no entras aquí, te estás perdiendo una parte esencial de Irlanda. Este pub, fundado en 1324, es uno de los más antiguos del país Pero lo realmente especial no es solo la antigüedad… es la historia que hay detrás. Fue propiedad de Alice Kyteler, una mujer adelantada a su tiempo, rica, independiente… y por eso mismo peligrosa para muchos. Tuvo cuatro maridos, acumuló fortuna y poder, y eso despertó envidias. Al final, acabó acusada de brujería en lo que fue uno de los primeros juicios por este motivo en Europa . ¿La realidad? Probablemente fue víctima de intereses y conspiraciones. Pero la leyenda quedó. Se decía que practicaba magia, que tenía un “demonio amante” y que realizaba rituales extraños… y aunque ella consiguió escapar, una de sus sirvientas fue ejecutada. A partir de ahí, la historia se convirtió en mito, y el lugar quedó marcado para siempre . Y lo mejor de todo es que esa historia se respira hoy. 🍺 La experiencia El ambiente es simplemente brutal: • Música tradicional irlandesa en directo • Gente local mezclada con viajeros de todo el mundo • Rincones medievales con velas, piedra y madera original • Diferentes salas, cada una con su propia personalidad Hay momentos en los que miras alrededor y parece que estás dentro de una película. Te pides una pinta (obligatorio), empiezas tranquilo… y sin darte cuenta llevas horas allí. Es de esos sitios donde el tiempo se te escapa. Sí, es turístico. Pero aquí eso no es algo malo. Porque a diferencia de otros sitios, esto no es una copia de Irlanda… es Irlanda de verdad. Lleva funcionando siglos como lugar de encuentro, fiesta y conversación. De hecho, ya en su origen era conocido como un sitio de “alegría y buen ambiente” . Incluso hay quien habla de presencias, de sombras… de que la historia no se ha ido del todo. Y cuando estás allí de noche, con la música sonando y la luz baja… lo entiendes. Un sitio con alma. No es el pub más moderno, ni el más perfecto… pero tiene algo que no se puede fabricar: carácter, historia y verdad. Sales con la sensación de haber vivido algo, no solo de haber tomado una cerveza. Muy recomendable. De los que recuerdas años después.

This is a lively pub with awesome music and delicious food! When the music isn’t playing, you’ll find rugby playing on the TV screens if you’re lucky! When in Kilkenny you definitely have to have a pint here!

Un sitio precioso, pero cuidado con el zumo de naranja, no es de verdad😂😋

Música en directo y muy buen ambiente

Perfecto tanto para tomarte unas bebidas como para comer. Platos abundantes y ricos. Los camareros muy amables. Recomendable 100%

Muy buen ambiente. Comida estupenda, tradicional, precio asequible, servicio muy bueno y rápido.

Un lugar muy bonito. Servicio increíblemente rápido y comida estupenda. Su cerveza artesanal está increíble.

El sitio es muy bonito y acogedor y la comida está muy bien.

Comida genial, cervezas mejores y variedad, música en directo y todas las zonas comunes que tiene(pub, bar, sótano y el patio-disco) Amazing

Me gustó muchísimo, la comida está buena y el ambiente es guay.

Sitio tradicional irlandes con buena comida en edificio de piedra. Muy recomendable

Excelente e imprescindible para quienes quieren disfrutar de buena comida, buena cerveza y buena música. Queda en pleno centro de Kilkenny.

Restaurante y pub a la vez. Hay un bar en el sótano muy animado. El cheesecake de baileys muy rico.

Fish and chips muy bueno. Buen precio. Personal majo.

Buena comida a un excelente precio. Muy bonito

Tipico pub irlandes con una historia-leyenda sugerente

Hemos ido a comer un día de semana. Hermoso pub, buena atención y comida.

Un sitio emblemático , con historia de brujería . La carta no es nada extensa , ayuda a no perder tiempo escogiendo. Yo tomé unas salchichas con puré q estaban ricas , buena cantidad sin pasarse.

Impresionante restaurante que según dice, lleva desde el siglo XIV. La comida muy buena y la atención de las camareras, excelente

La comida muy buena, buen ambiente, precio razonable. Personal muy majo.

Autentico pub irlandés con buenas cervezas, comida excelente y trato del personal inmejorable. Los camareros son rápidos,efectivos, muy educados y amables. Una experiencia inolvidable. Recomiendo el cordero con patatas, riquísimo.

Un sitio muy especial en Kilkenny con siglos de historia y mucha magia. Fish and chips con una Guiness y a disfrutar.

Sin duda uno de los mejores sitios donde comer en Kilkenny. La comida espectacular y el sitio es típico irlandés de estilo medieval. ¡Un 10!

Un lugar muy agradable y auténtico donde comer y pasar un buen rato . Si visitáis Kilkenny lo recomiendo muchísimo. El Roast Beef sin duda es una elección segura.

Comida abundante y riquísima! Family friendly, puedes estar con los niños hasta las 9 pm aprox sin problema, así que pudimos disfrutar de Irish music en directo!!

Pub irlandés con un beer garden muy agradable. Tienen su propia cerveza una irish red ale muy apañada, maltosa y sabrosa. Tome un estofado de cordero delicioso

Bonito y antiguo pub. Cuando hay actuación se llena demasiado, y prácticamente no queda sitio. Buena comida y mejor bebida.

Inesperada sorpresa en nuestro paseo por Kilkenny, teníamos ganas de comer vimos este pub y dijimos vamos a entrar. Entramos, nos atendieron estupendamente, y comimos fenomenal, el guiso de lamb, buenísimo, mi cuñado pidió una salchicha y le gustaron, y yo una hamburguesa que estaba muy muy buena, en fin, que si te dejas caer por Kilkenny, es una muy buena opción.

Bar irlandés con mucha solera. Ya el edificio es espectacular por fuera, pero al entrar lo es aún más si se puede. En un rincón tienen una estatua de una bruja y al lado la historia de por qué está ahí. La comida estaba muy rica, especialmente un guiso de cordero que es típico de la zona. Me encantaría volver por la noche con música en directo.

Me gustó wl Pub muy gótico , la comida fue rápido, recomiendo la lasagna. Buenísima

Emblemático lugar que conserva su esencia antigua, sientes que estás en la época medieval. Muy buena comida y servicio, su whiskey es el mejor que he probado, el bar pasa muy lleno por lo que a veces es difícil encontrar asiento.

Had a really lovely evening here. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect for both food and drinks, welcoming, and great vibes all around. The bartenders and the floor staff were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the night. A special mention to Tristan, who truly made the evening so special. He was funny, personable, and genuinely helpful, making us feel completely looked after from start to finish. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place

Harry Banks

Was in here for food a few days back with my son and it was very pleasant. We were served by Aaron who did an incredible job considering my son’s dietary restrictions & made sure we were well taken care of throughout our time here! Food was fantastic and so was the atmosphere! Thumbs up from me.

Jack C

Had a brilliant night in Kyteler’s Inn! The atmosphere is unreal — proper Kilkenny vibe with great music, loads of character, and a really lively crowd. The staff were friendly and fast even when it was busy, and the drinks were spot on. Big shoutout to Tristan behind the bar — absolute legend. Super sound, great craic, and kept everything running smoothly. Made the night even better. Would 100% recommend if you’re in Kilkenny!

Sinead Hayes

Went to this pub for lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is great and full of history, and the staff were really welcoming. Aaron, in particular, was really friendly and made sure we were looked after. The food and drinks were great, and I’ll definitely be back!

Lorraine Lally

Great atmosphere and full of character, Kyteler’s Inn is a must-visit in Kilkenny. Lovely traditional setting, tasty pub food, and a real buzz, especially with live music in the evenings. Special mention to Tristan behind the bar - friendly, welcoming, and makes the experience even better. Would definitely return.

kelly mcfarlane

Definitely a place to visit if you are in Kilkenny!! Good atmosphere good food and good music especially on Sundays in the courtyard. Staff are really friendly. Special shout out to Peter the barman he could not do enough for us. We will definitely be back !

Michael Falsey

I recently visited Kytlers with my young family ( two adults 4 children) from the moment we arrived the atmosphere was welcoming , lovely and full of character, the staff member Peter was friendly, attentive and incredibly accommodating, especially considering we were a big group. The food was excellent, generous portions,and the kids loved their meals,and were plenty of great options. The historic charm of the building added something special to the experience Overall Kytlers inn offered great food, warm hospitality and a enjoyable family dining experience. 5 star could not be happier

Kelly Shaw

Our most recent visit we stopped by Kyteler’s for a lunch, a dinner and whiskey tasting. We were a large group of 10 and they were very accommodating each time we came in. The food was amazing (some of the best our whole trip) and service was friendly and efficient. We even had the pleasure of live music during the whiskey tasting and JD made us feel like VIP guests. We can't wait to come back and try some of their new whiskey!

Plamen Dimov

A great place to have dinner and a beer. The food is delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pub is housed in an old building connected to the story of Alice, who was declared a witch. You can read about her story on the back of the menu.

We went on Halloween night to enjoy a meal and try the famous Kilkenny beer in the actual town. We also appreciate the quiet and efficient staff and the live music starting around 6 pm. Our advice is to go between 5 to 6.30 pm if you want a table. Also the ambiance is really fitting for a Halloween outing between adults, considering the backstory of the place. It is definitely worth it’s reputation.

Laurie Hiscock

Stopped in for lunch on a day trip to Kilkenny. As we only had a couple of hours to spend in Town we really appreciated the quick service. They had a couple of beers that were only available at the Inn and it was very good. The toastie was amazing. The atmosphere was so awesome. We visited in October so it was decorated for Halloween which made it even more fun. Would highly recommend.

Jessica Tremblay

Went here for lunch with husband and son. Had a good kids menu and lots of different options for food. It was very busy so you can tell it's very popular. On top of the typical "haunted" style decorations, they had extra halloween decor which my son loved. service was polite but curt, food came quickly and was pretty good (not the best pub food we've had in Ireland). But the goat cheese tartlet was delicious! Worth it for the overall ambience and experience.

Jennifer M

A huge thank you to JD Flynn and Kytelers Inn for a fantastic Irish coffee making class today! Best Irish coffee we’ve ever had! JD is a great storyteller, and not only did we enjoy the Irish coffee making class, but we were also given an underground cavern tour, history and story of Dame Alice and Petronella which brought historic Kilkenny to life. We may have even seen a spirit or two 👻 🐈‍⬛. Don’t miss this amazing stop during your visit to Kilkenny. Book early, it’s sure to be a sellout.

Jacob Tennant

Amazing atmosphere with live music and a lovely crowd. Got a few beers here and listened to some Irish tunes. Gets a bit crowded during the music, but it's well worth it.

Patrícia Matos

Loved this place and the food is good. We ordered the fish & chips and the breaded fillet of chicken (I asked for the gravy on the side). The food was warm/hot and it was comforting. I think this the place you want to go if you want a tasty/quick meal and feel like you travelled through time. Loved the theme of the restaurant and the history. All the servers were so nice and our food was quick. They had the restaurant full and we felt like everything went smoothly. For the bill you have to get up and go to the side of the bar, that's where you'll pay.

Buena comida

Buenos platos, precio correcto

Buenas atención

Il locale è veramente bello!!!! Continuavo a girarmi intorno mentre eravamo seduti al tavolo. Il personale è stato gentile. Birra buona! Il panino che ho preso non era dei migliori (per i miei gusti), la zuppa molto buona, così come il piatto del giorno. I nuggets dei bambini son finiti ne deduco che hanno apprezzato, la pasta del menù bimbi invece non era delle migliori. Consiglio di fermarvi

La comida está muy bien, sin pretensiones pero suficiente y bien preparada. Lo más bonito es el sitio en sí y su história.

Se come bien y tranquilo. Los platos a precios razonables y buenos

Precioso pub típico donde se pueden tomar unas guinness y comer. La decoración del local es fantástica y el servicio bueno.

El lugar tiene mucho ambiente y música en directo, pero es caro y se llena muchísimo de gente y casi no te puedes mover porque molestas.

Buena comida, y buen servicio, el precio más o menos 20 euros o más por comensal

Un pub impresionante, la comida muy buena el servicio muy amigable pero un poco caro à mi gusto

Se come bien y tienen buen servicio. Música estupenda.

Pub irlandés tipico. Fish and chips y otros platos de la zona

Sitio con encanto y agradable.Comida y cerveza aceptable

Estuvimos comiendo en el pub Kyteler’s Inn de Kilkenny y la experiencia fue muy recomendable. Elegimos sentarnos en la parte más antigua del local, a la que se accede por un lateral del edificio. Es la zona de abajo, con techos bajos, muros de piedra y una atmósfera muy especial. La sensación es casi la de estar en una cueva medieval, con luz tenue, velas, madera envejecida y pequeños detalles decorativos que hacen que el sitio tenga mucho carácter sin parecer forzado. Se nota que han cuidado el ambiente para mantener el espíritu original del lugar, pero sin que resulte incómodo. Es acogedor, limpio y con una ambientación que llama la atención desde que entras. La historia del pub —ligada a la figura de Alice Kyteler, acusada de brujería en el siglo XIV— está presente de manera sutil pero constante, lo que añade un punto de interés sin convertirlo en un sitio turístico al uso. La comida estuvo bien: platos clásicos irlandeses, bien servidos, con raciones generosas y a buen precio. El servicio fue rápido y amable. En resumen, un sitio con personalidad, bien montado, que merece la pena tanto por el ambiente como por la comida. Ideal para comer o tomar algo en un lugar con historia real.

La comida no estaba mal aunque el filete empanado esperaba que fuera más filete que un trozo grande de pechuga.

Interesante restaurante con comida tradicional irlandesa. La decoración y el aspecto general es muy rústico, pero la comida está muy buena. El personal es joven, amable y atento. Los precios son razonables. Hay música en directo a las 18h y las 20:30h.

Es un muy antiguo pub con zonas que parecen grutas o bodegas antiguas, y que además tiene su leyenda; su primera dueña fue acusada de brujería aunque al final quemaron a su doncella. En cualquier caso merece la pena su visita. Los pasteles que no tomamos con el café muy ricos.

Un pub con mucho ambiente y música en vivo, muy agradable. Se come bien, aunque los precios de la carta son diferentes a los de su página web, algo que no está bien.

Lugar bastante recomendable para disfrutar de unas cervezas y tomar algo, si se quiere. Tiene varios espacios diferentes y, algunos días, música en vivo. El ambiente es de gente más mayor, pero se está muy bien.

Bonito sitio, comida buena, recomendable. En el reverso de la carta, cuentan la historia sobre una bruja que vivía allí, y dicen que todavía ronda por allí.😁

Muy buena comida al mediodía. Po la tarde/noche, sino comes no permiten que te sientes en ninguna mesa a tomar una bebida. Van muy de sobrados.

Mark Molloy

Nice bar but pricey. A pint and a half pint was 12€ didn't get food but it looked and smelled great.

Damien Mc Sweeney

There was a lot of hype around this bar as one of the absolute must see historical places in Kilkenny so in we popped. To be fair it was very nice with friendly staff, clean toilets and lots of tourists passing through, but l couldnt see what all the hype was about (maybe l missed something) We didnt have the food but it looked nice. It's in the historical center close to both the castle and the cathedral so conveniently located if you want to give it a try.

We visited Kytelers Inn during our trip to Kilkenny. The food was genuinely good, flavorful and well prepared, and the historic atmosphere added a nice touch to the experience. However, the service really let the visit down. It was incredibly difficult to get our waiter’s attention for drink refills or even to ask for the check. I understand that service in Europe tends to be more hands off, but this was by far the worst we experienced during our two weeks in Ireland. Unfortunately, it left a sour note on what could have been a great meal.

Pretty good. Entered at opening time (opening was later than quite a few other pubs in the area). Wasn’t able to confirm they were opening as common information sources weren’t updated for the unusual hours of May holiday and phone was unavailable for the period we waited hopefully outside. Almost filled with customers within 15 minutes of opening. Given the location and history, the food is reasonably priced (mains around €19). Starters were very good but mains we had were average at best. Table service staff very efficient and friendly. Draft beer (Smithwicks pale ale and Kilkenny smooth ale) quality suggests the taps could use a little maintenace as beer had some acidic odours and flavours. Toilets were okay, not gleaming. Not an unusual experience for a well trodden famous pub. Overall reasonably good experience and would return but not extraordinary (apart from the historic location, which is special).

Buen pub, aunque cuando acabo la música se empezó a vaciar y teníamos la sensación que nos estanbam echado a la calle.

Fuimos por la leyenda que hay sobre este pub y no encontramos nada relacionado con ella. Buena decoración, comida aceptable y buen servicio. Nada reseñable.

Comida mala: papas fritas congeladas, el estafado de cordero con espesante. Los camareros poco amables, excepto el jefe. El local estafado bonito y había buen ambiente. No lo recomiendo para comer.

Just popped in for a drink and some snacks. The chips (fries) were ok. Nothing special but the history of the pub and service were great!

El sitio puede valer para tomar una cerveza, ya que es lo que esperas de una taberna irlandesa, pero la comida no es lo esperado. Mal la hamburguesa, mal el rostbeef, mal fish and chips (son barritas de pescado).

Food was okay. We came here just before Christmas looking for a soup and sandwich. My partner asked what was on the Christmas panini and the waitress replied ‘you know just the normal stuff that’s on a Christmas sandwich’ which was a bit poor. My partner ordered that while I just ordered garlic bread and a soft drink. Neither of us ordered any alcohol. Our bill came to €40 which I thought was shocking, they didn’t even give us a proper bill with the price of everything, we were just told to go up to the bar to pay. My partner paid and I kept telling him to go back in and get the itemised receipt because I couldn’t understand how one panini, a starter and 2 soft drinks ended up being €40 but he didn’t want to bother which is our fault. Thought the service was decent at best, the waitresses were nice but have had better service. But the price, I feel robbed. We’re coming from Dublin so I can understand the city centre being more expensive but this was really basic food for extortionate price. The inside of the pub is nice, and I’m sure it would’ve been nice for dinner but our experience for a small Sunday lunch was mediocre.

Pedimos dos sandwiches y una porción de patatas, que son 7+7+4'50 y nos han cobrado más sin avisarnos de nada. El ambiente del local mola pero tómate una cerveza para comer mejor en otro sitio NO VENGÁIS A COMER A ESTE SITIO, SOLO BEBER. añado las fotos para que se vea lo que nos han cobrado y la diferencia... Luego la camareras todo bordes...
