Bold Flavours and Vibrant Bar Culture!

If the name over the door – Paris Texas – stands out from what you might expect, then apply that thought to everything inside the door. From the warmth of a rare Irish wh***ey (and the stove) in the well stocked Wh***ey Bar to the vast range of Irish and continental beers and authentic American food and expertly crafted cocktails in the saloon bar to the shared joy of live sport and music in the courtyard - Paris Texas are sure to have something for everyone. The warm Irish welcome and excellent service do, however, remain the same.

We are saddened at the recent passing of Eamonn Langton of Langton’s Hotel. For the last decade, Eamonn was an enthusiastic supporter of our Guild. His will be a great loss to Kilkenny and its hospitality sector. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Now serving as a pub and Tavern, the current family owners have kept true to using local produce and great fare for locals and visitors alike.

Situated 6-minute walk from Kilkenny Castle along the Medieval Mile, Kyteler's Inn is a necessary stop for visitors to replenish your energy and to enjoy a bit of local “craic” (fun) and traditional music in an authentic medieval setting.
