Kyteler's Inn
An old pub dating back to 1324, linked to Alice Kyteler, the central figure of Ireland's first recorded witch trial.
Kyteler's Inn is said to be Kilkenny's oldest pub. Its original owner, Alice Kyteler, was accused of witchcraft in 1324 in what is Ireland's first recorded witchcraft trial. She fled to England, while her maid was burned at the stake. Today the pub keeps its stone-walled, vaulted cellar and serves Irish stews, seafood and local beers, with live traditional music almost every night. Weekend evenings are busy, so book ahead if you can. It is located on St Kieran's Street, right off the main street.
