Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny

Our Story

A Kilkenny landmark,
kept in the family

Lanigan's Bar & Restaurant has been a fixture of Kilkenny life for generations. You'll find us at Rose Inn Street, Kilkenny city centre, 2 minutes from Kilkenny Castle — a central Kilkenny pub, beside the Medieval Mile Museum.

Three settings, one soul. By day a bustling gastro pub serving Kilkenny. By evening the 14ft screen comes to life and the whole city finds its way in. By night the late bar takes over: cocktails, live music, and groups celebrating on Rose Inn Street.

1,430+ Google reviews and 800+ on TripAdvisor don't happen by accident. They're the record of every warm welcome and every pint poured right.
