The Langton Family are delighted to have the recognition of a four star hotel and were quoted as saying that ‘Langton House Hotel is still Langtons where locals and non locals alike are always their priority and improving upon the experience is and has always been the core goal’.

For sheer variety of bar offerings in one space, Langtons Hotel in Kilkenny wins hands down. A bone fide super pub, whether you fancy a quiet drink or a big night out, it has a venue to suit.
The Edward Langton Bar is all olde world charm, the 67 Bar is leather seats, food and full waiter service. Then there is Harry’s Bar, the Middle Bar and the Garden Bar. The Living Room is has wood panelled walls and plush velvet curtains, plus its own outdoor oriental bamboo seating area. If it’s a quick cappuccino you’re after, the Marble City Bar Tea Room, on High Street, is also part of its stable.
The latest addition is the Set Theatre, a multipurpose venue that can hold 400 people for live acts. Stay here and you could be in a different pub every night of the week without leaving the hotel

This central pub has a marvelous facade of carved wood, wrought iron, and polished brass, with flower boxes overhead — and the interior is equally inviting. Even if you don’t stop for a drink here, you’ll certainly want to take a picture. For a more genteel experience, try the new tearooms downstairs — they’re open every day from 9am to 7pm. If you choose to have lunch here, a main course will set you back about €8.

No self-respecting Irishman — or anyone, for that matter — would pass through Kilkenny without stopping for a pint. It’s a classic traditional pub, with a lovely fireplace, etched mirrors, stained-glass windows, and burgundy-leather banquettes. On summer days, everyone heads to the back room — actually a lush, plant-filled conservatory with Gothic-style windows and a garden backed by the old city walls. Langton’s has won plaudits for its pub grub, too, so bring your appetite.
