Kyteler's Inn
Highlight • Pub
Its first owner holds a special place in Kilkenny history. The daughter of a Norman banker, Alice de Kyteler married four times and amassed a considerable fortune in the process. Local jealousies abounded and she was eventually accused of witchcraft and sentenced to be burned. However, her excellent connections with the local nobility ensured that she was 'summoned' out of the country to England before the execution could take place.
(there's a lot of history here... I've shortened it 😉)
In 1986 Kyteler's Inn was acquired by its current owner, Nicky Flynn, who set out to revitalize it as a place for good food, drink, entertainment and traditional Irish hospitality.
