☰Langton's

Langton's is a Kilkenny institution. The pub sprawls through multiple interconnected rooms and bars behind its John Street frontage, each with a different character — from cosy snugs to a large late-night venue at the back. It has won national pub awards repeatedly, and while that draws tourists, it remains genuinely popular with locals too. The food is solid pub fare, and there's often live music at weekends. A good starting point for a night out in Kilkenny.
