⠀ The itinerary writes itself: breakfast, Castlecomer for @joy.thorpe (vintage & decorative antiques), back to town for a slow afternoon, browse a gallery, stop into a bookshop, and retreat to a fireside tipple at Hibernian Bar. Quiet luxury, local knowledge ✨⠀
We are finally going to brave saying the magic word... Christmas in Kilkenny 🤍 Enjoy the warmth of our legendary hospitality, with roaring open fires, the scent of festive Christmas trees, and halls twinkling with lights and holly. Limited availability remains for this festive season so we would highly recommend swiftly reserving yours 🎄✨
At Ember, Mario runs a room the way good conductors lead an orchestra: confidently, without fuss. Book dinner by the braii fire there, end it across the corridor in Hibernian Bar with a nightcap & live music here. For restaurants near Kilkenny Castle, no pairing can do better 🔥✨
An hour at Butler Gallery to reset the eyes. Then the short walk back along The Parade,the city a little quieter, colours a little truer. Upstairs: lamplight, luxurious linen, and the permission to do nothing at all on these darkening autumn evenings ✨
⠀ City-centre lunch in Kilkenny that takes an hour, not your afternoon:sourced local, served warm, and priced like we want to see you often. Walk-in only, bring the colleagues, keep the pace ⠀
